Blood volume monitoring for dialysis patients with fluid overload
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a device that monitors blood volume during dialysis can help manage fluid overload and reduce hospital readmissions for patients with kidney failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on long-term dialysis for kidney failure (maintenance hemodialysis).
- You are currently in the hospital at Massachusetts General Hospital or Brigham and Women's Hospital for fluid overload.
- You have had at least one dialysis session during this hospital stay.
- You have signs of fluid overload, like swelling, shortness of breath, or fluid in the lungs.
- You do not have acute kidney injury (sudden kidney failure) or liver cirrhosis.

This study checks for high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) in people on hemodialysis for kidney failure. It uses special tests to measure fluid levels and heart function, aiming to better assess and manage this condition.
This study tests whether removing extra fluid during your regular dialysis sessions can help lower blood pressure and reduce fluid buildup. If you have kidney failure and are on hemodialysis, this could improve your heart health and well-being.
This study compares the effectiveness and resource use of remote patient monitoring across different dialysis methods for people with end-stage renal disease. It aims to see if remote monitoring can improve care and outcomes.
This study tests how well doctors can monitor your circulation (blood flow) while they carefully cause a temporary, controlled drop in blood volume. It may help improve monitoring methods in future medical situations.
This trial tests a special type of ultrasound placed inside a blood vessel to better understand problems with dialysis access. It may help doctors find the cause of access malfunction during your diagnostic fistulogram.
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.
