No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a descriptive single arm open-label interventional trial lasting 6 weeks aiming to test if a low protein healthy K-rich diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts with concomitant use of new potassium binder (SZC) can be safely prescribed to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 and 5 with hyperkalemia. Thirty adult CKD patients with hyperkalemia will be included. In the first 3 weeks of the study the plasma K will be normalized with the use of SZC and then the participants will receive a fruit basket during 3 weeks. SZC will be continued thru out the study. Primary end points will be changes in patient satisfaction with treatment, patient symptom list, and intake of energy and protein before and after the stabilization and healthy diet phase. Secondary outcomes will include changes in quality of life, obstipation and circulating gut microbiota-related uremic toxins.

Conditions

  • Chronic Kidney Disease stage4
  • Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5
  • Hyperkalemia

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

sodium zirconium cyclosilicate and healthy diet

During 3 weeks, SZC will be prescribed to normalize plasma potassium to 3.5 to 5.0 mml/L, and a diet with energy 25-35 kcal/kg/day and protein 0.6 to 0.8 g/kg/day and with low K content will be prescribed. At the end of the first 3 weeks, the patients will initiate a healthy diet containing 3700 to 4000 mg/potassium for 3 weeks (healthy diet phase). A food basket containing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, white meat, fish and eggs in amounts adequate for the patient will be provided. Serum K will be monitored to promote serum K between 3.5 to 5.0 mmol/L and adjustments in the dose of SZC will be performed according to the drug label. During stabilization and healthy diet phases, serum K will be measured every 72 hours until serum K is normalized and after that, once per week.
