Ultrafiltration versus usual dialysis in people on hemodialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares a specific way of removing fluid during dialysis (isolated ultrafiltration) with conventional hemodialysis. It aims to see how each approach affects blood flow and fluid shifts in people with end-stage kidney disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old and agree to join in writing
- Have end-stage kidney disease and currently receive hemodialysis
- Your “dry weight” (target weight after dialysis) has been stable for at least 1 month
- Between short dialysis breaks, you gain more than 2 liters of fluid weight
- You can follow the study instructions and stay with the required dialysis schedule

This trial compares a newer type of dialysis called hemodiafiltration with standard hemodialysis to see if it improves certain health measures in people with end-stage kidney disease. It may help determine which method works better for long-term treatment.
This trial tests whether a faster rate of fluid removal during dialysis can help hospitalized patients with end-stage kidney disease who have severe fluid buildup. It aims to reduce fluid congestion and improve outcomes.
This study compares two advanced dialysis methods to see which one removes waste products from the blood better. If you are already on a type of dialysis called expanded hemodialysis, you might be able to join.
This study tests whether removing extra fluid during your regular dialysis sessions can help lower blood pressure and reduce fluid buildup. If you have kidney failure and are on hemodialysis, this could improve your heart health and well-being.
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 study looks at how blood pressure changes during hemodialysis and how much fluid is removed, to see what approach works best for controlling blood pressure. It may help dialysis patients whose blood pressure is often high before or after treatment.
