Summary
This study tests a drug called DefenCath to see if it can prevent serious bloodstream infections in children with kidney failure who need dialysis through a tube (catheter). About 36 kids from birth to 17 years old will take part. Half will get DefenCath and half will get the usual care, and researchers will compare how long it takes for an infection to happen.
