NCT ID:
NCT03519360
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of trials that change the dialysis ultrafiltration rate (UFR) by limiting the maximum rate and to estimate the extent to which limiting the ultrafiltration rate reduces the risk of abnormal heart rhythms in people with kidney failure who are being treated with chronic hemodialysis.
Detailed Description:
Within four weeks of consent, subjects will have an Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) (Medtronic LINQ) device implanted. Subjects will be given a transmitter/charger and a Patient Care Assistant which they will be required to keep for the duration of their participation in the study. ILR tracings will be uploaded automatically and reviewed by the study team for the occurrence of clinically significant arrhythmia.
Following ILR implantation, subjects will alternate between weekly periods in which the ultrafiltration rate can be unlimited or in which the ultrafiltration rate is limited to ≤10mL/kg/hour.
