Cooler dialysis versus sodium changes for low blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to adjust dialysis treatment—using cooler fluid or changing salt (sodium) levels—to reduce sudden drops in blood pressure during dialysis. It may help people who often have low blood pressure during their sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been on dialysis for at least 6 months.
- You have had episodes of low blood pressure during dialysis.
- You are not severely anemic (your hemoglobin is not below 7 g/dl).
- You are not taking more than 3 blood pressure medications (on non-dialysis days).
- You do not have heart disease (like blocked arteries) and you are not taking midodrine before dialysis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of dialysis fluid (citrate-based vs acetate-based) to see which better helps protect blood pressure during intermittent dialysis. It may help people in intensive care who are at risk of dialysis-related low blood pressure.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during hemodialysis and how much fluid is removed, to see what approach works best for controlling blood pressure. It may help dialysis patients whose blood pressure is often high before or after treatment.
This trial tests if a special tool can predict and prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during dialysis in ICU patients with kidney problems. It might help make dialysis safer and more comfortable.
This Phase 3 trial tests a medicine that blocks a body signal (bradykinin) to help prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during hemodialysis. If you often get “intradialytic hypotension,” this study may help you dialyze more safely.
This study tests if a Chinese herbal medicine can help reduce sudden drops in blood pressure during dialysis. If you often feel dizzy or need extra fluids during dialysis, this trial might help prevent those episodes.
This study uses an ultrasound to check how much your main vein (inferior vena cava) collapses during dialysis. It aims to see if this measurement can help predict drops in blood pressure during treatment, so doctors can better manage your dialysis sessions.
