What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether a nurse-led nutritional education program could help hemodialysis patients in Morocco lower dangerously high potassium levels. Thirty adults with end-stage kidney disease received 12 weeks of dietary guidance on potassium, fluids, and salt. After the program, the share of patients with safe potassium levels rose from 36.7% to 46.7%, showing that nurse-led education can be a practical solution in settings without dietitians.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
nutritional education intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this simple, low-cost program could be adopted in other dialysis centers lacking dietitians to help patients manage potassium and reduce heart risks.
What could go wrong
This was a small, single-group study with only 30 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The improvement in potassium levels was modest, and quality of life did not change.
