Potassium-rich salt substitute for kidney transplant patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a salt substitute with more potassium and less sodium can help control blood pressure in people who have had a kidney transplant. It aims to see if this simple change is safe and effective for managing hypertension after transplantation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using a special salt substitute (lower in sodium, higher in potassium) at home can help people on hemodialysis maintain healthier potassium levels. It may offer a simple way to improve diet and heart health for those with end-stage kidney disease.
This study tests whether using a salt substitute instead of regular salt can help protect kidney function after kidney tumor surgery. It is for people who had a kidney removed (either full or partial) and whose remaining kidney is working well.
This study tests whether using a low-sodium salt substitute can keep your potassium levels safe while you manage your high blood pressure. It's for adults with high blood pressure who are already on stable medications.
This trial tests whether a hypertonic salt fluid (a higher-salt saline solution) can help prevent sudden kidney injury after heart transplant surgery. If you’re recently hospitalized for a heart transplant, you may be eligible if specific kidney support needs and critical breathing/circulation devices aren’t already required.
This study tests whether replacing regular salt with a special salt substitute can help control or prevent high blood pressure. Households with at least one person with high blood pressure and one person without it may join, and all members who share meals need to take part.
This trial tests whether a plant-based diet with more potassium is safe for people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to a plant-based diet with less potassium. It may help you understand how to manage your potassium levels while eating more plants.
