First seen Jun 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether a special form of calcium and magnesium (effervescent calcium-magnesium citrate) can slow down harmful calcium buildup in the heart and blood vessels of people with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis. About 269 adults will take either this supplement or a standard calcium treatment for up to several years. The goal is to see if the new supplement reduces heart damage and improves bone health compared to the usual care.
