Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of two different preoperative hemodialysis schedules for people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who undergo surgical procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is it feasible to randomize participants with ESKD undergoing nonemergent surgical procedures to same-day hemodialysis versus no same-day hemodialysis?

Is it safe to randomize participants with ESKD undergoing nonemergent surgical procedures to same-day hemodialysis versus no same-day hemodialysis?

Researchers will compare the two hemodialysis schedules to see if the scheduling and safety profiles are the same.

Participants will:

Answer questions about their health up to 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after the surgical procedure.

Receive hemodialysis on the day of the surgical procedure or not, depending on the study treatment assignment.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Same-Day Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis treatment prior to the surgical procedure but on the same calendar day as the surgical procedure (typically in the morning prior to the procedure).

PROCEDURE

No Same-Day Hemodialysis
