Nutrition and kidney health support program for chronic kidney disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a program that combines nutrition guidance and kidney health support to help people with chronic kidney disease manage their condition. You may join if you have kidney disease plus diabetes, high blood pressure, overweight, or food insecurity, and you are willing to make healthy changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and receive care at a UPMC clinic.
- You have chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is not severe enough to require dialysis, based on recent lab results.
- You also have at least one of these: diabetes (with recent HbA1c of 7.5% or higher), high blood pressure (average 130/80 or higher), are overweight or obese, or screening suggests food insecurity.
- You are ready to make lifestyle changes (not in the pre-contemplation stage).
- You are not currently on dialysis, and you are not scheduled to start dialysis or receive a kidney transplant within the next 6 months.
