Study of high potassium in kidney disease patients in community

This study looks at how high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in people with chronic kidney disease may affect the heart. Doctors will use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for changes.

This study tests whether eating a higher-potassium diet is safe and helpful for people with early-to-moderate kidney failure who are not yet on dialysis. You may be asked to follow a specific diet plan and have blood tests to monitor potassium and other health markers.

This study is looking at how common high potassium levels (hyperkalaemia) are and what factors increase the risk for people with certain health conditions. It may help doctors better understand and manage this condition.

This study looks at whether people on hemodialysis can safely eat more potassium-rich foods instead of following the usual low-potassium diet. It aims to improve quality of life and possibly adjust dietary restrictions.

This study tests if careful potassium management can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) safely take higher doses of blood pressure medicines called ACE inhibitors or ARBs, which are known to protect the kidneys. You may be eligible if you have moderate to advanced CKD and are already on a moderate dose of one of these medications.

This study compares two healthy plant-based diets — one with higher potassium and one with lower potassium — to see if the higher-potassium diet is safe for people with chronic kidney disease (stage 4 or 5, not on dialysis). It may help you understand how diet affects your potassium levels.
