How sodium levels are managed in kidney failure
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You need dialysis because your kidneys have failed (either from surgery or disease).
- You have been on stable dialysis for at least 3 months.
- You produce very little urine (less than half a cup a day).
- Your blood sodium level is within a normal range (between 135 and 145 mmol/L).
- Your blood potassium level is normal (between 3.5 and 5 mmol/L).

This observational study measures how body fluid and electrolytes change in adults with low blood sodium caused by low “tonicity” (not diluted by high sugar or other causes). It may help clinicians better understand which treatment approaches keep sodium levels safer and more stable.
This study looks at how salt builds up in the skin of people with chronic kidney disease. It involves different groups testing either sodium intake, sodium excretion, or water intake to see how these affect blood pressure and kidney function.
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 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 a sodium management tool can improve outcomes for people on hemodialysis. If you are on dialysis three times a week with a Fresenius 6008 machine, you may be able to join.
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.
