Gut health supplement study for dialysis patients
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special blend of probiotics and prebiotics (called a synbiotic) can improve gut health and reduce harmful waste products in the blood for people on hemodialysis.

This study tests whether taking a special mix of friendly bacteria and prebiotics (called synbiotics) can help improve gut health in people on hemodialysis. It may reduce inflammation and other complications related to kidney disease.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement can slow down the decline of kidney function in people with moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 3 and 4). If you have stable kidney disease and are not already taking probiotics, joining this study could help researchers find a new way to protect your kidneys.
This trial studies an oral product (a “uremic toxin” absorber) plus probiotics to help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. It may help by lowering harmful gut-related substances that can build up when kidney function is reduced.
This study tests whether taking probiotics or synbiotics (supplements that support gut health) can improve nutritional status in people on regular hemodialysis. It may help you feel better and stay stronger if you are on dialysis.
This trial tests whether taking probiotic and prebiotic supplements can improve gut health in people receiving peritoneal dialysis at home. It may help with digestion and overall well-being.
This study tests whether taking a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) can help people with kidney failure on dialysis respond better to erythropoietin, a medicine that treats anemia (low red blood cells). If the probiotic works, it could reduce the need for high doses of this medicine and improve your energy levels.
