HEMODIALYSIS

This study tests whether adding pea fiber to the daily diet of people on dialysis can lower blood levels of harmful waste products called uremic toxins. These toxins build up even with dialysis and are linked to heart problems. Over 8 weeks, 72 adults on dialysis will eat baked g…

This study tests if a citrate-based dialysis fluid with added magnesium can slow or prevent hardening of blood vessels (vascular calcification) in adults on long-term hemodialysis. Researchers will compare this new fluid to standard acetate-based fluid in 80 patients over 12 mont…

This study tests a new wearable device that can gently remove extra fluid from the body between dialysis sessions. Standard dialysis removes fluid quickly, which can damage the heart and brain. The device is meant to take off leftover fluid slowly, reducing those risks. The study…

This study looks at whether walking at home for 8 weeks can reduce symptoms like muscle cramps and improve overall health in people receiving hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is a life-saving treatment for kidney failure, but it often causes physical and emotional problems. The study w…

This study looks at whether doing Pilates exercises can help older adults (65+) who are on dialysis feel better. It focuses on reducing restless leg syndrome symptoms, improving physical function, and how patients see their own bodies. The study will involve 100 participants who …

This study looks at whether listening to music during hemodialysis can reduce fatigue, improve sleep quality, and boost mental well-being. Sixty adults on dialysis will receive 30 minutes of music therapy during each session for four weeks. Researchers will measure changes using …

This study tests whether combining relaxation exercises with listening to a specific Quran chapter (Surah Ar-Rahman) can help people on kidney dialysis feel less anxious and sleep better. 76 adults with advanced kidney disease will be split into two groups: one gets the relaxatio…

This study will test whether adding acupuncture laser therapy to standard medical care can reduce neck pain and improve quality of life in 60 adults undergoing hemodialysis. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either medical treatment alone or medical treatment plus…

This study looks at whether tiny chemicals in your breath can show if a hemodialysis session is doing its job. About 22 people on dialysis and 23 healthy adults will give breath and blood samples. The goal is to find a simple, painless way to check dialysis quality without extra …

This study looks at whether having dialysis on the same day as surgery is better than not having it for people with end-stage kidney disease. About 30 adults will be randomly assigned to one of two schedules. Researchers will check if the approach is safe and practical by trackin…

This study will check 100 adults on long-term dialysis to see how often they have thyroid problems, abnormal cholesterol, and high uric acid. Researchers want to understand how these conditions are linked in dialysis patients. The goal is to gather information, not to test a new …

This study looks at how well different lengths of a newer type of dialysis (expanded hemodialysis) remove waste products from the blood compared to a standard high-volume method. About 15 adults with end-stage kidney disease will try three different session times (180, 210, and 2…

This study surveys 200 kidney patients and their caregivers to learn about their priorities and challenges when switching from peritoneal dialysis (done at home) to hemodialysis (done in a clinic). The goal is to understand what matters most to them during this transition, so tha…

This study looks at whether a daily supplement of 'good bacteria' (synbiotic) can improve gut health and reduce harmful toxins in the blood of people on dialysis. Researchers will measure changes in gut bacteria, toxin levels, and gut barrier function over 12 weeks in 30 adult di…

This study will test 200 adults on regular hemodialysis for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) using a simple skin test. The goal is to find out how many dialysis patients carry the bacteria without symptoms, so doctors can better prevent active TB in this vulnerable group. No …

This study tests whether a special presentation style called Pecha Kucha helps people on hemodialysis better follow their fluid and diet restrictions. About 70 adults who have been on dialysis for at least 6 months will take part. One group gets the new teaching method, the other…
