Automated dialysis for small children with kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests how well a specific automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) treatment works and how tolerable it is for children with kidney failure. It is designed for small children weighing 20 kg or less who need or already use APD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have kidney failure and be receiving or planning to receive automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), a machine that cleans the blood while sleeping.
- Your child must weigh 20 kilograms (44 pounds) or less.
- Your child must not have had a belly infection or an infection at the dialysis catheter site in the last 4 weeks.
- Your child must not have taken part in another interventional clinical study in the last 30 days.
