ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how different rates of ultrafiltration, which is the process of removing excess fluid during hemodialysis, affect a condition called intradialytic hypotension. This condition occurs when a patient’s blood pressure drops too low during dialysis, which can lead to complications. The goal of the study is to find the best ultrafiltration rates that can help reduce the risk of this problem for patients receiving hemodialysis.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and have been on maintenance hemodialysis for at least three months, attending three sessions each week. Unfortunately, some individuals won’t be able to join, such as those under 18, pregnant women, or those with certain serious health issues. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo close monitoring of your blood pressure during dialysis sessions. This research aims to improve the safety and comfort of dialysis treatments for everyone involved.
