NCT ID NCT05090865

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether people with chronic kidney disease can safely eat potassium-rich fruits and vegetables instead of following the usual low-potassium diet. Thirty participants will receive home-delivered groceries with either high- or low-potassium produce in a random order. Researchers will track potassium levels in blood and urine, blood pressure, and quality of life to see if liberalizing potassium intake is safe and beneficial.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

dietary potassium from fruits and vegetables

What this could lead to

If it works, this could change dietary advice for people with chronic kidney disease, allowing them to eat more fruits and vegetables without worrying about potassium levels.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is testing a dietary change, not a new drug, so the impact is likely modest.
