Compare two ways to clean blood during dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two methods for removing waste products from the blood in people who need dialysis. It aims to see whether one method works better or is safer during extra-renal (outside the body) blood purification.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be someone who currently needs renal replacement therapy (dialysis or similar blood-cleaning treatment)
- Be age 18 or older
- Cannot be pregnant
- Have platelet levels high enough (platelets not below 30 G/L)
- Be able to give free and informed consent, and be able to participate legally (not under full guardianship or deprived of freedom)

This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration) to see which is better at removing waste from the blood in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
This study compares two blood-thinning medications used during continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury: one uses citrate (a chemical that prevents clotting) and the other uses heparin (a standard blood thinner). By looking at how well these treatments work, the study aims to find the safest and most effective way to keep the dialysis filter working.
This study compares two ways to prevent blood clots during kidney dialysis in people with sepsis-related kidney failure. The goal is to see which method is safer and works better to keep the dialysis filter working properly.
This study compares two ways of changing the filter in the dialysis machine for people with severe acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit. It looks at whether changing the filter more often (standard) is better or worse than leaving it in longer (shorter filter lifespan).
This study compares two ways of giving kidney dialysis to patients who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It aims to find which method works better for filtering the blood.
This study compares two types of dialysis fluid (citrate-based vs acetate-based) to see which better helps protect blood pressure during intermittent dialysis. It may help people in intensive care who are at risk of dialysis-related low blood pressure.
