Plant-Based Diet for Kidney Disease in Asian Adults
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age 21–79 years old
- Moderate kidney disease (CKD stage 3–4) diagnosed for at least 6 months

This study compares two healthy plant-based diets — one with higher potassium and one with lower potassium — to see if the higher-potassium diet is safe for people with chronic kidney disease (stage 4 or 5, not on dialysis). It may help you understand how diet affects your potassium levels.
This study looks at how replacing high-protein foods affects people with chronic kidney disease. If you join, you will eat a carefully controlled diet to help researchers understand if changing your protein intake can improve your kidney health.
This study tests if eating more plant-based foods can improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis who are underweight or malnourished. Participants will follow a special diet plan and have regular health check-ups for 6 months.
This study tests a plant-focused diet plan to help people with diabetes and moderately to severely reduced kidney function avoid or delay needing dialysis. You would get diet instructions based on your random group and have several follow-up visits and check-ins over 6 months.
This study tests whether a step-by-step low-protein diet can help protect your kidneys if you have advanced chronic kidney disease (stages 4 or 5) or stage 3 that is getting worse quickly. The goal is to see if this diet approach can slow down kidney damage.
This study tests whether changing what you eat can help reduce inflammation in your kidneys if you have ADPKD (a genetic kidney disease). Researchers will measure a specific protein in your urine to see if diet can slow kidney disease.
