About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Animal Protein Diet and Plant Protein Diet on Blood Test Result and Clinical Outcome in Hemodialysis Patients

Chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients are vulnerable to develop protein energy malnutrition and make a notion that to maintain the nutritional status is of paramount importance in these patients. However, proteins intake from vegetarian and meat diet were observed to have different impacts on nutritional and inflammatory status, mineral homeostasis and its related hormones, and clinical outcomes in non-dialysis CKD patients. In here, we aim to investigate these impacts in CHD patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • protein dietDietary supplement

    100 CHD patients will be recruited and randomized into 2 groups with an additional animal or plant protein 18g per day

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Statistical difference of serum biomarkers ( P value)

    The items scheduled to be evaluated in this study include serum albumin, pre-albumin, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, lipid profile, ferritin, transferrin, hs-CRP, Alk-P, iPTH, 25(OH)D3, intact \& C-terminal FGF23, Klotho and hepcidin levels. We'll collect the patient's serum data in plant diet group, and collect the serum data in animal diet group, then we'll compare the data in these two groups to see whether there is any difference between each item.

    Measured: 7 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Statistical difference of medical visits

    We'll review the patient's medical record in outpatient department . We'll look at what's the diagnosis and what's the number of the medical visits during the study period.

    Measured: 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing protein diet in people with Diffenence of Protein Diets on Hemodialysis Patients, run by Camillians Saint Mary's Hospital Luodong.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Shih-Ching Tsai, MD (+88639544106 ext. 7951, uftsai.tseng@msa.hinet.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Statistical difference of serum biomarkers ( P value) (time frame: 7 months). 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 6 Sep 2019.
