Amino acid therapy for blood vessel stiffness in kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving amino acids during dialysis can help reduce stiffness in blood vessels for people with advanced kidney disease. It aims to improve heart health in patients on long-term dialysis.

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.
This trial is testing whether giving amino acids after heart surgery can help prevent kidney injury in children at high risk. If it works, it could offer a simple way to protect kidney function during recovery.
This study tests whether giving amino acids (proteins that help your body heal) through a vein can help people on ECMO recover faster. It's for adults in the ICU who've just started ECMO and don't have severe kidney problems.
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 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.
This study looks at how the type of fluid used during dialysis might affect calcium buildup in your blood vessels, which can be a problem for people on long-term dialysis. If you're on dialysis and stable, you may be able to join.
