Niacin for cholesterol and phosphate in dialysis patients
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a vitamin called niacin can help lower a type of cholesterol (Lp(a)) and reduce high phosphate levels in people on hemodialysis. It may offer a new way to improve heart and bone health for dialysis patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been on hemodialysis for at least 3 months
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial tests whether adding niacin (a vitamin) to your current treatment can help manage rheumatoid arthritis while also improving cholesterol levels. It might be an option if you have stable RA and mild to moderate cholesterol issues.
This trial tests whether a daily supplement called nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3) can help people with moderate chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if it can slow down kidney function decline and improve overall health.
This trial compares two treatment goals for blood phosphate levels in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. It may help determine which target is safer and works better in real-world care.
This study looks at how the body handles phosphate in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand how to better manage phosphate levels to improve health.
This trial tests a program to help hemodialysis patients better understand phosphorus control and stick to their phosphate-binding medications. It aims to improve health outcomes by supporting patients who have been on dialysis for over a year.
This study is looking at whether fish oil supplements can improve the function of 'good' cholesterol (HDL) in people who are on maintenance hemodialysis. If you are a stable dialysis patient, you may be able to join to help researchers understand how fish oil affects heart and blood vessel health.
