D-dimer and CRP for Heart Risk in Dialysis Patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at two blood tests (D-dimer and CRP) to see if they can help predict heart risks in people on long-term dialysis. It may help doctors better understand your heart health and prevent future problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been on regular hemodialysis (kidney dialysis) for at least 3 months.
- You are willing to give your permission (informed consent) to take part.
- You may have no known heart or blood vessel disease, or you may have confirmed heart disease (like a heart attack, stroke, or blocked arteries).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether missing dialysis sessions raises the chance of having a heart problem in the short term. It may help people on regular dialysis understand how important it is to attend every session.
This study looks at how chronic kidney disease (long-term kidney damage) affects heart rhythm. Researchers will monitor your heart to understand these patterns better, which may help doctors treat kidney disease patients more effectively.
This study looks at new ways to check heart health in people with kidney disease. Researchers want to find out if special blood tests can help predict heart problems in patients on dialysis or those with earlier stage kidney disease.
This study looks at heart and bone health in people on dialysis compared to healthy volunteers. If you are on dialysis for at least 6 months, or if you are healthy with no kidney issues, you may be able to join.
This study looks at heart (cardiovascular) risk factors in people who are just starting dialysis for chronic kidney failure. It may help doctors better understand what heart-related issues to watch for early during dialysis.
This study looks at how a simple questionnaire (called KCCQ) about your heart health and quality of life can help predict future heart risks for people on dialysis. Researchers want to see if your answers to this questionnaire can help doctors take better care of you.
