Medicine for preventing catheter problems in peritoneal dialysis
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a laxative medicine called bisacodyl to see if it helps prevent problems with the tube used for peritoneal dialysis. If you use peritoneal dialysis, this might help keep your treatment working smoothly.

This study tests whether a special dialysis fluid called icodextrin can help people on a low-dose form of peritoneal dialysis stay on that low dose longer before needing a full dose. It is for adults who still make some urine and can do dialysis at home.
This trial tests whether taking probiotic and prebiotic supplements can improve gut health in people receiving peritoneal dialysis at home. It may help with digestion and overall well-being.
This study tests whether a natural fiber supplement called agave inulin can help with constipation and improve quality of life for people who have just started peritoneal dialysis for kidney failure.
This trial tests if canagliflozin, a diabetes medicine, helps remove extra fluid and reduce scarring in people on peritoneal dialysis (home-based dialysis). It may improve your dialysis results and protect your belly lining.
This trial compares two different laxatives (prucalopride and bisacodyl) to see which one works better for cleaning out your bowels before a colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, this study may help improve the experience and make the procedure more effective.
This study tests a special type of dialysis fluid with a higher amount of a mineral buffer (bicarbonate) to see if it helps keep minerals more balanced in your blood. It may improve how your body handles calcium and other minerals during dialysis.
