Dialysis bicarbonate levels under scrutiny: can lower doses protect heart?
NCT ID NCT05814146
First seen Nov 24, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looks at whether using a lower amount of bicarbonate (a chemical that balances acid in the blood) during dialysis is better for the heart than the usual higher amount. About 141 adults on long-term dialysis who are in the hospital will be randomly assigned to receive either lower or higher bicarbonate during their dialysis sessions. Researchers will track heart rhythm changes and symptoms to see which approach is safer.
