Using a finger sensor to predict low blood pressure during dialysis
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-invasive finger sensor (PVI) can predict when blood pressure drops during dialysis. If successful, it could help prevent dangerous low blood pressure episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have end-stage kidney disease and have been on dialysis for at least 3 months.
- You are willing to follow the study procedures and sign a consent form.
- You do not have serious irregular heartbeats or major blood vessel problems.
- You do not have swelling, skin issues, or other conditions that prevent the finger sensor from working.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at whether an ultrasound of the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) can help predict drops in blood pressure during dialysis. It may help doctors find people at risk for low blood pressure during 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 study uses an ultrasound of the heart to predict if a patient's blood pressure will drop dangerously when starting a type of kidney dialysis called continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF). The goal is to help doctors prepare and prevent complications.
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 study tests a device that uses light to check the health of your AV access (the blood vessel connection used for dialysis) without touching it. It may help doctors spot problems early.
