Pressure inside the belly during PD for polycystic kidney disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at factors that affect the pressure inside the belly (intraperitoneal pressure) in people with polycystic kidney disease who are on peritoneal dialysis. The goal is to better understand how PD works for these patients and help guide their care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease.
- You have a PD catheter in place and have been doing regular peritoneal dialysis.
- You can tolerate at least 1500 mL of dialysis fluid in your belly.

This study is testing a new computer tool that helps doctors see how well peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney treatment done at home) removes waste from your body. It may help make your dialysis more effective.
This study surveys healthcare workers in European children's dialysis centers to measure and understand intraperitoneal pressure (pressure inside the belly during dialysis). It may help improve care for children on dialysis.
This study enrolls adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) to better understand the disease and its related changes in the body. It may help researchers find improved ways to track the condition and support future treatments.
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet can slow the progression of polycystic kidney disease in adults who are at risk for rapid decline. You'll follow a carefully planned low-carb, high-fat diet to see if it helps protect your kidneys.
This study collects samples from the belly (related to the peritoneal lining) to build a “biobank” for future research. It may help patients and families by improving understanding of kidney disease and kidney dialysis-related health issues.
This study tests whether changing what you eat can help reduce inflammation in your kidneys if you have ADPKD (a genetic kidney disease). Researchers will measure a specific protein in your urine to see if diet can slow kidney disease.
