Dialysis fluid and blood vessel health in kidney disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the type of fluid used during dialysis might affect calcium buildup in your blood vessels, which can be a problem for people on long-term dialysis. If you're on dialysis and stable, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have been on dialysis (hemodialysis) for at least 3 months
- Your dialysis access (the place where needles go) works well and you are stable
- You make very little urine (less than 250 mL per day)
- You don't have serious infections, cancer, or other active illnesses

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 trial tests two types of dialysis filters (medium cut-off and high-flux) to see which one better manages mineral and bone problems common in people on hemodialysis. It may help find a way to improve bone health and mineral balance.
This study compares different patterns of continuous kidney dialysis (called CRRT) to see how they affect calcium levels in the blood when using a citrate-based blood thinner. It may help find the safest way to manage calcium during treatment.
This study tests whether giving amino acids during dialysis can help reduce stiffness in blood vessels for people with advanced kidney disease. It aims to improve heart health in patients on long-term dialysis.
This study tests a change in dialysis fluid to help patients on hemodialysis better manage their mineral levels, which may reduce bone and heart problems.
This study looks at how quickly fluid is removed during dialysis affects the heart. It may help find safer ways to manage fluid removal for people on hemodialysis.
