Study Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Recruit Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Condition: Hyperkalemia, Diminished Renal Excretion
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Evidence for Potassium Restriction in Hemodialysis
Brief Summary:
EvoKe-HD is a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and potential for efficacy of a novel dietary approach to hyperkalemia.Contrary to the traditional recommendations limiting the intake of high-potassium whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, the investigators propose to switch the focus to foods containing potassium that is readily absorbed by the body (high bioavailability), such as potassium from additives, processed meats, milk, fruit juices and sugary drinks.
