NCT ID NCT07170761
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at 475 people on hemodialysis to find better markers for bone disease and blood vessel hardening. Researchers are checking if new markers can predict heart attacks, strokes, and death better than current tests. The goal is to improve monitoring and care for dialysis patients.
