Skipping dialysis could trigger heart trouble within days
NCT ID NCT07455799
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 225 adults with end-stage kidney disease who are on regular dialysis. Researchers want to see if missing a dialysis session raises the risk of heart problems like heart attack or stroke within the next 72 hours. Participants will have heart tests after a missed session to check for changes.
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 this study finds a clear link, it could help doctors better warn patients about the dangers of skipping dialysis and improve care plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at what happens after missed sessions, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all dialysis patients.
