Energy Expenditure in Chronic Kidney Disease

NCT03358966 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Last updated 2017-12-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with kidney disease need accurate advice on their diet. Researchers know very little about energy needs and nutritional requirements in kidney patients. Simple tools are needed to calculate calorie requirements so that good bed-side advice can be given to patients, and to allow cost-effective research. This study aimed to measur energy requirements in kidney disease using a gold-standard safe and very accurate method called the "doubly labelled water technique". The study has compared measurements with less costly measurements obtained using a device which measures oxygen content of air breathed out. The study has also measured physical activity levels with questionnaires.
