This study tests a new device called the Catheter Caps Case (C3) for dialysis patients. The goal is to see if it is more comfortable and easier to use than the usual gauze and tape. Ten adults with a dialysis catheter will try the device for 15 minutes, and researchers will measu…

This study follows 96 people with end-stage kidney disease who need a brachiocephalic fistula for dialysis. Researchers collect data from exams, blood tests, and imaging to track changes in the vein over time. The goal is to learn what causes cephalic arch stenosis, a common narr…

This study looks at whether advanced monitoring devices can accurately measure blood thickness (hematocrit) and oxygen levels during continuous dialysis in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury or end-stage kidney failure. About 30 adults in the intensive care unit wil…

This study looks at whether high-intensity cycling during hemodialysis can protect the heart from damage that dialysis sometimes causes. Fifteen adults on dialysis will exercise at different intensities during their sessions. Researchers will use echocardiograms to measure heart …

This pilot study tests a program that screens older dialysis patients for common age-related problems like falls, memory trouble, and medication issues. A geriatrics team then gives personalized recommendations to the dialysis clinic. The goal is to see if this approach is practi…
