Tiny study to reveal how phosphorus in food affects kidneys

NCT ID NCT06712719

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how the amount of phosphorus in food affects phosphorus and calcium balance in people with moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD). Fourteen participants will follow two different controlled diets (low phosphorus then high phosphorus, or vice versa) for 19 days each. Researchers will measure phosphorus and calcium in urine, stool, and blood to understand how the body handles these minerals. The goal is to gather knowledge, not to test a new treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

controlled diets with low or high phosphorus content

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors understand how to better manage phosphorus and calcium levels in people with moderate CKD through diet.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-stage study (14 people) focused on measuring body processes, not testing a treatment. Results may not apply to all CKD patients.
