Forskningsbeskrivning

  • The main purpose of my research projects is to better characterize the
    prognosis of chronic kidney disease and its various stages, with a focus on
    cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. We further aim to find risk factors
    and biomarkers of CKD, CKD progression and CKD-related cardiovascular
    disease. We also aim to describe changes in uremic symptoms and quality of
    life in people who experience CKD progression and kidney replacement therapy
    initiation and to explore their associations with different types of
    treatments.
    We use different sources to study our research questions, such as general
    population registries, renal registries, and clinical cohorts. Among the
    epidemiological projects, I mainly use existing registers linked to other
    health data sources (particularly the Swedish Renal Registry - chronic kidney
    disease [SRR-CKD] and Stockholm Creatinine Measurement project [
    SCREAM
    ]. Currently I am leading an initiative to start the first
    registry-randomized controlled trial (INITIATE) in the Swedish Renal
    Registry.
    My projects also include research in clinical cohorts. I am the national
    coordinator for the EQUAL study in Sweden. EQUAL is a European multicenter
    study where about 1700 patients are recruited in 6 countries. Sweden
    participates with 305 patients and 13 clinics. I have coordinated the Swedish
    part of the study which is now just completed
  • I am part of both the steering
    group and the publication committee. In the EQUAL study we collected data at
    study visits every 3-6 months for 4 years. In addition to routine clinical
    information, nutritional status and patient questionnaires, we have recorded
    repeated body composition, hand-grip measurements, and biobank samples
    (blood, DNA, plasma, serum, urine). Another clinical cohort is the recently
    started RENAL-QS where we will follow clinical symptoms, quality of life and
    biomarkers in patients with advanced stage CKD before and after dialysis
    initiation, and investigate their relationship with different treatment
    alternatives and dialysis modalities.
