Salt and water in chronic kidney disease
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how salt builds up in the skin of people with chronic kidney disease. It involves different groups testing either sodium intake, sodium excretion, or water intake to see how these affect blood pressure and kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have chronic kidney disease with a GFR between 15 and 60.
- Your blood pressure and diuretic medications must have been stable for the past 6 weeks.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You cannot be on dialysis or expecting a kidney transplant within 3 months.
- You cannot have certain other conditions like nephrotic syndrome or recent glomerulonephritis.
- You must not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.

This study asks people to report how much salt they eat so researchers can better understand sodium intake in people with high blood pressure and/or advanced kidney disease. It may help improve how salt-related health risks are assessed, though it mainly involves questionnaires and scheduled participation.
This study looks at how the body handles salt (sodium) in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. If you join, researchers will test how your body responds to changes in fluids and salt levels.
This study looks at how different types of dialysis affect salt stored in your tissues and your small blood vessels. It may help doctors understand how to improve dialysis treatments.
This study checks how well diuretics (water pills) work in people with moderate chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand how to better treat fluid buildup in patients.
This study tests whether changing the amount of salt in your dialysis fluid can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health. If you are on dialysis, this could be a way to feel better and reduce heart risks.
This study uses MRI scans to measure how much salt (sodium) builds up in soft tissues in people with kidney disease and related heart conditions. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the body and how treatment or changes in care affect salt buildup.
