NCT04247867 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study will compare achieved levels of protein-bound uremic toxins with dialysis using a medium cut-off membrane compared to the treatment by online haemodiafiltration with a high-flux dialysis membrane. In the second phase of the study dietary fiber and short-chain fatty acid intake will be increased to verify a possible additional reduction in the levels of protein bound uremic toxins.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

medium cut-off (MCO) dialysis membrane

Medium cut-off dialysis (MCO) membrane is a dialysis membrane with a higher molecular weight retention onset and similar cut-off as standard high-flux dialysis membranes. It is capable of providing increased clearance of medium sized uremic toxins and some plasma proteins (cytokines, inflammatory mediators).

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Dietary fiber mixture (Plantago Psyllium and Inulin)

Dietary fiber (Psyllium 69% and Inulin 30% mixture) added to the meals in the dose of 5g BID for 4 weeks in the second phase of the study.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Sodium propionate

Sodium propionate (a short-chain fatty acid) added to the meals in the dose of 500 mg BID in the second phase in the study.
