Dialysis support study for people starting hemodialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether an added dialysis plan can improve health outcomes for adults who are starting hemodialysis (a machine-based form of dialysis). It may help doctors find better ways to support people during their first year of dialysis care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are starting hemodialysis as your first dialysis treatment
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent
- Your urine output is at least 0.5 liters per day (if you still make urine)
- Your care team thinks you’ll stay on hemodialysis for at least 1 year

This trial tests a gradual approach to starting peritoneal dialysis (a type of dialysis done at home) for people who are new to dialysis. It aims to see if slowly increasing the dose is safe and helpful.
This trial studies whether starting hemodialysis in a gradual “step-up” way is safe and works well for adults who are newly starting maintenance dialysis for advanced kidney failure. If you qualify, you may be assigned to a specific dialysis start plan and be closely monitored.
This trial is testing whether a special diet and a supplement (Ketosteril) can help people starting hemodialysis feel better. It aims to improve your quality of life by making dialysis and diet work together.
This study tests whether starting dialysis at twice a week, instead of the usual three times, is safe and effective for people who still have some kidney function. If the kidneys still make urine and clear waste, being on dialysis less often may maintain that function longer.
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodiafiltration and standard hemodialysis) to see which works better for older adults with kidney failure. You may be eligible if you are over 84, have been on dialysis for at least 3 months, and are generally healthy enough to participate.
This study compares starting hemodialysis two times per week versus three times per week for veterans in their first year of dialysis. It aims to see if a less frequent schedule can be just as safe and effective for those who still make urine.
