Carotid ultrasound to predict low blood pressure during dialysis
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
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 renal disease (kidney failure).
- You have been on regular dialysis for at least 3 months.
- You do not have a major blockage in your carotid artery (the main artery in your neck).
- You are not on blood pressure support drugs or have unstable blood pressure.
- You do not have serious heart rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.

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 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.
This study uses ultrasound imaging of the heart to predict which patients may have sudden drops in blood pressure when starting a type of dialysis called CVVHDF. The goal is to help doctors better manage patients during this procedure, which may reduce complications.
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 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 checks for high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) in people on hemodialysis for kidney failure. It uses special tests to measure fluid levels and heart function, aiming to better assess and manage this condition.
