Cramps in kidney disease patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how common and severe muscle cramps are in people with chronic kidney disease (stages 3 to 5), including those on dialysis. It aims to better understand cramps so doctors can find better ways to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how common high potassium levels are in people with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis. It may help find who is at risk and how to prevent it.
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 looks at how chronic kidney disease (long-term kidney damage) affects heart rhythm. Researchers will monitor your heart to understand these patterns better, which may help doctors treat kidney disease patients more effectively.
This study is collecting information from people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to understand how the disease progresses over time. It does not test any new treatments, so you keep your usual care.
This study measures how strong your leg muscles are in patients with chronic kidney disease who receive dialysis treatment. Understanding normal strength patterns may help doctors better support kidney disease patients' physical health and quality of life.
This study is looking at the link between kidney disease and heart disease. It aims to understand how heart problems affect people with chronic kidney disease. The trial does not test a new drug, but rather follows patients to learn more about their health.
