Does changing dialysis sodium improve blood pressure?
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial explores whether changing the amount of salt (sodium) in your dialysis fluid can help control your blood pressure and improve the health of your blood vessels. It is for people who are already stable on in-center hemodialysis 3 times a week.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if adjusting the salt (sodium) in your dialysis fluid can improve your health. It is for people on dialysis who have trouble with too much fluid gain or high blood pressure between sessions.
This study tests whether changing the salt (sodium) level in dialysis fluid can reduce problems in blood vessels. It is done in adult dialysis centers to compare outcomes between two sodium levels.
This trial tests different blood pressure goals for people receiving dialysis at a center. It aims to find which target is safest and most effective for managing blood pressure during treatment.
This study looks at how different types of dialysis affect salt stored in your tissues and your small blood vessels. It may help doctors understand how to improve dialysis treatments.
This trial tests whether removing extra fluid during your regular dialysis sessions can help lower high blood pressure and reduce symptoms of fluid buildup. You'll continue your normal three-times-a-week dialysis but with adjusted fluid removal amounts.
This trial is testing whether taking sodium bicarbonate (a common ingredient in baking soda) during dialysis can help control a sudden rise in blood pressure that some people experience during their treatment. If you have this type of blood pressure increase, this study may offer a way to manage it.
