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 trial tests two methods to reduce drops in blood pressure during dialysis: cooling the dialysis fluid or changing the sodium levels. It may help people who often have low blood pressure during treatment.
This trial is testing whether using a lower or higher amount of bicarbonate in the dialysis fluid affects the health of people on hemodialysis. It aims to find the best balance to help patients feel better and avoid side effects.
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 tests whether taking sodium bicarbonate tablets by mouth can help correct low bicarbonate levels in people on hemodialysis, compared to using higher bicarbonate in the dialysis fluid. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to treat metabolic acidosis, a common condition in dialysis patients.
This trial is testing whether taking sodium bicarbonate (a common ingredient in baking soda) during dialysis can help control a sudden rise in blood pressure that some people experience during their treatment. If you have this type of blood pressure increase, this study may offer a way to manage it.
