Summary
This study is testing whether eating Brazil nuts can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in people with chronic kidney disease. Fifty patients will take Brazil nut supplements for six months while researchers measure changes in blood and gut bacteria. It is a small, early-stage trial, so results will show if this approach is worth studying further.
