Protecting Kidneys With a Low-Protein Diet
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a step-by-step low-protein diet can help protect your kidneys if you have advanced chronic kidney disease (stages 4 or 5) or stage 3 that is getting worse quickly. The goal is to see if this diet approach can slow down kidney damage.

This study looks at how quickly chronic kidney disease (CKD) gets worse over time. Researchers want to find out which factors predict faster progression, so they can better help people slow down kidney damage. If you have CKD but are not yet on dialysis, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how replacing high-protein foods affects people with chronic kidney disease. If you join, you will eat a carefully controlled diet to help researchers understand if changing your protein intake can improve your kidney health.
This study tests whether eating mostly plants (with some animal products) can safely help people with moderate kidney disease. Researchers will compare this diet to a standard kidney-friendly diet and see how it affects kidney function and overall health.
This trial tests a low-protein diet (called PLADO) to help manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3–5. It aims to slow kidney decline and improve nutrition. You may join if your kidney function is stable and your blood sugar and blood pressure are under control.
This study tests whether providing healthy food like fruits and vegetables can help protect the kidneys of people with early kidney disease. It aims to see if a better diet can slow down kidney damage and improve overall kidney health.
This study compares two ways to track how much protein you eat using a mobile app or website. It is for people with advanced chronic kidney disease who are already in a nutrition program and want to follow a low-protein diet.
