QTc interval changes in dialysis patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at changes in a heart rhythm measurement called QTc interval in people on regular dialysis. It may help doctors understand heart risks in dialysis patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have end-stage kidney disease and be on regular dialysis for at least one year
- Your age must be between 20 and 60 years old
- You cannot have serious health problems like heart failure, heart disease, liver disease, or autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus)
- You must not have had an organ transplant or have cancer

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study looks at how the heart and blood vessels work together during dialysis. It may help doctors understand why some patients have heart problems during treatment.
This study looks at thyroid function, cholesterol levels, and uric acid levels in people on hemodialysis. It aims to understand how these factors relate to each other in dialysis patients.
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 looks at how a simple questionnaire (called KCCQ) about your heart health and quality of life can help predict future heart risks for people on dialysis. Researchers want to see if your answers to this questionnaire can help doctors take better care of you.
