Probiotics and kidney disease progression trial
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement can slow down the decline of kidney function in people with moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 3 and 4). If you have stable kidney disease and are not already taking probiotics, joining this study could help researchers find a new way to protect your kidneys.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or 4, confirmed by a blood test called eGFR.
- Your kidney condition has been stable recently, with no recent hospital stays for sudden kidney problems or other serious illnesses.
- You are not currently taking any probiotic supplements or prebiotic products.
- You are willing to follow study instructions, attend clinic visits, and provide blood or urine samples.

This trial tests whether a special blend of probiotics and prebiotics (called a synbiotic) can improve gut health and reduce harmful waste products in the blood for people on hemodialysis.
This study tests a program to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stay healthy through diet tracking and other proactive steps. It focuses on people whose kidney function has declined but who are not yet on dialysis.
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.
This trial tests if an oral medication that absorbs toxins plus probiotics can reduce inflammation and slow kidney damage in people with diabetes-related kidney disease (DKD). It may help those with mild to severe kidney function loss.
This trial tests whether a daily supplement of synbiotics—a mix of beneficial bacteria and fiber—can help reduce inflammation in people with chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. Taking this supplement might improve your kidney health and overall well-being.
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.
