Study of pectin for chronic kidney disease stages 3 and 4
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether pectin (a type of fiber from fruit) can help people with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease. You take a pectin tablet each day to see if it slows down kidney damage.

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 compares two healthy plant-based diets — one with higher potassium and one with lower potassium — to see if the higher-potassium diet is safe for people with chronic kidney disease (stage 4 or 5, not on dialysis). It may help you understand how diet affects your potassium levels.
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 looks at how the body handles phosphate in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand how to better manage phosphate levels to improve 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 studies an oral product (a “uremic toxin” absorber) plus probiotics to help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. It may help by lowering harmful gut-related substances that can build up when kidney function is reduced.
