Heart and bone health in dialysis patients vs. healthy
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 80
- For dialysis patients: been on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis for at least 6 months
- For healthy volunteers: no known kidney disease, and good kidney function
- Able to do the study tests (like a pulse check, body composition, and answering questionnaires)
- Willing to sign a consent form

This trial tests two types of dialysis filters (medium cut-off and high-flux) to see which one better manages mineral and bone problems common in people on hemodialysis. It may help find a way to improve bone health and mineral balance.
This study tests whether adding exercise during your dialysis sessions can improve your physical fitness, body composition, and survival. If you are on hemodialysis and meet the health criteria, you would either exercise while on the machine or receive standard care.
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 physical activity and heart health are linked in people with chronic kidney disease who are on peritoneal dialysis. It uses a small wearable monitor to track your movement so researchers can learn more about your risks.
This study looks at heart (cardiovascular) risk factors in people who are just starting dialysis for chronic kidney failure. It may help doctors better understand what heart-related issues to watch for early during dialysis.
This study looks at how blood flow to the kidneys changes during hemodialysis in people who have just started dialysis. It may help doctors understand how to better protect kidney function.
