Salt substitute study for kidney transplant patients with high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a potassium-rich salt substitute instead of regular salt can help control blood pressure in kidney transplant recipients. It aims to find a simple dietary change that might improve heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a potassium-containing salt substitute to see if it can be used safely for people on regular dialysis for kidney failure. You may be eligible if you already receive outpatient hemodialysis and meet several health and medication requirements.
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 trial looks at how salt in your diet affects blood pressure control if you already have high blood pressure (hypertension). It aims to find simple ways to help manage your condition through diet.
This trial tests whether switching to a low-sodium salt substitute can help prevent high blood pressure disorders (like preeclampsia) during pregnancy. It is for pregnant people who are at increased risk and eat most meals at home.
