Protein-controlled diet for kidney disease management
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a low-protein diet (called PLADO) to help manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3–5. It aims to slow kidney decline and improve nutrition. You may join if your kidney function is stable and your blood sugar and blood pressure are under control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older
- You have chronic kidney disease stages 3–5 with stable kidney function (eGFR 59 or lower for at least 3 months)
- Your blood sugar and blood pressure are well-controlled with medication
- You have normal nutritional health (checked by a standard assessment called GLIM)

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 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.
This study tests whether a step-by-step low-protein diet can help protect your kidneys if you have advanced chronic kidney disease (stages 4 or 5) or stage 3 that is getting worse quickly. The goal is to see if this diet approach can slow down kidney damage.
This study tests whether eating mostly plants (with some animal products) can safely help people with moderate kidney disease. Researchers will compare this diet to a standard kidney-friendly diet and see how it affects kidney function and overall health.
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.
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.
