Survey on improving care during dialysis method changes
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study asks patients and their caregivers to share their experiences with peritoneal dialysis and, if relevant, the switch to hemodialysis. The goal is to understand what works well and what could be improved in the care of people at high risk of needing to change dialysis methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This research study asks patients with advanced kidney disease about their preferences for different dialysis treatment options before starting treatment. Your feedback helps doctors understand what matters most to patients when choosing how to manage their kidney disease.
This study watches how well a certain method (percutaneous) works for placing a peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter, which is a soft tube used for a type of kidney dialysis. By tracking patients’ experiences before and after the procedure, the study aims to improve care for people with kidney failure.
This trial compares transitioning to home dialysis versus in-center dialysis for people with advanced kidney disease. It aims to find which option leads to better outcomes and quality of life.
This trial tests a remote monitoring system for people on automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) at home. It aims to see if this technology improves quality of life and mental health.
This study tests a new feature of a home dialysis machine called FlexPoint that may allow you to fill your belly with more or less fluid depending on your needs. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe for people doing peritoneal dialysis at home.
