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 looks at how the electrical activity of the heart (which controls your heartbeat) changes during and after your regular dialysis sessions. The goal is to see if dialysis affects your heart's rhythm, which can help doctors monitor and prevent heart problems in people on dialysis.
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 looks at how heart surgery affects kidney function. It may help doctors better protect the kidneys during and after surgery.
This study compares two methods for removing waste products from the blood in people who need dialysis. It aims to see whether one method works better or is safer during extra-renal (outside the body) blood purification.
