Testing extra fluid removal during dialysis for high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been receiving dialysis three times per week at a dialysis center for at least 4 weeks
- You have high blood pressure (systolic ≥140 mmHg on three checks) or symptoms of fluid buildup, like shortness of breath or swelling
- You are not planning to switch to home dialysis or get a kidney transplant in the next 3 months
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or major bleeding in the past 90 days
- You are able to complete a 6-minute walk test and a 24-hour blood pressure monitor
- You are not on chemotherapy or radiation, and do not have cirrhosis with fluid in your belly

This trial tests whether a faster rate of fluid removal during dialysis can help hospitalized patients with end-stage kidney disease who have severe fluid buildup. It aims to reduce fluid congestion and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during hemodialysis and how much fluid is removed, to see what approach works best for controlling blood pressure. It may help dialysis patients whose blood pressure is often high before or after treatment.
This study looks at how quickly fluid is removed during dialysis affects the heart. It may help find safer ways to manage fluid removal for people on hemodialysis.
This trial tests whether adding a special blood-filtering device (hemoadsorption) to your regular dialysis treatment can reduce uncomfortable symptoms caused by kidney failure, like fatigue or itching. Researchers will track how you feel over time compared to standard dialysis alone.
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.
This trial tests a wearable device that may help remove extra fluid during or between dialysis sessions. It is for people on thrice-weekly hemodialysis who have trouble reaching their dry weight or have high fluid gains between treatments.
