Diet study for polycystic kidney disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This pilot study tests whether a short-term diet can help people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). You would follow a special diet for one week to see how it affects your health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of ADPKD, with a genetic test showing PKD1 or PKD2
- Your kidney function (eGFR) is above a certain level (greater than 30 mL/min/1.73m2)
- Your kidney imaging shows a specific type (class 1C, 1D, or 1E on the Mayo scale)
- You are willing to follow a diet plan for 1 week and complete the study
- You are not currently taking the medicine Tolvaptan
- You do not have diabetes, heart failure with very low pumping function, or advanced kidney disease (stage 4 or higher)

This study tests whether changing what you eat can help reduce inflammation in your kidneys if you have ADPKD (a genetic kidney disease). Researchers will measure a specific protein in your urine to see if diet can slow kidney disease.
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 a plant-focused diet plan to help people with diabetes and moderately to severely reduced kidney function avoid or delay needing dialysis. You would get diet instructions based on your random group and have several follow-up visits and check-ins over 6 months.
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.
