Potassium in plant-based diet for kidney patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 85 years old.
- You have chronic kidney disease (CKD) with an eGFR less than 30 (a measure of kidney function).
- Your potassium level in the blood is normal (3.5–5.3 mmol/L).
- You are not on dialysis.
- You can read and understand Swedish well.
- You do not have a kidney transplant or one planned soon.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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.
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 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 a medication called patiromer, combined with a low-potassium diet, can help manage potassium levels in people on chronic dialysis. The goal is to improve quality of life by allowing a more flexible diet.
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.
