ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether a special device called the Bodyport Cardiac Scale can help predict when people with kidney disease who use peritoneal dialysis might experience problems caused by too much fluid in their bodies. Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure that removes waste and extra fluid from the body. The goal is to see if this scale can give early warnings of fluid buildup, which can lead to serious health issues.

To join the study, participants need to be 21 years or older, use automated peritoneal dialysis, be able to stand on the scale without help, and speak either English or Spanish (with some support if needed). People who are planning to switch to a different type of dialysis, have a very limited life expectancy, or certain other health conditions may not be able to join. If you take part, you will use the Bodyport Cardiac Scale regularly, and your health will be monitored through a remote system called Vantive Sharesource. This study is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to help improve care for people living with kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis.
