Comparing two dialysis fluid strengths for people on hemodialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and have a health card number.
- You must have been on hemodialysis for at least 3 months.
- Your dialysis center’s doctors must agree to take part in the study.
- You must not be on overnight or more-than-4-times-a-week dialysis.

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 trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodiafiltration and standard hemodialysis) to see which works better for older adults with kidney failure. You may be eligible if you are over 84, have been on dialysis for at least 3 months, and are generally healthy enough to participate.
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.
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 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.
