Baking soda for blood pressure rises during dialysis
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking sodium bicarbonate (a common food ingredient) before or during dialysis can help control blood pressure spikes that happen during treatment. It might help you if you experience these blood pressure rises.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on dialysis for more than 3 months.
- You must have dialysis three times a week.
- Your blood pressure usually goes up by more than 10 mmHg during dialysis.
- You must not have severe heart failure or have had a heart attack recently.
- You must not be planning a kidney transplant within the next 3 months.

This study tests whether changing the amount of salt in your dialysis fluid can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health. If you are on dialysis, this could be a way to feel better and reduce heart risks.
This trial compares two ways to correct low bicarbonate levels in people on hemodialysis: taking a sodium bicarbonate pill versus increasing the bicarbonate in the dialysis fluid. It aims to see which method better improves your acid balance and overall well-being.
This trial studies whether using a dialysis fluid with a different bicarbonate level can help people with long-term kidney failure treated with regular hemodialysis. If you qualify, you may be assigned to receive a specific bicarbonate concentration during your dialysis sessions.
This trial studies whether taking sodium bicarbonate changes “energy” in cells and improves metabolic acidosis (an acid build-up) in people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. You may be able to join if your kidney function and blood bicarbonate levels fit their targets and you meet safety rules.
This study is looking at why some people develop high blood pressure during their dialysis sessions. Your participation could help doctors better manage this condition in the future.
This study tests different blood pressure goals for people getting dialysis at a center. It aims to find which blood pressure target is safer and better for kidney dialysis patients.
