Heart and Blood Vessel Changes in Dialysis Patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how kidney failure affects the small blood vessels and heart muscle in people on dialysis. Researchers want to understand how common these changes are and may use heart imaging and special medications to test how your blood vessels work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels work together during dialysis. It may help doctors understand why some patients have heart problems during treatment.
This study looks at new ways to check heart health in people with kidney disease. Researchers want to find out if special blood tests can help predict heart problems in patients on dialysis or those with earlier stage kidney disease.
This study looks at how well the heart's pumping and relaxing function works in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It may help doctors understand heart problems better in this group.
This study looks at heart and bone health in people on dialysis compared to healthy volunteers. If you are on dialysis for at least 6 months, or if you are healthy with no kidney issues, you may be able to join.
This trial checks whether a new kind of heart MRI (done without contrast dye) can help doctors see heart changes in people receiving hemodialysis. It may help improve how heart health is measured in dialysis care, especially for people with limited time.
This study checks if tiny blood vessel problems in the heart affect how well the heart muscle recovers after being weak. It uses special imaging during a routine heart catheterization to look at these small vessels.
