New dialysis filters aim to cut bleeding risk by reducing heparin use
NCT ID NCT05117450
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two special dialysis membranes (HYDROLINK and HeprAN) to see if they can safely reduce or eliminate the need for heparin, a blood thinner that raises bleeding risk. About 302 adults on long-term hemodialysis will take part. The goal is to complete dialysis sessions without using heparin, lowering the chance of bleeding complications.
