New hope for dialysis patients with stubborn high blood pressure?

NCT ID NCT06556407

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses ultrasound to calm overactive kidney nerves, in 12 dialysis patients with hard-to-treat high blood pressure. The goal is to see if it safely lowers blood pressure over 3 to 6 months. It is a small, early-stage trial with no comparison group.

Active substance
ultrasound-based renal denervation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to control blood pressure in dialysis patients who don't respond to medications.
