Testing a dialysis fluid change for kidney failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using a dialysis fluid with a different bicarbonate level can help people with long-term kidney failure treated with regular hemodialysis. If you qualify, you may be assigned to receive a specific bicarbonate concentration during your dialysis sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have kidney failure that is long-term (end-stage renal disease) and you are already on dialysis
- You have been on regular hemodialysis for more than 90 days
- You are at least 18 years old
- You receive hemodialysis three times per week
- Your hemoglobin level is 8.0 g/dL or higher (a blood count measure)

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.
This study compares two different strengths of a chemical (bicarbonate) used in your dialysis fluid. The goal is to see which one is better for your health, and the results could help doctors choose the best settings for all patients.
This study tests a type of dialysis that uses different levels of bicarbonate to see if it can improve health for people with kidney failure. It may help patients who are already on regular dialysis.
This trial compares two ways to correct low bicarbonate levels in people on hemodialysis: taking a sodium bicarbonate pill versus increasing the bicarbonate in the dialysis fluid. It aims to see which method better improves your acid balance and overall well-being.
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 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.
