Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Low blood pressure (hypotension) during dialysis afflicts approximately 25% of hemodialysis patients. In this pilot study, we will evaluate the safety and effects of individualizing the sodium concentration in the dialysate according to the patient's own plasma sodium levels. We hypothesize that patients will have less thirst and less weight gain during the intervention leading to easier fluid removal and less episodes of hypotension.
