Comparing dialysis methods to clean blood in kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares different types of dialysis to see which removes waste products (uremic toxins) best from the blood. If you have been on dialysis for at least 6 months and use the same filter for a year, this trial may help find a better way to clean your blood.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been on dialysis for at least 6 months.
- You have used the same filter (like Theranova or HFR) for the last 12 months.
- You make less than 200 ml of urine per day (little to no urine).
- You do dialysis three times a week.
- Each dialysis session lasts at least 210 minutes (3.5 hours).

This trial compares two types of dialysis—expanded hemodialysis and high-volume online hemodiafiltration—to see which removes waste products from the blood better. If you are on standard expanded hemodialysis, joining could help find the best way to clean your blood.
This study compares two methods for removing waste products from the blood in people who need dialysis. It aims to see whether one method works better or is safer during extra-renal (outside the body) blood purification.
This study compares three types of dialysis filters to see which works best at removing waste from your blood and improving your health outcomes. If you receive regular hemodialysis at a clinic, this trial may help doctors understand which filter type is most effective for you.
This study compares two types of dialysis filters (medium cut-off vs. high-flux) to see if one works better for cleaning your blood. If you are already on regular dialysis, this trial may help find the best option for you.
This trial compares a newer type of dialysis called hemodiafiltration with standard hemodialysis to see if it improves certain health measures in people with end-stage kidney disease. It may help determine which method works better for long-term treatment.
This study tests a new way to do hemodialysis that might remove certain waste products (called protein-bound uremic toxins) more effectively than standard dialysis. It could help people on long-term dialysis feel better and have fewer complications.
