Egg white pudding could help kidney patients get stronger
NCT ID NCT06343727
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special egg white protein pudding can help people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. Participants will eat one pudding after each dialysis session, three times a week for 12 weeks. The researchers want to see if this is practical and if it improves nutrition and frailty compared to a standard supplement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- egg white protein pudding
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, affordable way to improve nutrition and reduce frailty in people with kidney failure on dialysis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study (54 participants) focused on whether the pudding is practical, not on proving health benefits. Results may not apply to all patients.
