The official eligibility criteria

Registry text, reproduced exactly. These are the words the trial's sponsor published on ClinicalTrials.gov. They have not been edited, shortened or rewritten, and they are written for researchers rather than for patients.

The site inclusion criteria are:

* 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)

* Is a self-contained unit (i.e. unit patients do not regularly rotate through another unit. Brief trips by patients to a parent or other unit do not exclude a site)

* Willing to accept randomisation to either intervention (as determined by nominated Director of Unit)

* Is not a home dialysis training or support unit. \[Sites that include both in-center/satellite dialysis patients and home patients may participate but the study procedures and assessments will only be conducted in the incenter/satellite component of the site\].

The exclusion criteria are:

* Not able to comply with data collection methods

Voxsanity reformats data from public registries into this layout. It does not edit, interpret or add to what the registry published.

Not medical advice.

Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.
