Studying hidden tuberculosis in hemodialysis patients
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how common latent tuberculosis (a silent TB infection without symptoms) is in people who are on hemodialysis. By joining, you help doctors understand and screen for this hidden infection in kidney patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are currently on regular hemodialysis.
- You are willing and able to give your informed consent.
- You do not have active tuberculosis (TB).

This study tests a new type of lab test to find TB bacteria more accurately. It is for people who are being checked for latent (hidden) TB infection, or who have just been diagnosed with active TB. The goal is to see if the new test can help doctors diagnose TB better and faster.
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis (TB), whether they have inactive “latent” TB or active TB. It helps researchers better understand TB’s natural course and may improve future testing and care by allowing collection and storage of samples.
This study is looking at how a simple blood test can help monitor tuberculosis (TB) treatment. It may help doctors know sooner if the treatment is working.
This trial is looking for adults who might have tuberculosis, a related infection called non-tubercular mycobacteriosis, or a hidden (latent) tuberculosis infection. You will provide a sample for testing, and the study will help doctors understand and manage these infections better.
This study looks at immune system blood tests in adults being treated for active tuberculosis and/or latent tuberculosis infection. The goal is to see if these “immune biomarkers” can help guide or improve tuberculosis management.
This trial checks hospital workers and certain medical students to see how many have “latent TB,” meaning TB bacteria in the body that may not cause symptoms. The goal is to better understand who might need follow-up and prevention.
