Dialysis type, blood flow, and salt storage in the body
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 tests whether changing the salt (sodium) level in dialysis fluid can reduce problems in blood vessels. It is done in adult dialysis centers to compare outcomes between two sodium levels.
This trial explores whether changing the amount of salt (sodium) in your dialysis fluid can help control your blood pressure and improve the health of your blood vessels. It is for people who are already stable on in-center hemodialysis 3 times a week.
This study looks at how the body handles salt (sodium) in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. If you join, researchers will test how your body responds to changes in fluids and salt levels.
