Testing a new dialysis option for low blood pressure
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new dialysis option called 'Biologic Fusion' that may help people who often have low blood pressure during dialysis. It compares this new method to standard dialysis to see if it is safer and works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years of age or older
- You have been on standard hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration for at least 3 months, going 3 times a week for 4 hours or more per session
- You often have low blood pressure episodes during or after dialysis
- Your body makes very little or no urine (300 ml or less per day)
- Your dry weight has been stable for at least 4 weeks

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.
This study tests a new feature of a home dialysis machine called FlexPoint that may allow you to fill your belly with more or less fluid depending on your needs. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe for people doing peritoneal dialysis at home.
This trial tests whether adding a special filter called pHA130 to your regular dialysis treatments can better remove certain waste products from your blood and improve your quality of life. It's for people who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months and meet a few health requirements.
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 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.
