Comparison of Different Glucose Concentrations in Dialysate of Hemodialysis Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hemodialysis, ESRD

In brief

This study aims to show that using a glucose (sugar) concentration of 100 mg/dL in the dialysis fluid for hemodialysis is not inferior to using a concentration of 200 mg/dL with regard to the frequency and magnitude of blood glucose drops. Other parameters that will be compared between the two groups are blood pressure, heart rhythm, weight gain between dialysis treatments, and fatigue after the treatment.
