Comparing custom salt levels vs. standard care in dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and on dialysis for at least 3 months, 3 times a week for 4 hours each time.
- Your dialysis fluid currently has a standard sodium concentration of 136 mmol/L.
- You produce very little urine (less than 300 mL per day).
- You have either: high weight gain between sessions, high blood pressure before dialysis, frequent symptoms during dialysis, or excess body fluid measured by a special device.
- You do not have certain medical conditions or implants that would interfere with the study.

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 changing the amount of salt in your dialysis fluid can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health. If you are on dialysis, this could be a way to feel better and reduce heart risks.
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 compares two different salt (sodium) levels in the dialysis fluid to see which one helps people recover better after hemodialysis. If you meet the study’s dialysis schedule and health requirements, your team may assign you to one of the sodium levels during treatments.
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.
This trial compares a newer type of dialysis called hemodiafiltration with standard hemodialysis to see if it improves certain health measures in people with end-stage kidney disease. It may help determine which method works better for long-term treatment.
