Gum arabic and kidney function in dialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking gum arabic, a natural fiber, can help preserve the remaining kidney function in adults on dialysis. If you produce at least 200 ml of urine a day, this study might help you learn about a possible way to protect your kidneys.

This study looks at whether a deep cleaning of the gums (called subgingival instrumentation) can help slow down the progression of kidney failure in people who have both type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. If you have moderate gum disease, this treatment might help keep your kidneys working longer.
This trial tests if taking activated charcoal by mouth can help people with advanced kidney disease who are already on dialysis. It may improve how the body handles certain waste products and reduce the need for other medicines.
This study tests whether a manuka honey mouth rinse can help treat gum disease in people who are on dialysis for kidney failure. If you have both kidney failure and gum disease, this study may offer a natural way to improve your oral health.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) and chronic kidney disease are connected. By joining, you'll help researchers understand if treating one might affect the other.
This trial tests a new oral medication, coated aldehyde oxystarch, for people on dialysis. It aims to lower certain waste products in the blood that are hard to remove with standard dialysis, which may help reduce long-term complications.
This study tests whether adding a pea fibre supplement to your diet can help improve your health while you are on dialysis. It is a simple addition to your routine and may support your overall well-being.
