Phosphate Level Management
for Kidney Failure
During end-stage kidney disease, clinical guidelines suggest reducing elevated phosphate levels in the blood. However, the effect of lowering blood phosphate levels on important patient-centred outcomes has never been tested. This trial will evaluate whether compared to high levels, lowering blood phosphate levels would reduce death or major events due to heart disease, improve physical health, and be cost-effective.

Spironolactone
for Kidney Failure
This trial tests if spironolactone, a pill that blocks a harmful hormone, can reduce heart problems in dialysis patients. These patients are at high risk of heart failure and death, and the pill aims to lower blood pressure and protect their hearts. Spironolactone has been shown to effectively lower blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension.
