Kidney blood flow during dialysis in new dialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood flow to the kidneys changes during hemodialysis in people who have just started dialysis. It may help doctors understand how to better protect kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease and have just started hemodialysis (within the last 3 months).
- You still produce at least 500 ml of urine each day, or your remaining kidney function (GFR) is above 3.
- You have a working vascular access (such as a fistula or graft) that allows blood flow of at least 180 ml per minute during dialysis.
- You do not have severe heart failure, active infection, severe anemia, or polycystic kidney disease.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not participating in other clinical trials.

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 looks at blood flow and sounds in new arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) during dialysis. If you need a new AVF in your forearm, this trial may help doctors understand how to make your fistula work better.
This study looks at heart and bone health in people on dialysis compared to healthy volunteers. If you are on dialysis for at least 6 months, or if you are healthy with no kidney issues, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if doing exercises while on hemodialysis can help people with end-stage kidney disease. It is for patients aged 50-60 who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months.
This study tests whether doing gentle exercise during dialysis with a special cuff that partly limits blood flow can help people on dialysis get stronger and feel better. It might be a good fit if you are on dialysis, not already exercising regularly, and have no serious health conditions that make exercise risky.
This study looks at how kidney failure affects the small blood vessels and heart muscle in people on dialysis. Researchers want to understand how common these changes are and may use heart imaging and special medications to test how your blood vessels work.
