Lowering water flow during dialysis: safe or not?
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether lowering the water flow rate during dialysis can still provide good treatment while saving water. If you are on a stable dialysis schedule and produce little urine, this trial may be relevant to you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have been on dialysis for more than 3 months

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.
This trial tests whether removing extra fluid during your regular dialysis sessions can help lower high blood pressure and reduce symptoms of fluid buildup. You'll continue your normal three-times-a-week dialysis but with adjusted fluid removal amounts.
This study looks at how different types of dialysis affect salt stored in your tissues and your small blood vessels. It may help doctors understand how to improve dialysis treatments.
This study looks at how quickly fluid is removed during dialysis affects the heart. It may help find safer ways to manage fluid removal for people on hemodialysis.
This study tests whether changing the salt (sodium) level in dialysis fluid can reduce problems in blood vessels. It is done in adult dialysis centers to compare outcomes between two sodium levels.
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.
