About this trial
This global study will assess the effect of randomising dialysis sites to one of two default dialysate sodium concentrations in current practice, 140mmol/l and 137mmol/l, on major cardiovascular events and death in patients receiving maintenance haemodialysis.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Predominantly dialyses adults (≥18 years old) receiving maintenance haemodialysis
Rates of withdrawal within the first two years of commencing dialysis for social reasons have been less than 15% for the 2 years prior to recruitment and are not expected to increase above 15%
Has a minimum of 10 dialysis recipients at time of randomisation
Utilises a default dialysate sodium concentration at the time of recruitment (a substantial majority of dialysis sessions are conducted with the default dialysate sodium concentration)
Disqualifiers
Not able to comply with data collection methods
