Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designPlacebo-controlled unblinded cross-over study
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study acronymBlood pressure and glucose in dialysis water
Study objectivesWe wanted to test the hypotheses that blood pressure was lower, that the variability of blood pressure and blood glucose was reduced, and that quality of life was improved when glucose was added to the dialysis fluid
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic renal failure
InterventionGlucose versus placebo

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of glucose added to the dialysis fluid on:
1. Blood pressure and variation in blood pressure
2. Blood glucose and variation in blood glucose
3. Quality of life in patients treated with chronic maintenance hemodialysis
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Blood pressure, blood glucose, quality of life

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Blood pressure variability, blood glucose variability

Completion date31/07/2004
