Fluid changes in children on dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how fluid levels change in children on regular hemodialysis (a treatment for kidney failure). It may help doctors better manage their care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 16 years old.
- They have been on regular hemodialysis for at least 6 months.
- They do NOT have a chronic lung disease or lung infection in the last 2 months.
- They do NOT have certain heart problems (heart failure, fluid in the lungs, or fluid around the heart).

This study checks whether stable dialysis patients have high blood pressure in their lungs. It uses a special fluid status assessment to look for this condition.
This study looks at how blood flow to the kidneys changes during hemodialysis in people who have just started dialysis. It may help doctors understand how to better protect kidney function.
This study looks at improving how well dialysis removes waste from the blood and uses water in children. It may help make treatments more effective and efficient.
This study looks at why people with chronic kidney disease develop fluid buildup around their lungs (pleural effusion). Researchers will examine fluid samples to understand what types of fluid develop and how kidney disease affects this condition.
This study checks if giving fluids helps children on a ventilator with circulation problems. Doctors will use ultrasound to see how the heart responds to a small fluid boost.
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.
