Healthy Diet Rich in Potassium to Chronic Kidney Disease With Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate: A Feasibility Study
Summary
This is a descriptive single arm open-label interventional trial lasting 6 weeks aiming to test if a low protein healthy K-rich diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts with concomitant use of new potassium binder (SZC) can be safely prescribed to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 and 5 with hyperkalemia. Thirty adult CKD patients with hyperkalemia will be included. In the first 3 weeks of the study the plasma K will be normalized with the use of SZC and then the participants will receive a fruit basket during 3 weeks. SZC will be continued thru out the study. Primary end points will be changes in patient satisfaction with treatment, patient symptom list, and intake of energy and protein before and after the stabilization and healthy diet phase. Secondary outcomes will include changes in quality of life, obstipation and circulating gut microbiota-related uremic toxins.
