This study tests a new way to do hemodialysis that might remove certain waste products (called protein-bound uremic toxins) more effectively than standard dialysis. It could help people on long-term dialysis feel better and have fewer complications.
This study tests whether taking omega-3 supplements (a type of healthy fat) can help reduce stress on the body and improve nutrition in children who are on regular hemodialysis. If your child fits the age and dialysis requirements and has not taken similar supplements recently, they may be able to join.
This study is looking at whether fish oil supplements can improve the function of 'good' cholesterol (HDL) in people who are on maintenance hemodialysis. If you are a stable dialysis patient, you may be able to join to help researchers understand how fish oil affects heart and blood vessel health.
This study tests whether adding pea fiber to your diet can improve health outcomes in people receiving hemodialysis for kidney disease. Researchers want to see if this natural fiber helps reduce harmful substances in your blood and improves your overall well-being.
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
This trial tests whether curcumin, a natural compound found in turmeric, can reduce inflammation in people receiving hemodialysis. If you are on dialysis and already take turmeric or antioxidant supplements, this study may help show if curcumin has extra benefits.
