Improving mineral balance in dialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special type of dialysis fluid with a higher amount of a mineral buffer (bicarbonate) to see if it helps keep minerals more balanced in your blood. It may improve how your body handles calcium and other minerals during dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been on dialysis for at least 3 months.
- You receive dialysis three times a week, either hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration.
- Your dialysis fluid has a calcium level of 1.25 mmol/l (your care team can confirm this).
- You are not planning a kidney transplant from a living donor during the study.
- You have not taken certain bone medications (bisphosphonates or denosumab) recently.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests if adjusting the salt (sodium) in your dialysis fluid can improve your health. It is for people on dialysis who have trouble with too much fluid gain or high blood pressure between sessions.
This trial studies whether using a dialysis fluid with a different bicarbonate level can help people with long-term kidney failure treated with regular hemodialysis. If you qualify, you may be assigned to receive a specific bicarbonate concentration during your dialysis sessions.
This study looks at how different types of dialysis fluid affect calcium buildup in the blood vessels of people with kidney disease on hemodialysis. It may help improve heart health for dialysis patients.
This trial compares two ways to correct low bicarbonate levels in people on hemodialysis: taking a sodium bicarbonate pill versus increasing the bicarbonate in the dialysis fluid. It aims to see which method better improves your acid balance and overall well-being.
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 compares two different strengths of a chemical (bicarbonate) used in your dialysis fluid. The goal is to see which one is better for your health, and the results could help doctors choose the best settings for all patients.
