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 examines fluid from your dialysis to find early warning signs of scarring in the abdominal lining (peritoneal fibrosis). The goal is to help doctors detect and manage this condition better for people on peritoneal dialysis.
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 tests whether a specific diet can lower a marker of inflammation in the urine, which may help slow kidney damage in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
This trial aims to see how special dialysis treatment (called CRRT) changes the pressure inside your belly, which might help doctors make better treatment decisions. If you are in the intensive care unit and need this treatment, your participation could improve care for future patients with similar needs.
This study looks at a protein called DKK3 in the fluid that drains from your belly during peritoneal dialysis. The goal is to see if this protein can help predict early scarring (fibrosis) of the belly lining, so doctors can monitor and treat problems sooner.
