Exploring Water-free Sodium Storage


Sponsor

Yale University

Enrollment

10 participants

Start Date

Oct 3, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The overarching goal of this proposal is to definitively establish if acute water free Na storage and release occurs, if the amount stored/released is of a quantity that is physiologically relevant, and if the location is intracellular vs. extracellular.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is investigating how the body stores sodium (salt) in ways that are not detectable in regular blood tests — called water-free sodium storage — in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on peritoneal dialysis (a type of home dialysis using the lining of the abdomen). **You may be eligible if...** - You have end-stage kidney disease and are actively doing peritoneal dialysis at home with a working catheter - Your blood pressure is above 130 mmHg (systolic) - Your sodium level in the blood is normal or above (greater than 135 mmol/L) - Your urine output is very low (less than 400 mL per day) - You have been on a stable dialysis prescription for at least 2 months - You have been on peritoneal dialysis for at least 6 months - You are at your target dry weight without signs of fluid overload **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have poorly controlled diabetes (A1C above 9%) - You have had peritonitis (dialysis-related infection) in the past 6 months or have an active catheter infection - You have significant anemia (hemoglobin below 8 g/dL) - You weigh less than 60 kg - You have bowel conditions causing diarrhea - You have used amiodarone (a heart medication) in the past 6 months Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
