Achieving a lasting cure through transplantation is a pivotal goal, and The Kidney Foundation of Canada is pleased to support this pilot project which may lead to improved care and maximize the success of transplantation.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>-The Kidney Foundation of Canada<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>CDTRP KFOC Research Innovation Grant<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>: Dr. William Beaubien-Souligny<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Project Title:<\/span> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Second-generation tissue oximetry using Near-infrared spectroscopy for post-operative kidney transplant monitoring in adult recipients<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Main affiliation: <\/strong>Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Theme 3: <\/strong>Engineer and Allocate Better Grafts<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Lay Abstract<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><style type='text\/css'>.reading-box-container-2 .element-bottomshadow:before,.reading-box-container-2 .element-bottomshadow:after{opacity:0.7;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-reading-box-container reading-box-container-2\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#333c4e;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:84px;\"><div class=\"reading-box\" style=\"background-color:#f6f6f6;border-width:1px;border-color:#f6f6f6;border-left-width:3px;border-left-color:var(--primary_color);border-style:solid;\"><div class=\"reading-box-additional\">\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the early period following kidney transplantation, various complications can arise, endangering the health of the renal graft and the transplant recipient. Several hours can elapse between the onset of a complication and its detection through current monitoring methods (vital signs, urine output measurement, lab tests). A method allowing immediate detection of potential complications could speed up their management and reduce their impact on the patient and their new renal graft. We propose a study to use a sensor that determines the oxygen proportion in an organ through the skin using light similar to infrared. The advantages of this device are that it can provide continuous information over time and presents little risk since it is applied to the skin with an adhesive. We plan to include 40 adult volunteer participants in this study. The adhesive sensor will be installed on the skin near the surgical scar after transplantation. The information from the sensor will be recorded over a total period of 48 hours post-transplantation. The data will then be analyzed to determine how the sensor signal evolves after the graft in individuals who did not develop complications compared to those who did. These preliminary data will help determine if a larger study could be conducted to ascertain if information from tissue oximetry sensors can alert the medical team early when a complication occurs after a kidney transplantation. Prompt management of these issues could improve care and maximize the chances of the kidney transplant being successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/announcing-the-results-of-the-2024-cdtrp-research-innovation-grant-competition-8-new-projects-funded\/\"><strong>View the results of the 2024 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition.<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"30px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/cdtrp-innovation-grant-winners\/\">View past CDTRP Innovation Grants recipients here.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":29448,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29439"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29439"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29439\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29469,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29439\/revisions\/29469"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
