All recruiting trials (7)
-
A Phase 3 test of WS016 for hyperkalemia
This trial tests WS016 in adults with high potassium to see if it can quickly normalize levels and keep them steady for a year.
-
Potassium-friendly plant-based diet for people with advanced CKD
This pilot study tests whether a liberal plant-based diet with normal potassium levels is safe and acceptable for adults with advanced CKD (eGFR <30) who are not on dialysis.
-
Oral WS016 to quickly lower and maintain potassium in adults with hyperkalemia
This trial tests whether oral WS016 can quickly lower high potassium and keep potassium in the normal range in adults with hyperkalemia.
-
How common high potassium is and what increases the risk in non-dialysis CKD patients in the community
This project will test how common high potassium is and try to find which health and lifestyle factors raise the risk in adults with chronic kidney disease who are not on 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.
-
Using patiromer to improve blood pressure treatment in chronic kidney disease
This study is testing if a medication called patiromer can help improve blood pressure treatment for people with chronic kidney disease by making another medication work better.
-
Using patiromer to treat high potassium levels in children under 12
This study is testing if a medication called patiromer can safely help children under 12 with high potassium levels feel better.
