Time-Restricted eating tested as kidney disease therapy
NCT ID NCT06618859
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether time-restricted eating (eating all meals within an 8-hour window each day) can reduce protein in the urine and slow kidney function decline in people with moderate chronic kidney disease. Fifty adults with stage 2-3 CKD and elevated albuminuria will follow either the 8-hour eating plan or their usual eating pattern for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in kidney markers, blood pressure, body composition, and safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- time-restricted eating (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a simple dietary strategy to help manage chronic kidney disease and reduce protein leakage.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Dietary changes can be hard to maintain, and the effect on kidney function may be modest or absent.
