Extra dialysis and diet for a better life on dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding an extra dialysis session and a special diet supplement (Ketosteril) can improve health and well-being for people who are just starting in-center hemodialysis. Participation may help you feel better and live better on dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are about to start in-center hemodialysis (a treatment that filters your blood) at the study center in Le Mans, France.
- You are able and willing to provide signed consent to join the study.
- You do not have acute kidney injury (sudden, short-term kidney failure that might get better on its own).
- You are not expected to need a kidney transplant within the next 3 months and your life expectancy is more than 3 months.
- You have no medical conditions or allergies that would make the study treatment unsafe for you (for example, high calcium levels, metabolic disorders, or allergy to Ketosteril ingredients).

This study tests whether giving a protein supplement during dialysis is safe and helps improve nutrition. You take the supplement during your usual dialysis sessions, and it may help you feel stronger and healthier.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrition during your dialysis sessions can help maintain or improve your muscle mass. If you are on long-term hemodialysis, this could potentially help you feel stronger and healthier.
This study tests whether starting dialysis at twice a week, instead of the usual three times, is safe and effective for people who still have some kidney function. If the kidneys still make urine and clear waste, being on dialysis less often may maintain that function longer.
This study tests whether an added dialysis plan can improve health outcomes for adults who are starting hemodialysis (a machine-based form of dialysis). It may help doctors find better ways to support people during their first year of dialysis care.
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 study tests whether adding a pea fibre supplement to your diet can help improve your health while you are on dialysis. It is a simple addition to your routine and may support your overall well-being.
