Plant-based diet for nutrition on dialysis
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a special peritoneal dialysis solution with amino acids (protein building blocks) to improve nutrition in people on CAPD who are malnourished. It might help boost your protein levels and overall health.
This trial tests a special dialysis fluid with amino acids (building blocks of protein) to see if it helps improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who have low protein levels. If you qualify, it may help boost your nutrition.
This trial tests whether taking probiotic and prebiotic supplements can improve gut health in people receiving peritoneal dialysis at home. It may help with digestion and overall well-being.
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 if providing supportive meals at home can improve nutrition and health for older adults (60+) with chronic kidney disease who are on hemodialysis and from low-income, food-insecure households in Malaysia.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrition during your dialysis sessions can help maintain or improve your muscle mass. If you are on long-term hemodialysis, this could potentially help you feel stronger and healthier.
