First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested whether adding AC-134, a dietary supplement, to a low-protein diet helps protect kidney function in people with chronic kidney disease. Researchers measured kidney function, protein in urine, and waste products in the blood of 100 adults aged 20-90 with stage 3-5 disease. The goal was to see if this combination could slow kidney damage and improve overall health.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement that helps slow kidney decline in chronic kidney disease patients.
