Amino acid dialysis fluid for better nutrition
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a special dialysis fluid with amino acids (building blocks of protein) to see if it helps improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who have low protein levels. If you qualify, it may help boost your nutrition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been on peritoneal dialysis for at least 6 months.
- Your albumin level in the blood is low (less than 38 g/L).
- You have not had peritonitis in the last 3 months or been hospitalized in the last month.
- You do not have severe heart, liver, or other major diseases, or cancer, and your doctor thinks you will live more than a year.

This trial tests a special peritoneal dialysis solution with amino acids (protein building blocks) to improve nutrition in people on CAPD who are malnourished. It might help boost your protein levels and overall health.
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
This study tests a special dialysis fluid made with amino acids (protein building blocks) instead of the usual sugar-based fluid. It may help control blood sugar and improve nutrition in people with diabetes on peritoneal dialysis.
This study tests whether giving a protein supplement during dialysis is safe and helps improve nutrition. You take the supplement during your usual dialysis sessions, and it may help you feel stronger and healthier.
This study tests whether giving amino acids directly into the blood during dialysis can reduce stiffness in blood vessels, which is common in kidney failure and can lead to heart problems. If you are on stable dialysis, this treatment might help improve your vascular health.
This trial tests whether adding amino acid supplements during dialysis helps people with kidney failure. It may be an option if your doctor decides you need these supplements.
