This research study is looking at whether a simple ultrasound scan of your neck can help doctors predict when you might experience a dangerous drop in blood pressure during your dialysis treatment. Researchers will measure two specific things on the ultrasound — how fast blood flows through your carotid artery and how much that flow varies — to see if these measurements can warn doctors before low blood pressure happens. The goal is to find an easy, non-invasive way to keep you safer during dialysis by catching problems before they occur.
Low blood pressure during dialysis is a common and serious problem that can make patients feel dizzy, weak, or faint, and in severe cases can be dangerous. Right now, doctors don't have a reliable way to predict who will have this problem, so this study is looking for an early warning sign using ultrasound imaging.

If you join this study, you would have a single ultrasound scan of your neck performed about one hour after you start one of your regular dialysis sessions. The scan takes measurements of blood flow in your carotid artery, and your blood pressure will be monitored during your normal dialysis treatment. The study team will track whether you experience low blood pressure during that session and compare those results to your ultrasound measurements.
