Heart rhythm changes during dialysis for kidney failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between the ages of 21 and 59 (the trial is for adults older than 20 and younger than 60).
- You have been on regular hemodialysis (dialysis that uses a machine to clean your blood) for at least one year.
- You do not have other serious health problems, such as heart failure, heart disease, or liver disease.
- You have not had an organ transplant.
- You do not 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 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.
This study tests different lengths of exercise during dialysis sessions to see if they improve dialysis effectiveness, reduce fatigue and depression, and boost strength and quality of life. It could help you feel better and get more out of your dialysis treatments.
This study tests whether adding exercise during your dialysis sessions can improve your physical fitness, body composition, and survival. If you are on hemodialysis and meet the health criteria, you would either exercise while on the machine or receive standard care.
This study looks at how often people with chronic kidney disease have irregular heartbeats. It compares people on dialysis with those not on dialysis to understand the risk and improve care.
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.
