Testing different salt levels in dialysis fluid to prevent blood vessel events
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether changing the salt (sodium) level in dialysis fluid can reduce problems in blood vessels. It is done in adult dialysis centers to compare outcomes between two sodium levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) receiving regular maintenance hemodialysis
- Your dialysis unit mainly treats in-center patients (not mainly home dialysis support)
- Your unit uses a standard (default) dialysis fluid salt level for most sessions
- The unit agrees to assign patients to one of the two sodium levels being tested
- The study team at your unit can reliably collect the required study data

This study tests a potassium-containing salt substitute to see if it can be used safely for people on regular dialysis for kidney failure. You may be eligible if you already receive outpatient hemodialysis and meet several health and medication requirements.
This trial tests if adjusting the salt (sodium) in your dialysis fluid can improve your health. It is for people on dialysis who have trouble with too much fluid gain or high blood pressure between sessions.
This trial explores whether changing the amount of salt (sodium) in your dialysis fluid can help control your blood pressure and improve the health of your blood vessels. It is for people who are already stable on in-center hemodialysis 3 times a week.
This trial compares two different salt (sodium) levels in the dialysis fluid to see which one helps people recover better after hemodialysis. If you meet the study’s dialysis schedule and health requirements, your team may assign you to one of the sodium levels during treatments.
This study looks at how different types of dialysis affect salt stored in your tissues and your small blood vessels. It may help doctors understand how to improve dialysis treatments.
This trial tests different blood pressure goals for people receiving dialysis at a center. It aims to find which target is safest and most effective for managing blood pressure during treatment.
