Clinical trials to improve care
Clinical trials
Since 2016, Nefrocenter Research has combined clinical experience, research, and innovation: from expertise in nephrology and diabetology comes a multidisciplinary pathway dedicated to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, aimed at improving the quality of care and patient well-being.
Projects
Research at the patient's service
Every protocol stems from a real clinical need observed within our network
Evidence-based approach
Rigorous methodology: registered trials, peer-reviews, independent replications.
International academic network
Italian universities and European reference centers as regular partners.
Transfer of results
The data produced is integrated back into NefroCenter clinical protocols for new projects
Multiple research areas, a single method
Publications and research projects are organized by scientific area. Each area is managed by dedicated researchers and has its own academic collaborations and active trials.
PEHEDAL ESKD
This is NefroCenter’s concrete response to a question that remained unanswered for too long: is it possible to transform dialysis hours into an active therapeutic opportunity?
I. The context
With approximately 350 patients enrolled across 11 centers in Campania, a multidisciplinary team of nephrologists, neuropsychologists, nutritionists, and AFA specialists, and wearable technologies for home monitoring, this study is redefining what it means to “take care” of those living with end-stage kidney disease.
II. The method
Funded by the PNRR as part of the Age-It Extended Partnership for its high scientific value, the project is the result of extensive and rigorous clinical and ethical work by the NefroCenter team. Preliminary results are already surprising. The final ones could change clinical practice.
