Chilled dialysis may shield brain health in kidney patients
NCT ID NCT07377500
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether cooling the dialysis fluid slightly can help preserve memory and thinking in people with kidney failure who need hemodialysis. Many patients on dialysis experience a decline in brain function, possibly due to drops in blood flow during treatment. The trial will randomly assign 356 adults to standard or cooled dialysis and compare their cognitive abilities after one year.
