Does Ketosteril help muscle loss in kidney disease?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic kidney disease stage 3 or 4 (moderate to severe, but not on dialysis).

- You are able to walk without assistance.
- You do not have diabetes.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 25 or less (not overweight or obese).
- You have not had any recent heart problems, infections, or other serious illnesses in the last 3 months.

This trial tests whether a combination of a vitamin D-like drug (idecalcitol), whey protein powder, and a structured exercise program can help rebuild muscle strength and mass in people with sarcopenia. It lasts about 6 months.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
