Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing More frequent hemodialysis and Conventional Hemodialysis in people with End Stage Renal Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Satellite Healthcare at 2 sites in United States.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
