Probiotics and synbiotics for nutrition in dialysis patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking probiotics (good bacteria) or synbiotics (probiotics plus fiber) can improve the nutritional health of people on dialysis. It may help those who struggle with nutrition while waiting for a kidney transplant.

This study tests whether adding pea fiber to your diet can improve health outcomes in people receiving hemodialysis for kidney disease. Researchers want to see if this natural fiber helps reduce harmful substances in your blood and improves your overall well-being.
This study tests whether a homemade nutrition drink can help people on dialysis who are losing muscle or weight (protein-energy wasting). You will take the drink regularly for a few weeks to see if it improves your lab results and energy levels.
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 trial tests whether taking probiotic and prebiotic supplements can improve gut health in people receiving peritoneal dialysis at home. It may help with digestion and overall well-being.
This trial tests whether taking a daily synbiotic supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) can help reduce inflammation in people with chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. It aims to see if this approach can improve their health and potentially slow disease progression.
