Study diet and muscle loss in people with kidney disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is for adults with chronic kidney disease and low muscle strength (sarcopenia). It aims to find ways to improve outcomes, especially if you have a higher risk of complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 to under 80 years old
- Have chronic kidney disease—either low kidney function (eGFR under 60) or on maintenance dialysis for at least 3 months
- Do not have nerve or brain/muscle control diseases such as muscular dystrophy, ALS, spinal cord injury, stroke, or myasthenia gravis
- Do not have major nerve/brain diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or Huntington’s
- No active serious infection in the last 3 months
- Not currently pregnant, and the study doctor must agree you’re safe to join

This study tests whether a medicine called Ketosteril can improve muscle strength and function in people with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) who also have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
This study tests how much protein older adults with kidney disease and muscle loss should eat to build or maintain muscle. You will follow a protein plan and do simple resistance exercises to see if it helps your strength.
This study tests whether exercise during hemodialysis can improve muscle oxygen levels and how well dialysis works. It is for people who have been on dialysis for at least a year and have muscle loss (sarcopenia).
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can help people on dialysis who have muscle wasting (uremic sarcopenia). It aims to improve muscle strength, physical function, and quality of life.
This study looks at a possible nutritional supplement (valine) to help people with advanced chronic kidney disease who also have muscle weakness (sarcopenia). It will test whether the supplement can improve muscle strength and function.
