Study on high potassium levels in Brazil
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is looking at how common high potassium levels (hyperkalaemia) are and what factors increase the risk for people with certain health conditions. It may help doctors better understand and manage this condition.

This study looks at how common high potassium levels are in people with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis. It may help find who is at risk and how to prevent it.
This study looks at how high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in people with chronic kidney disease may affect the heart. Doctors will use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for changes.
This study tests if careful potassium management can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) safely take higher doses of blood pressure medicines called ACE inhibitors or ARBs, which are known to protect the kidneys. You may be eligible if you have moderate to advanced CKD and are already on a moderate dose of one of these medications.
This trial tests a new drug called WS016 to lower high potassium levels in adults. High potassium can be dangerous for your heart, and this study aims to find out if WS016 is safe and effective.
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.
This study tests whether relaxing the usual potassium restrictions in your diet is safe and helpful for people on hemodialysis. It may allow you to eat more foods you enjoy while keeping your potassium at a safe level.
