-
Canagliflozin to improve ultrafiltration and reduce peritoneal fibrosis in people on peritoneal dialysis
We will test whether taking canagliflozin reduces glucose absorption by the peritoneal membrane and improves ultrafiltration in people on peritoneal dialysis.
-
Daily ergothioneine supplementation for people with kidney failure on dialysis
This trial tests whether a daily ergothioneine pill can restore blood ergothioneine levels in people with kidney failure who receive dialysis.
-
Adding urea to the final dialysis fluid
This test tries adding urea to the dialysis fluid for adults with advanced kidney failure who have very high blood urea and need rapid lowering of potassium or correction of severe acidosis.
-
SelfWrap-Assisted Arteriovenous Fistulas for Chronic Kidney Disease
This study is testing if a new wrap called SelfWrap can make it safer and more effective for people with chronic kidney disease to have a new arteriovenous fistula created.
-
Registering patients on peritoneal dialysis in China
This study is trying to gather information from patients on peritoneal dialysis in China to see how they are doing and improve their care.
