Ultrasound of neck vein for fluid levels in dialysis
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to check the fluid levels in people on long-term dialysis. It aims to see if this can help doctors better adjust their treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on chronic (long-term) dialysis.
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.
- You are not on a dialysis treatment that does not remove fluid.

This trial uses ultrasound to check fluid levels in the body by looking at a large vein called the IVC. It may help doctors decide if you need more or less fluids.
This study checks whether stable dialysis patients have high blood pressure in their lungs. It uses a special fluid status assessment to look for this condition.
This study uses an ultrasound to check how much your main vein (inferior vena cava) collapses during dialysis. It aims to see if this measurement can help predict drops in blood pressure during treatment, so doctors can better manage your dialysis sessions.
This study uses ultrasound to measure fluid levels in hospitalized patients. It helps doctors understand how well your body is managing fluids, which can guide treatment decisions.
This trial uses ultrasound measurements of the neck blood flow and abdominal vein size to help doctors choose safer fluid treatment for people with acute kidney injury. It may help reduce complications from too little or too much fluid during recovery.
This study uses an ultrasound of the heart to predict if a patient's blood pressure will drop dangerously when starting a type of kidney dialysis called continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF). The goal is to help doctors prepare and prevent complications.
