Breath test to check dialysis quality
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses a simple breath test to check how well dialysis is working for people with kidney failure. It may replace frequent blood draws and make treatment monitoring easier.

This trial tests whether adding a special blood-filtering device (hemoadsorption) to your regular dialysis treatment can reduce uncomfortable symptoms caused by kidney failure, like fatigue or itching. Researchers will track how you feel over time compared to standard dialysis alone.
This study tests if breathing exercises can improve quality of life for people on kidney dialysis. You would do special breathing training using a device called a Breath Booster to help strengthen your breathing muscles.
This study checks whether stable dialysis patients have high blood pressure in their lungs. It uses a special fluid status assessment to look for this condition.
This trial tests a special blood-filtering treatment (hemoperfusion) for people with advanced kidney disease on regular dialysis. It aims to remove harmful substances that standard dialysis may not fully clear.
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodiafiltration and standard hemodialysis) to see which works better for older adults with kidney failure. You may be eligible if you are over 84, have been on dialysis for at least 3 months, and are generally healthy enough to participate.
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.
