Monthly blood filter may extend life for dialysis patients
NCT ID NCT07348913
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined whether adding a monthly blood-cleaning procedure (hemoperfusion) to regular dialysis can reduce the risk of death, especially from heart or brain problems. Researchers reviewed records of 879 adult dialysis patients over 10 years, comparing those who received the extra treatment once a month with those who did not. The goal was to see if this approach improves long-term survival.
