Cooling dialysis fluid to protect thinking skills
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if cooling the fluid used during dialysis can help protect memory and thinking in people receiving hemodialysis. If it works, it could be a simple way to prevent cognitive decline.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You receive hemodialysis at a center at least 3 times a week.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are able to understand and agree to take part.
- You do not have a formal diagnosis of dementia.
- You are not pregnant.

This study measures how well a dialysis method called haemodiafiltration removes waste products from the blood, tracks how patients feel, and monitors sodium balance. It aims to improve treatment for people with kidney failure on dialysis.
This trial tests two methods to reduce drops in blood pressure during dialysis: cooling the dialysis fluid or changing the sodium levels. It may help people who often have low blood pressure during treatment.
This study tests a new medicine called AV-001 to see if it can protect the brain from damage caused by hemodialysis. If you qualify, you may help find a way to reduce thinking and memory problems linked to dialysis.
This study compares two types of mental exercises (problem-solving and memory training) for people on dialysis. It aims to see which one helps with thinking and memory, and may improve your daily life.
This study tests whether changing the salt (sodium) level in dialysis fluid can reduce problems in blood vessels. It is done in adult dialysis centers to compare outcomes between two sodium levels.
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodiafiltration and standard hemodialysis) to see which works better for older adults with kidney failure. You may be eligible if you are over 84, have been on dialysis for at least 3 months, and are generally healthy enough to participate.
