NCT06173141
Chronic kidney disease has emerged as one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and it is one of a small number of non-communicable diseases that have shown an increase in associated deaths over the past 2 decades. The high number of affected individuals and the significant adverse impact of chronic kidney disease should prompt enhanced efforts for better prevention and treatment. Chronic kidney disease is a serious medical problem, as it is associated with high risks of complications which lead to poor quality of life and physical capacity.
NCT06980753
The goal of this project is to provide novel technology that will pave the way from the present single-point (analogue) endocrinology towards continuous cortisol and aldosterone monitoring with full time resolution. Current endocrine practice relies on occasional and often random determination of hormone level or functional tests that require a clinical setting. These measurements include sample extraction and analysis in a clinical laboratory rendering such tests laborious and expensive. Most importantly, through the individual variations of hormone oscillation and spatiotemporal distribution of hormones, infrequent hormone measurements have limited diagnostic and prognostic value as the dynamic changes are not captured and relevant intra-individual variability occurs. A requirement for this vision are sensing solutions capable to track hormone dynamics over prolonged periods at high patient comfort (e.g., at home), as targeted by this research proposal. This project has the overarching goals of (1) establishing dynamic interstitial aldosterone and cortisol monitoring as reliable diagnostic tool for cortisol and aldosterone excess or deficiency, and (2) develop a wearable molecular sensing device to detect them accurately.
