Sugar solution tested to stop dangerous dips during dialysis

NCT ID NCT04428372

Summary

This study tested whether a sugar-based solution called mannitol could help patients who regularly experience low blood pressure and symptoms during dialysis. Thirty-one adults on long-term dialysis received either mannitol or a placebo during their treatments over four weeks. Researchers compared how patients felt and how much their blood pressure dropped to see if mannitol made a difference.
