Special diet for people with polycystic kidney disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether following a special diet for one week can help people with polycystic kidney disease. It aims to see if the diet is safe and if it can slow down the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
- Genetic testing must show a change in either the PKD1 or PKD2 gene.
- Your kidney function (eGFR) must be above 30, meaning your kidneys are still working reasonably well.
- You must be willing to follow a special diet for one week before starting the study.
- You must be in a certain risk category (1C, 1D, or 1E) based on a kidney imaging test called the Mayo Clinic Imaging Classification.

This study tests whether a specific diet can lower a marker of inflammation in the urine, which may help slow kidney damage in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
This study tests a special medical food (Ren-Nu) to see if it helps with metabolism and kidney health in people with ADPKD. You would follow a dietary program and attend online classes.
This study follows patients with a genetic kidney disease (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) who are on dialysis and receive a procedure to block blood flow to their enlarged kidneys. Researchers will track how well the procedure works and how it affects patients over time using imaging scans.
This study is testing a new investigational medicine called PYC-003 for people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It is one of the first studies in humans, so the main goal is to see if the medicine is safe and tolerable. The study is for people with a specific genetic cause (PKD1 mutation) and with certain kidney imaging types.
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet can slow the progression of polycystic kidney disease in adults who are at risk for rapid decline. You'll follow a carefully planned low-carb, high-fat diet to see if it helps protect your kidneys.
This study enrolls adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) to better understand the disease and its related changes in the body. It may help researchers find improved ways to track the condition and support future treatments.
