Using one dialysis bag to check your PD adequacy
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is testing a way to measure how well your dialysis is working by checking the fluid from just one of your daily exchanges, rather than collecting it all day. If you're on peritoneal dialysis, you might help find a simpler method to check your treatment's effectiveness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 14 years of age or older.
- You must have been on peritoneal dialysis (PD) for at least one month.
- You must not have had peritonitis (a belly infection), a serious infection, or acute heart failure in the past month.
- You must not have fluid buildup in your belly from other causes (spontaneous ascites).
- You must be able to collect all dialysis fluid that drains out during the study day.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form agreeing to take part.

This study is testing a new computer tool that helps doctors see how well peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney treatment done at home) removes waste from your body. It may help make your dialysis more effective.
This study watches how well a certain method (percutaneous) works for placing a peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter, which is a soft tube used for a type of kidney dialysis. By tracking patients’ experiences before and after the procedure, the study aims to improve care for people with kidney failure.
This trial studies a type of peritoneal dialysis using a special fluid called icodextrin once a day. It may help people who still make a good amount of urine to remove extra fluid more easily.
This study tests a new sensor system that can predict fluid overload (congestion) in people on peritoneal dialysis. It may help you and your care team spot problems early so you can avoid hospital visits.
This trial tests a new device called WEAKID for people on peritoneal dialysis. It aims to see if the device is safe to use. Participants must have been on PD for at least 3 months and have no recent infections or catheter problems.
This study looks at improving how well dialysis removes waste from the blood and uses water in children. It may help make treatments more effective and efficient.
