Adding urea to final dialysis fluid
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests adding urea to the final dialysis fluid for people with very high urea levels. It aims to make dialysis safer and more effective for those who need it urgently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your blood urea level must be above 120.
- You must have high potassium (over 5.5) or very low carbon dioxide (under 15), or need urgent dialysis due to poisoning.
- You need to be on dialysis.
- You must be 18 or older.
- You cannot be on continuous dialysis (CRRT).

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 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 whether eating a higher-potassium diet is safe and helpful for people with early-to-moderate kidney failure who are not yet on dialysis. You may be asked to follow a specific diet plan and have blood tests to monitor potassium and other health markers.
This trial tests whether urea can help treat dangerously low sodium levels in patients with SIAD (a condition where the body retains too much water) who haven't responded to drinking less fluid. Urea is a naturally occurring substance that may help restore normal sodium balance.
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 is testing whether adjusting the amount of potassium in your dialysis fluid can help prevent heart problems and other health issues. If you are on in-center dialysis three times a week, this study may help find a safer way to manage your potassium levels.
