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 study compares plant-based proteins (like beans and legumes) with animal-based proteins (like red meat) to see which one better helps older adults with obesity maintain muscle while losing weight. You might benefit if you're looking for a way to protect your strength as you manage your weight.
This study tests whether a protein powder combined with resistance exercise can improve muscle and bone health in people with sarcopenia (age-related loss of muscle). It may help you become stronger and more mobile.
This study looks at a possible nutritional supplement (valine) to help people with advanced chronic kidney disease who also have muscle weakness (sarcopenia). It will test whether the supplement can improve muscle strength and function.
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.
This study tests whether exercise during hemodialysis can improve muscle oxygen levels and how well dialysis works. It is for people who have been on dialysis for at least a year and have muscle loss (sarcopenia).
