The Effect of Blood Flow Rate on Dialysis Recovery Time in Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis

NCT03943212 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 102

Last updated 2019-05-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A majority of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on in-center hemodialysis (HD) require several hours to recover from fatigue after an HD session. Evidence for practical interventions to improve this recovery time from conventional in-center HD is lacking. This study investigates the effects of reducing HD blood flow rates on patients' self-reported post-dialysis fatigue.

Conditions

  • ESRD
  • Fatigue
  • Hemodialysis-Induced Symptom

Interventions

OTHER

Blood Flow Rate Reduction

Hemodialysis blood flow rate will be reduced by 100 mL/min, or to a minimum of 300 mL/min, whichever is higher. Patients will be surveyed regarding their dialysis recovery time and other symptoms weekly.

OTHER

Control

No changes will be made to the dialysis prescription. Patients will be surveyed regarding their dialysis recovery time and other symptoms weekly.
