Dialysis before surgery: does timing matter? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07339202
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study looks at whether giving dialysis on the same day as surgery is better than not giving it for people with end-stage kidney disease. About 30 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two schedules. Researchers will track safety issues like electrolyte problems or extra dialysis needs, and see if this type of study is practical to run on a larger scale.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is willing to comply with all study procedures for the duration of the study 2. Patient has a diagnosis of ESKD 3. Patient initiated hemodialysis at least 90 days prior to the planned surgical procedure 4. Patient is treated with a stable hemodialysis schedule, defined as an average of 2.5- 3.5 hemodialysis sessions per week in the preceding 4 weeks prior to surgery 5. Patient is scheduled to undergo nonemergent surgical procedures in the Stanford Health Care system. This includes (but is not limited to): * Fistula or graft creation, revision, or removal * Fistulogram * Peritoneal dialysis catheter placement or revision * Lower extremity angiogram (including femoral and iliac vessels) * Lower extremity bypass (including femoral and iliac vessels) * Lower extremity amputation * Lower extremity endarterectomy (including femoral and iliac vessels) Of note, this list of procedures is not exhaustive and other procedures may be considered that meet inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria, in consultation with the treatment teams involved. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient is pregnant 2. Patient is a prisoner 3. Patient is \< 18 years old 4. The treating clinicians determine that the patient's clinical condition necessitate a specific approach to surgical scheduling or preoperative hemodialysis
