Repeated brief limb ischemia to see its effect on blood pressure and inflammation in people with kidney disease

Official title: Assessment of the Impact of Repeated Ischemic Preconditioning Episodes on Hemodynamic and Metabolic Parameters in Patients at Various Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease

Run by Medical University of Lodz · NCT07746102 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether short, repeated episodes of limb ischemia can influence blood pressure, heart rate, and inflammation in adults with chronic kidney disease who may be on hemodialysis.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with chronic kidney disease at any stage (G1–G5) who can provide informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with severe anemia, advanced heart failure (NYHA IV), rhabdomyolysis, peripheral vascular disease, or impaired consciousness may not benefit and are excluded.

What this trial studies

The trial investigates the effects of four 5-minute cycles of limb ischemia, induced by cuff inflation, on hemodynamic and inflammatory laboratory parameters in adults with chronic kidney disease. Participants are hospitalized and undergo basic vitals monitoring and blood tests before and after the ischemic episodes. The study aims to identify any short-term changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and inflammation markers associated with repeated ischemic preconditioning. Data collection occurs over a 4-day hospitalization in the nephrology department. The design centers on a controlled ischemic intervention with standard clinical measurements.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients with chronic kidney disease could benefit from improved understanding of non-pharmacologic strategies to modulate blood pressure and inflammatory status.

How similar studies have gone: Previous data on ischemic preconditioning suggest potential protective effects in cardiovascular contexts, but results vary and this study explores a specific CKD-related setting.
