Low-potassium Content Vegetables in Chronic Kidney Disease

Increased Low-potassium Content Vegetables Consumption in Patients With Moderate-to-severe Chronic Kidney Disease: a Randomized Controlled Trial


Sponsor

Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation

Enrollment

75 participants

Start Date

May 27, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Prior observational studies have shown that higher levels of vegetables and fruits consumption are associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, compared with the normal population, patients with CKD are more likely to consume less vegetables and fruits. Thus, the investigators aim to evaluate whether proving low-potassium content vegetables to this population are able to reach the recommended target of daily vegetables intake and not increase the risk of hyperkalemia.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether eating specially prepared low-potassium vegetables can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) manage their potassium levels safely, while still getting the nutritional benefits of a vegetable-rich diet. High potassium is a dangerous complication in kidney disease. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 20 years or older - You have moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 3b to 5) but are not yet on dialysis - Your potassium blood level is between 3.5 and 5.5 mmol/L - Your medications have been stable for at least the past 4 weeks **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are expected to start dialysis within the next 3 months - You have significant gut diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease, or have had bowel surgery - You have active infection, cancer, heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or significant cognitive or mental disorders - You were recently hospitalized for a cardiovascular event or infection in the past 3 months - You have had a kidney transplant - You are taking immunosuppressive medications - You are pregnant or planning to become pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
