Reducing extra fluid during dialysis to improve blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether removing extra fluid during your regular dialysis sessions can help lower blood pressure and reduce fluid buildup. If you have kidney failure and are on hemodialysis, this could improve your heart health and well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You receive hemodialysis three times a week and have been for at least 4 weeks
- You have signs of too much fluid in your body, such as high blood pressure or congestion symptoms (like shortness of breath or swelling)
- You have not had a major heart or bleeding event in the last 90 days
- You are not scheduled for a kidney transplant or planning to switch to home dialysis soon
- You are able to walk and do not rely on a wheelchair for mobility

This study compares two advanced dialysis methods to see which one removes waste products from the blood better. If you are already on a type of dialysis called expanded hemodialysis, you might be able to join.
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 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 quickly fluid is removed during dialysis affects the heart. It may help find safer ways to manage fluid removal for people on hemodialysis.
This study tests whether changing the amount of salt in your dialysis fluid can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health. If you are on dialysis, this could be a way to feel better and reduce heart risks.
This study tests whether doing light resistance exercises or aerobic exercises during your dialysis sessions can help improve your blood pressure and heart health. It may help reduce the sudden drops in blood pressure that some people experience during dialysis.
