Protein intake for muscle health in older kidney patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests how much protein older adults with kidney disease and muscle loss should eat to build or maintain muscle. You will follow a protein plan and do simple resistance exercises to see if it helps your strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older and Thai
- You have moderate chronic kidney disease (stage 3, eGFR between 30 and 59)
- You have been diagnosed with muscle loss (sarcopenia) or are at risk for it
- You are able to do light resistance exercise (no serious heart or lung problems)
- You do not have a pacemaker or metal implants that prevent body composition measurements

This trial is for adults with chronic kidney disease and low muscle strength (sarcopenia). It aims to find ways to improve outcomes, especially if you have a higher risk of complications.
This trial compares plant-based protein sources to animal-based ones to see which better helps older adults with obesity and early muscle loss improve strength and health. It aims to find the best protein for protecting metabolism and building muscle.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This trial tests whether adding protein powder to a resistance exercise program can improve muscle strength and mobility in people with sarcopenia, a condition of age-related muscle loss. It is designed for adults aged 35–75 who have low muscle strength and slow walking speed or other physical performance issues.
This study tests a special amino acid supplement to see if it can help improve muscle strength and function in people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have low hand grip strength, often a sign of muscle loss. It may offer a way to preserve muscle health without dialysis.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
