Ketone drink study for kidney disease patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a ketone supplement can reduce protein in urine and protect kidney function in people with chronic kidney disease or polycystic kidney disease. You drink a special supplement and researchers measure how it affects your kidneys.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have chronic kidney disease with a certain amount of protein in your urine, or you have polycystic kidney disease.

This study tests if drinking a ketone supplement can improve how your body responds to insulin, which affects blood sugar control.
This trial tests if a new drug, R3R01, can help reduce protein leaking into the urine in people with diabetic kidney disease. It may offer a new option for managing kidney health.
This study tests if a special drink can improve nutrition and quality of life in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not on dialysis. It is for those who have lost weight or have poor appetite.
This trial tests whether a special diet supplement (Ketoanalogue) can help protect your muscles while you follow a moderate protein diet. It is for people with chronic kidney disease stage 4 or 5 who are not on dialysis or have not had a kidney transplant.
