Heart and blood vessel function in dialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels work together during dialysis sessions. It may help doctors predict future heart problems so they can better care for people on dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be on a regular dialysis schedule of three sessions per week.
- You must have been on dialysis for at least 3 months.
- Your dialysis must be considered effective (based on a standard measure).
- You must NOT have had a kidney transplant before.
- You must NOT have had a heart attack, unstable heart pain, or stroke in the past 6 months.

This study looks at how the electrical activity of the heart (which controls your heartbeat) changes during and after your regular dialysis sessions. The goal is to see if dialysis affects your heart's rhythm, which can help doctors monitor and prevent heart problems in people on dialysis.
This study looks at how high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in people with chronic kidney disease may affect the heart. Doctors will use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for changes.
This study tests if doing gentle exercise just before dialysis can help prevent heart damage that sometimes happens during treatment. You may be able to join if you are on long-term dialysis and have not been exercising vigorously.
This study looks at how well the heart relaxes and fills with blood in people with kidney failure who are on hemodialysis. By checking this, doctors hope to better understand heart health in dialysis patients.
This study looks at whether people on dialysis have problems with their small blood vessels, which might affect heart health. It involves tests that measure how well the heart and blood vessels respond to certain medicines.
This study uses ultrasound imaging of the heart to predict which patients may have sudden drops in blood pressure when starting a type of dialysis called CVVHDF. The goal is to help doctors better manage patients during this procedure, which may reduce complications.
