Timing of dialysis before surgery for kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the best timing for dialysis before planned surgery in people with kidney failure. It aims to find out if changing when you have dialysis can improve recovery and reduce complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on hemodialysis for kidney failure and have been for at least 3 months.
- Your dialysis schedule has been steady (about 2.5 to 3.5 sessions per week) for the last month.
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) surgery at Stanford Health Care, like a dialysis access procedure or leg artery surgery.
- You are willing to follow the study's procedures and timing for dialysis before and after surgery.
- You are not pregnant, a prisoner, or under 18 years old.

This study tests whether having dialysis two times a week instead of three is safe and better for people aged 70 and older with kidney failure. If you qualify, you might get more time between treatments and possibly a better quality of life.
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 compares doing physical therapy during your dialysis session versus right before it. It looks at which timing might work better for people on hemodialysis.
This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
This trial compares a newer type of dialysis called hemodiafiltration with standard hemodialysis to see if it improves certain health measures in people with end-stage kidney disease. It may help determine which method works better for long-term treatment.
This study tests whether starting dialysis earlier in the intensive care unit helps people with cardiogenic shock (when the heart cannot pump enough blood) who also have too much fluid in their body. It aims to see if early kidney support improves recovery compared to waiting.
