Summary

This trial will compare two types of dialysis treatments to find which works best for people with new kidney failure and some remaining kidney function.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with new-onset kidney dysfunction requiring dialysis can join this trial. They should have started or be starting in-center hemodialysis soon, and not been on it for more than 6 weeks. Participants need some remaining kidney function and urine output. Those with certain blood chemistry imbalances, high fluid removal needs, a short life expectancy, or pregnancy are excluded.
What is being tested?
The TwoPlus Trial is comparing two schedules of hemodialysis for people with kidney failure: one group will receive treatments twice a week while the other will have them three times a week. The goal is to see which frequency is better when patients still have some kidney function left.
What are the potential side effects?
Hemodialysis side effects may include low blood pressure, muscle cramps, itching, sleep problems, anemia (low red blood cell count), bone diseases due to mineral imbalance and access site complications among others.
