New study aims to tame high potassium in kidney patients with standardized care
NCT ID NCT06884267
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a standardized care plan can help chronic kidney disease patients better control high potassium levels while optimizing their RAASi medications. About 1,000 participants will receive the care plan, which includes doctor training and patient education. The main goal is to see if more patients achieve normal potassium levels and optimal medication use after 48 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- standardized hyperkalemia management implementation (clinical pathway and education)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a practical, guideline-based care approach to help kidney disease patients better manage high potassium levels while optimizing their heart-kidney protective medications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage, single-arm study without a comparison group, so results may not prove the approach is better than usual care. Success depends on real-world adherence and may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years, at the time of signing the informed consent. 2. HK (sK+ \> 5.0 mmol/L) within 48 hours before enrolment. 3. Patients diagnosed as chronic kidney disease with eGFR\>10 ml/min/1.73m2 based on the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) Creatinine Equation (2021). See 8.3.4 for detailed equation. 4. Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix A which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients on dialysis. 2. Pseudohyperkalemia signs and symptoms, such as hemolyzed blood specimen due to excessive fist clenching to make veins prominent, difficult or traumatic venipuncture, or history of severe leukocytosis or thrombocytosis. 3. Patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). 4. Patients with cardiac arrhythmias that require immediate treatment 5. Patients scheduled for renal transplant or with a history of renal transplant. 6. Life expectancy \< 48 weeks. 7. History of malignancy except for: 7.1 Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease within 3 years before the enrolment and of low potential risk for recurrence. 7.2 Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo malignancy without evidence of disease. 7.3 Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease. 8. Be participating in other intervention clinical trials. 9. Judgment by the HCP that the patient should not participate in the study if the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.
