MAnnitol for Blood Pressure Stability in HemoDialysis (MAP-HD)

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Hemodialysis Complication
Hemodynamic Instability
Interventions
Drug: 0.9% saline
Registration Number
NCT04428372
Lead Sponsor
Brigham and Women's Hospital
Brief Summary

This proposal will measure the effects of mannitol administration versus placebo in hypotensive-prone, adult, maintenance hemodialysis patients with respect to changes in patient symptoms and blood pressure stability.

Detailed Description

A randomized crossover trial of hypertonic mannitol vs. placebo in IDH-prone participants will be performed over a 4-week period to determine the effect on:

* Patient symptoms

* The magnitude of intra-dialytic hypotension

The hypothesis to be tested is that the use of hypertonic mannitol will result in fewer adverse symptoms and less decline in intra-dialytic BP, compared with the use of placebo.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient Symptoms4 weeks

Comparison of average patient symptom score during mannitol arm using dialysis symptom index compared with the average score during the placebo arm (scale 0-150; higher scores worse)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient Symptoms4 weeks

Comparison of average patient symptom score during mannitol arm using SMAART HD questionnaire compared with the average score during the placebo arm (scale 0-60 on 12-questions, higher scores worse)

Intra-dialytic hypotension4 weeks

Comparison of change in average intra-dialytic systolic blood pressure change during mannitol arm, compared with during the placebo arm
