Heart strain during dialysis: a study on fluid removal
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how quickly fluid is removed during dialysis affects the heart. It may help find safer ways to manage fluid removal for people on hemodialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on hemodialysis (HD).
- You gain at least 2.5% of your dry weight in fluid over the 3-day break between dialysis sessions.
- You can understand and agree to take part in the study.
- You do not have a serious infection or active cancer that causes body-wide inflammation.
- Your phosphate levels are controlled enough, as judged by your doctor.

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 looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.
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 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.
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 tests whether adjusting the amount of potassium in the dialysis fluid can reduce heart problems and other complications for people on dialysis. If you join, the potassium level in your dialysis solution may be changed, and researchers will track your health to see if it helps.
