Gut Health and Synbiotics in Hemodialysis
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 probiotics (good bacteria) or synbiotics (probiotics plus fiber) can improve the nutritional health of people on dialysis. It may help those who struggle with nutrition while waiting for a kidney transplant.
This study tests whether adding pea fiber to your diet can improve health outcomes in people receiving hemodialysis for kidney disease. Researchers want to see if this natural fiber helps reduce harmful substances in your blood and improves your overall well-being.
This trial tests whether curcumin, a natural compound found in turmeric, can reduce inflammation in people receiving hemodialysis. If you are on dialysis and already take turmeric or antioxidant supplements, this study may help show if curcumin has extra benefits.
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.
