This study tests whether taking a special mix of friendly bacteria and prebiotics (called synbiotics) can help improve gut health in people on hemodialysis. It may reduce inflammation and other complications related to kidney disease.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement can slow down the decline of kidney function in people with moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 3 and 4). If you have stable kidney disease and are not already taking probiotics, joining this study could help researchers find a new way to protect your kidneys.
This trial studies an oral product (a “uremic toxin” absorber) plus probiotics to help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. It may help by lowering harmful gut-related substances that can build up when kidney function is reduced.
This study tests whether taking probiotics (good bacteria) or synbiotics (probiotics plus fiber) can improve the nutritional health of people on dialysis. It may help those who struggle with nutrition while waiting for a kidney transplant.
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 trial tests whether taking a daily synbiotic supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) can help reduce inflammation in people with chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. It aims to see if this approach can improve their health and potentially slow disease progression.
