Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a plant-focused diet improves nutritional and health outcomes of malnourished adults undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). It will also learn about the safety of this diet in this population.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does a plant-focused diet improve nutritional status compared to a standard kidney diet in PD patients?
2. What changes occur in anthropometric, biochemical, and dietary measures over 6 months?

Researchers will compare the plant-focused diet to a standard-of-care renal diet to see which is more effective in improving nutrition in PD patients.

Participants will:

* Be randomly assigned to follow the plant-focused diet or the standard diet.
* Be monitored for 6 months through in-person visits (aligned with their routine clinic appointments) and virtual check-ins via messages or calls.
* Have their progress monitored for changes in outcomes such as nutrition, blood tests, kidney function, and quality of life.

Conditions

  • End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
  • End Stage Kidney Disease (ESRD)
  • Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)
  • Malnourished

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Plant-Focused Diet Counselling

Individualized dietary counseling conducted with the use of sample meal plans and infographics to guide patients to consume a diet emphasising plant-based protein sources while meeting nutritional requirements for peritoneal dialysis patients.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Renal Diet Counselling

Individualized dietary counseling conducted with the use of sample meal plans and infographics based on current guideline recommendations, to guide patients to consume a diet emphasising animal-based protein sources while meeting nutritional requirements for peritoneal dialysis patients.
