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 study looks at how well a specific ultrasound method can measure your body's fluid levels. It may help doctors better assess your health, especially if you have conditions that affect your fluid balance.
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 study uses ultrasound pictures of a large neck vein to help doctors place a central line and estimate the pressure inside the vein. It may improve the safety and accuracy of placing the line and reduce the need for more invasive pressure measurements.
This study uses ultrasound imaging of the heart to predict which patients may have sudden drops in blood pressure when starting a type of dialysis called CVVHDF. The goal is to help doctors better manage patients during this procedure, which may reduce complications.
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
