Water pills tested in dialysis patients – but study stops early

NCT ID NCT05915286

First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026

Summary

This small pilot study tested two types of water pills (furosemide and chlorthalidone) in people on dialysis who still make some urine. The goal was to see if these medications could help preserve the little kidney function they have left, increase urine output, and reduce weight gain between dialysis sessions. Only 2 people enrolled before the study was stopped, so no firm conclusions can be drawn.
