This study tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine called Niaoduqing Granules can help improve kidney function in people over 60 with chronic kidney disease. It may offer a new way to manage the condition without dialysis.
This study tests whether eating a higher-potassium diet is safe and helpful for people with early-to-moderate kidney failure who are not yet on dialysis. You may be asked to follow a specific diet plan and have blood tests to monitor potassium and other health markers.
This trial tests a medication called EC5026 in people with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD) to see how the body handles it. It helps understand if dose adjustments are needed for people with impaired kidney function.
This research study tests an experimental treatment for people with chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and how it affects kidney function.
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.
