A blood test for belly lining scarring in peritoneal dialysis

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)Peritoneal FibrosisUltrafiltration Failure

Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.

This study looks at a protein called DKK3 in the fluid that drains from your belly during peritoneal dialysis. The goal is to see if this protein can help predict early scarring (fibrosis) of the belly lining, so doctors can monitor and treat problems sooner.

A tool to measure how well peritoneal dialysis works

This study is testing a new computer tool that helps doctors see how well peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney treatment done at home) removes waste from your body. It may help make your dialysis more effective.

Glucose monitoring for diabetes patients on peritoneal dialysis

This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks blood sugar levels throughout the day) can help improve diabetes control in people who are on peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney dialysis done at home). It aims to see if this technology leads to better health outcomes.

Testing a dye to find fluid leaks in the chest

This study tests a simple dye test to see if fluid leaking from the chest into the belly can be detected. It is for people who are already having fluid removed from around their lungs, and the test uses a small extra sample of that fluid.
