First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a simple neck ultrasound can accurately measure fluid status in people receiving chronic haemodialysis. Researchers will compare ultrasound results with standard methods in 100 participants. The goal is to find a safer, non-invasive way to guide fluid removal during dialysis.
