Could two doses of a dialysis fluid help Kids' hearts and kidneys?

NCT ID NCT07168343

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether using two daily exchanges of a special dialysis fluid called icodextrin can better control fluid buildup and blood pressure in children on chronic peritoneal dialysis. Ten children aged 5-18 will be enrolled. The goal is to see if this approach improves fluid removal and reduces the need for blood pressure medications, while also checking if it adds extra burden on caregivers.

What this could mean

Active substance

icodextrin

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a better way to manage fluid overload and blood pressure in children on dialysis, potentially reducing hospital visits.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early trial with only 10 children. The added exchange may increase caregiver burden and might not improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all children on dialysis.
