NCT ID NCT07208513

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at fluid from peritoneal dialysis to find biological markers that could signal peritoneal fibrosis, a common complication. Researchers will analyze genetic material and metabolites from 55 participants, including dialysis patients and healthy controls. The goal is to develop a way to detect fibrosis earlier, potentially improving patient care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a simple test to detect peritoneal fibrosis early in dialysis patients, helping doctors adjust treatment sooner.

What could go wrong

This is an early observational study with only 55 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients. It aims to find clues, not prove a treatment.
