Uric acid clearance with routine hemodialysis in adults on maintenance dialysis

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 prospective cross-sectional study will enroll 100 consenting adults on maintenance hemodialysis at Sohag University Hospital over six months. Investigators will collect demographic and dialysis-related data and measure serum uric acid immediately before and after routine dialysis sessions to calculate uric acid clearance. Clearance between 65% and 80% is defined as low efficacy and above 80% as good efficacy. Patients on uric-acid–lowering drugs, those dialyzing less than four hours, who have been on dialysis for under three months, or who receive emergency dialysis sessions are excluded.
