About this study

Official title: Effect of Restriction of Foods Containing Phosphorus Additives on the Phosphatemia of Patients With End-stage Renal Disease.

Hyperphosphatemia is related to the increase in morbidity and mortality. There is greater risk for cardiovascular disease, atherosclerotic disease, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and bone disease .

The serum phosphorus level can be controlled by a combination of factors, such as: reduction of ingestion, reduction of intestinal absorption with chelating agents and increase in elimination by dialysis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dietary intervention consisting of the restriction of industrialized foods with phosphorus additives in chronic kidney disease patients treated with hemodialysis.

Read the detailed description

The consumption of foods which contain phosphorus by patients on hemodialysis should be monitored in order to reflect the current reality, due to the increase in ingestion of industrialized foods rich in phosphorus additives. Data from studies performed in the USA shows a reduction in phosphatemia with nutritional orientation to reduce foods containing additives from restaurants in the region of the study . In another study, also conducted in the USA, the researchers evaluated the phosphorus content and presence of additives in appetizers and side orders served at fast food restaurants in Cleveland. The results showed that of the appetizers, 52% were accepted by the traditional criteria for the renal diet (low content of sodium, potassium and organic or natural phosphorus), but only 16% were also free of phosphorus additives; of the side orders, 23% were accepted by the traditional criteria and 17% were exempt of phosphorus additives. Thus, only a small proportion of appetizers and side orders served at fast food restaurants were compatible with the renal diet. Considering that alimentary phosphorus has an important role in the control of phosphatemia, there is a lack of studies which evaluates the effect of foods containing phosphorus additives on phosphatemia and which, at the same time, evaluated the alimentary ingestion and the nutritional state of the chronic kidney disease patients treated with hemodialysis.

Can the elimination of foods containing phosphorus additives and their substitution for foods without additives reduce phosphatemia without altering the nutritional state of hyperphosphatemic patients on hemodialysis?

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Restriction on food containing phosphorus additives in people with End-stage Renal Disease and Hyperphosphatemia, run by Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Santa Casa de São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change the serum levels of phosphorus to acceptable levels ( under 5.5 mg per dL) (time frame: 90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Mar 2015.
