Summary

This study tests a special scale that measures heart signals and fluid levels in people on peritoneal dialysis for kidney failure. The goal is to see if the scale can warn patients and doctors early when fluid overload is about to happen, so they can take action before an emergency visit or hospital stay. About 125 adults will use the scale at home for up to 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Bodyport Cardiac Scale (a smart scale that measures heart and fluid status)
What this could lead to: If it works, this scale could help people on peritoneal dialysis avoid dangerous fluid buildup and reduce emergency hospital visits.
What could go wrong: This is an early study with only 125 participants. The scale may not accurately predict problems for everyone, and false alerts could cause unnecessary worry.
