Dialysis potassium adjustment trial for heart health
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether adjusting the amount of potassium in your dialysis fluid can help prevent heart problems and other health issues. If you are on in-center dialysis three times a week, this study may help find a safer way to manage your potassium levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 21 years old
- You have been on dialysis in a center 3 times a week for at least 3 months
- Your dialysis sessions are 15 hours or less per week
- Your doctor has not said you have a year or less to live
- You are not planning to get a kidney transplant, switch to home dialysis, or change dialysis centers within the next 6 months

This study tests a potassium-containing salt substitute to see if it can be used safely for people on regular dialysis for kidney failure. You may be eligible if you already receive outpatient hemodialysis and meet several health and medication requirements.
This study tests whether starting dialysis at twice a week, instead of the usual three times, is safe and effective for people who still have some kidney function. If the kidneys still make urine and clear waste, being on dialysis less often may maintain that function longer.
This study tests whether changing the salt (sodium) level in dialysis fluid can reduce problems in blood vessels. It is done in adult dialysis centers to compare outcomes between two sodium levels.
This study tests whether eating a higher-potassium diet is safe and helpful for people with early-to-moderate kidney failure who are not yet on dialysis. You may be asked to follow a specific diet plan and have blood tests to monitor potassium and other health markers.
This study looks at whether people on hemodialysis can safely eat more potassium-rich foods instead of following the usual low-potassium diet. It aims to improve quality of life and possibly adjust dietary restrictions.
This trial tests whether managing potassium levels better can protect the heart in people on long-term dialysis. It aims to show how reducing ups and downs in potassium might lower heart risks.
