Red blood cell function in kidney failure
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how red blood cells work in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It aims to understand blood flow and may help guide future treatments.

This study tests whether adding a personalized exercise program to regular dialysis can improve how well your red blood cells move and work. It may help people on dialysis feel better and have healthier blood.
This trial tests a special blood-filtering treatment (hemoperfusion) for people with advanced kidney disease on regular dialysis. It aims to remove harmful substances that standard dialysis may not fully clear.
This study looks at how well the heart's pumping and relaxing function works in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It may help doctors understand heart problems better in this group.
This study looks at how well erythropoietin (a drug that helps your body make red blood cells) works for people with end-stage kidney disease who are on regular hemodialysis. It also checks if metabolic syndrome (a group of conditions like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and extra belly fat) affects how well this drug works.
This study looks at how blood flow to the kidneys changes during hemodialysis in people who have just started dialysis. It may help doctors understand how to better protect kidney function.
This trial tests if doing exercises while on hemodialysis can help people with end-stage kidney disease. It is for patients aged 50-60 who have been on dialysis for at least 3 months.
