Understanding High Blood Pressure in the Lungs for Dialysis Patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study investigates why some dialysis patients develop high blood pressure in their lung blood vessels and how it affects their health. Researchers will assess heart function and follow patients over time to better understand this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how to measure the blood pressure in the lungs of people who have chronic kidney disease. It uses both non-invasive (like ultrasound) and invasive (with a tube) methods to find out if they have high blood pressure in the lungs.
This study looks at whether people with certain blood disorders (myeloproliferative neoplasms) have higher rates of high blood pressure in the lungs and reduced right heart function. By using an ultrasound of the heart, researchers hope to learn more about these complications and potentially improve monitoring and care.
This study looks at people who have both liver blood vessel issues and high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to learn more about this condition and how it affects people over time, which may help improve future care.
This study looks at lung tissue from surgery to learn how pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) develops in people with lung disease. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and treat this condition.
This study is tracking people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) over time to see how their condition and quality of life change. By joining, you help doctors better understand the disease and improve care for others like you.
This study checks for high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) in people on hemodialysis for kidney failure. It uses special tests to measure fluid levels and heart function, aiming to better assess and manage this condition.
