Listening to dialysis fistulas: sound may reveal blood flow problems
NCT ID NCT06411353
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study looks at whether the sounds made by an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) — a surgically created blood vessel connection used for dialysis — can tell doctors about blood flow conditions. Researchers will use MRI and ultrasound to measure blood flow and compare it to fistula sounds in 15 adults with end-stage kidney disease. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to monitor fistula health and predict problems.

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 non-invasive way to monitor fistula health using sound, potentially reducing complications in dialysis patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It is observational and does not test a treatment.
