Comparing low and high sodium levels in dialysis to see how it affects recovery time

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This research evaluates the impact of low versus high sodium concentration in dialysate during hemodialysis on the recovery time of patients. It focuses on individuals with chronic kidney disease who undergo long-term hemodialysis, aiming to address the prevalent issue of fatigue post-treatment. By measuring the time it takes for patients to recover after dialysis sessions, the study seeks to identify optimal sodium levels that may enhance patient quality of life. The study involves patients aged 18 and older who have been on hemodialysis for at least 90 days.
