Comparing lower vs. higher bicarbonate in dialysis fluid
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to have a valid health card number.
- You must have been on hemodialysis for at least 3 months.
- You cannot be on nightly dialysis at the center or have dialysis more than 4 times a week.

This trial tests two types of dialysis filters (medium cut-off and high-flux) to see which one better manages mineral and bone problems common in people on hemodialysis. It may help find a way to improve bone health and mineral balance.
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 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 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 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.
