HYPERKALEMIA

This study tests a medicine called patiromer to see if it safely lowers high potassium levels in children under 12. High potassium can be harmful, especially for kids with kidney problems. The study will check how well the medicine works and monitor for side effects in 32 childre…

This study tests whether adding urea to the dialysis fluid can prevent dialysis disequilibrium syndrome — a set of neurological symptoms like headache, confusion, and seizures — in people with kidney failure who need urgent dialysis for severe electrolyte problems. Researchers wi…

This study tests whether people with chronic kidney disease can safely eat potassium-rich fruits and vegetables instead of following the usual low-potassium diet. Thirty participants will receive home-delivered groceries with either high- or low-potassium produce in a random orde…

This study tests whether patiromer, a drug that lowers potassium, allows people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease to safely increase their dose of a common blood pressure medication (irbesartan). The goal is to see if this leads to better kidney protection and lower …

This study tests a new medicine called WS016 for people with high potassium levels (hyperkalemia). The trial has two parts: a short phase to quickly lower potassium, followed by a month-long phase to keep it in a safe range. About 420 adults with moderately high potassium will ta…

This study tests a smartphone app that uses ECG readings to detect dangerously high potassium levels in people with chronic kidney disease. About 50 adults will use the app during clinic visits or at home for up to four weeks. The goal is to see how accurate, easy-to-use, and rel…

This study looks at data from over 6,000 Brazilian patients with heart failure, kidney disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure to understand how common high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) are and how doctors manage it. By analyzing medical records, researchers hope to identify…
