Study of heart risk in people starting dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at heart (cardiovascular) risk factors in people who are just starting dialysis for chronic kidney failure. It may help doctors better understand what heart-related issues to watch for early during dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must sign a consent form to join the study
- You must have long-term kidney failure that is starting dialysis now
- You must be starting dialysis therapy (not just preparing for it)
- You cannot be pregnant during the study

This study looks for new markers in blood or urine that may help explain heart (cardiovascular) risk in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors better predict risk, especially in those not yet on dialysis.
This study is looking at the link between kidney disease and heart disease. It aims to understand how heart problems affect people with chronic kidney disease. The trial does not test a new drug, but rather follows patients to learn more about their health.
This study looks at a protein called lipoprotein(a) in the blood to see if it predicts heart problems in people with stage 4 chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis or transplant. Following participants for 18 months, it aims to find ways to better manage heart risk.
This study looks at heart and bone health in people on dialysis compared to healthy volunteers. If you are on dialysis for at least 6 months, or if you are healthy with no kidney issues, you may be able to join.
This study looks at new ways to check heart health in people with kidney disease. Researchers want to find out if special blood tests can help predict heart problems in patients on dialysis or those with earlier stage kidney disease.
This study looks at two blood tests (D-dimer and CRP) to see if they can help predict heart risks in people on long-term dialysis. It may help doctors better understand your heart health and prevent future problems.
