This trial tests whether a supplement called CoQ10, along with supervised exercise, can improve how the body uses energy in people on chronic dialysis. It may help with muscle function and overall health if your heart and dialysis situation are stable enough.
This study looks at how well erythropoietin (a drug that helps your body make red blood cells) works for people with end-stage kidney disease who are on regular hemodialysis. It also checks if metabolic syndrome (a group of conditions like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and extra belly fat) affects how well this drug works.
This study tests whether taking probiotics (good bacteria) or synbiotics (probiotics plus fiber) can improve the nutritional health of people on dialysis. It may help those who struggle with nutrition while waiting for a kidney transplant.
This trial tests whether a special blend of probiotics and prebiotics (called a synbiotic) can improve gut health and reduce harmful waste products in the blood for people on hemodialysis.
This study tests whether taking probiotics (beneficial bacteria) can help make your erythropoietin medicine work better for treating anemia related to kidney disease.
This trial tests whether curcumin, a natural compound found in turmeric, can reduce inflammation in people receiving hemodialysis. If you are on dialysis and already take turmeric or antioxidant supplements, this study may help show if curcumin has extra benefits.
