Dialysis breakthrough? two simple Add-Ons may cut deadly complications
NCT ID NCT07335471
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two extra treatments for people on dialysis for kidney failure. One adds a special filter (hemoperfusion) to clean more toxins from the blood, aiming to reduce heart and brain complications. The other gives a steady sugar solution during dialysis to help patients who get dangerously low blood pressure. The trial involved 100 adults and checked if these methods improve safety and comfort during treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hemoperfusion and continuous high-glucose infusion
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these approaches could help dialysis patients have fewer heart and brain problems, and make dialysis sessions safer and more comfortable.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include bleeding, infection, and blood sugar changes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age between 18 and 80 years. 2. Receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) for 3 months or longer. 3. Diagnosis of severe ultrafiltration intolerance (UFI), defined as either: Persistent pre-dialysis hypotension (systolic blood pressure \<100 mmHg), OR Recurrent intradialytic hypotension (IDH), defined per KDOQI guidelines as a decrease in systolic blood pressure to \<90 mmHg or by \>20 mmHg from baseline, accompanied by symptoms. 4. Failure to achieve target ultrafiltration volume (mean UFV \<1.5 L per session) despite at least 4 weeks of conventional interventions (e.g., dialysate cooling, sodium profiling, sequential ultrafiltration). 5. Inadequate dialysis delivery, defined as a mean single-pool Kt/V of less than 1.2. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Acute infection, myocardial infarction, or major surgery within the past 3 months. 2. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, defined as a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level greater than 9%. 3. Severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh class C).
