MRI scans reveal what happens inside your cells during dialysis
NCT ID NCT03119818
Summary
This study aimed to understand where the phosphate removed during dialysis comes from inside the body. Researchers used a special MRI scanner to measure phosphate and energy (ATP) levels inside the cells of 11 patients with kidney failure during their dialysis treatment. The goal was to gather basic knowledge that might one day help explain why some patients struggle with dialysis and lead to better treatment approaches.
