Kidney nerve treatment for high blood pressure in dialysis patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation (using radio waves to calm overactive nerves in the kidney) to see if it helps lower blood pressure in people on dialysis who have resistant high blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on long-term dialysis (hemodialysis) for at least 3 months.
- Your blood pressure must still be too high despite taking at least 3 different blood pressure medications.
- Your blood pressure medications need to be stable for at least 4 weeks before the study starts.
- You cannot have had a kidney denervation procedure before.
- You cannot have any serious blockages or abnormalities in your kidney's main blood vessels.

This study tests a treatment called renal denervation, which uses a special procedure to calm nerves near the kidneys that can raise blood pressure. It may help people whose high blood pressure is not well controlled despite taking several medications.
This trial tests a new way to perform a procedure called renal denervation, which uses radio waves to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. By getting feedback during the procedure, doctors hope to make the treatment more effective for people with high blood pressure.
This trial tests whether stimulating nerves around the kidney can lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure stays uncontrolled despite treatment. It may help by improving how the kidneys and blood vessels regulate blood pressure.
This trial tests a procedure that targets nerves near the kidney (renal denervation) to help lower blood pressure in people whose hypertension is not controlled despite medication. It uses a special 3D mapping system to guide the procedure.
This trial tests a procedure that uses heat to disrupt nerves in the kidney arteries to lower blood pressure. Participants must have high blood pressure and be willing to temporarily stop their blood pressure medications to see if the procedure works alone.
This trial tests a procedure that uses a catheter through the wrist or thigh to quiet overactive nerves in the kidney artery. It aims to lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure stays uncontrolled despite using multiple blood pressure medicines.
