New hope for dialysis diets: pill could free patients from food prison

NCT ID NCT06858280

Summary

This study is testing if a medication called patiromer can allow people on long-term dialysis to relax their very strict low-potassium diets. The goal is to see if patients can eat more normally without their blood potassium getting dangerously high, which could improve their quality of life and nutrition. It will compare patiromer to a placebo in about 40 participants.
