NCT ID NCT07544524
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a diet rich in plant-based foods is feasible and safe for people with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Singapore. Forty adults will either follow a plant-based diet or a standard kidney-friendly diet, with regular dietitian support. The main goal is to see if people can stick to the diet and find it acceptable, while also checking for risks like high potassium and potential benefits like slower disease progression.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a plant-based diet is a practical way to help manage chronic kidney disease and slow its progression in Asian populations.

- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. There is also a risk of high potassium levels (hyperkalaemia) or nutritional deficiencies.
