Nutrition check for hemodialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a simple body measurement combined with a blood test can help assess nutrition in people on hemodialysis. It aims to find a better way to check if you're getting enough nutrients.

This study tests whether adding extra nutrition during your dialysis sessions can help maintain or improve your muscle mass. If you are on long-term hemodialysis, this could potentially help you feel stronger and healthier.
This study measures how well a dialysis method called haemodiafiltration removes waste products from the blood, tracks how patients feel, and monitors sodium balance. It aims to improve treatment for people with kidney failure on dialysis.
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
This study looks at blood markers related to iron and other body processes (like minerals, liver function, and inflammation) in people receiving hemodialysis. The results may help doctors better understand what affects health in dialysis patients.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help measure muscle loss in people on dialysis. If you join, researchers will check your blood levels and see how they relate to your muscle strength and function, which might help improve care for people with kidney failure.
