Kidney nerve treatment for high blood pressure in dialysis patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary 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 a new device that uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves, which can help lower blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure that hasn't responded well to standard treatments, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
This study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with mild high blood pressure who have not taken blood pressure medication for at least four weeks.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses targeted energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with high diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) who have not yet taken blood pressure medication.
This study tests a procedure that uses sound waves to calm overactive kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure is hard to treat or who cannot tolerate blood pressure medicines.
