Starting incremental peritoneal dialysis prescription
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a gradual approach to starting peritoneal dialysis (a type of dialysis done at home) for people who are new to dialysis. It aims to see if slowly increasing the dose is safe and helpful.

This study tests whether an added dialysis plan can improve health outcomes for adults who are starting hemodialysis (a machine-based form of dialysis). It may help doctors find better ways to support people during their first year of dialysis care.
This trial studies whether starting hemodialysis in a gradual “step-up” way is safe and works well for adults who are newly starting maintenance dialysis for advanced kidney failure. If you qualify, you may be assigned to a specific dialysis start plan and be closely monitored.
This study tests whether a special dialysis fluid called icodextrin can help people on a low-dose form of peritoneal dialysis stay on that low dose longer before needing a full dose. It is for adults who still make some urine and can do dialysis at home.
This trial is testing whether a special diet and a supplement (Ketosteril) can help people starting hemodialysis feel better. It aims to improve your quality of life by making dialysis and diet work together.
This trial tests a new device called WEAKID for people on peritoneal dialysis. It aims to see if the device is safe to use. Participants must have been on PD for at least 3 months and have no recent infections or catheter problems.
This study compares starting hemodialysis two times per week versus three times per week for veterans in their first year of dialysis. It aims to see if a less frequent schedule can be just as safe and effective for those who still make urine.
