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 study compares two ways to track how much protein you eat using a mobile app or website. It is for people with advanced chronic kidney disease who are already in a nutrition program and want to follow a low-protein diet.
This study tests whether a specific diet can lower a marker of inflammation in the urine, which may help slow kidney damage in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
This study tests if a special drink can improve nutrition and quality of life in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are not on dialysis. It is for those who have lost weight or have poor appetite.
This study compares two diets—one with minimally processed foods and one with ultra-processed foods—to see how they affect potassium levels in people with chronic kidney disease. You will receive all meals during the study, and the results may help guide dietary advice for better kidney health.
