Chinese herbal medicine for low blood pressure during dialysis
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests if a Chinese herbal medicine can help reduce sudden drops in blood pressure during dialysis. If you often feel dizzy or need extra fluids during dialysis, this trial might help prevent those episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on dialysis for over a year, going three times a week for 3.5 to 4.5 hours each time.
- You must have had low blood pressure (below 90) or needed extra fluids or medication during more than a third of your dialysis sessions recently.

This study tests a traditional Chinese herbal supplement called Guilu Erxian Jiao to see if it can prevent sudden drops in blood pressure during dialysis. If you often feel dizzy or lightheaded during or after dialysis, this treatment might help.
This study compares two ways to adjust dialysis treatment—using cooler fluid or changing salt (sodium) levels—to reduce sudden drops in blood pressure during dialysis. It may help people who often have low blood pressure during their sessions.
This Phase 3 trial tests a medicine that blocks a body signal (bradykinin) to help prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during hemodialysis. If you often get “intradialytic hypotension,” this study may help you dialyze more safely.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during hemodialysis and how much fluid is removed, to see what approach works best for controlling blood pressure. It may help dialysis patients whose blood pressure is often high before or after treatment.
This trial tests if a special tool can predict and prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during dialysis in ICU patients with kidney problems. It might help make dialysis safer and more comfortable.
This study looks at whether an ultrasound of the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) can help predict drops in blood pressure during dialysis. It may help doctors find people at risk for low blood pressure during treatment.
