Trial summary

Hyperkalemia is common in End-Stage Renal Disease on chronic hemodialysis patients. The most common cause of mortality in End-Stage Renal Disease patients is sudden cardiac death caused by hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia also increased urgent dialysis and hospitalization rate.

About this study

Official title: Influence of Low Potassium Content Vegetables in End-Stage Renal Disease on Chronic Dialysis Patients

Hyperkalemia is common in End-Stage Renal Disease on chronic hemodialysis patients. The most common cause of mortality in End-Stage Renal Disease patients is sudden cardiac death caused by hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia also increased urgent dialysis and hospitalization rate. Thus, the management for hyperkalemia in End-Stage Renal Disease patients is crucial, including restricting dietary potassium, medication control, and dialysis dosage adjustment. In the ordinary diet, the significant sources of potassium are vegetables and fruit. In our study, the investigators try to find out the influence of low potassium content vegetables for serum potassium control in End-Stage Renal Disease on chronic hemodialysis patients.

This study is a prospective cohort study; the investigators enroll forty End-Stage Renal Disease on hemodialysis patients and perform this study in eight weeks period. The investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind and cross-over trial for investigating the influence of low potassium content vegetables on End-Stage Renal Disease patients. The serum potassium level will record under different potassium content vegetables. The possible adverse effects of low potassium content vegetables, cardiac arrhythmia, will also obtain by chart records during this study.

Read the detailed description

According to the plan moderator, after the patient agrees and signs the test consent form, the patients will be randomly divided into two groups. The screening execution time of this patient is expected to be 2 weeks. After randomization into two groups, the first group was given low potassium content vegetables for 2 weeks, and the serum potassium level was recorded during routine blood tests in the hemodialysis; then the normal potassium content vegetables was given after 2 weeks of washing time. After 2 weeks of normal potassium content vegetables, the serum potassium level was recorded during routine blood tests in the hemodialysis, and the test was terminated. The second group was given normal potassium content vegetables for 2 weeks, and the serum potassium level was recorded during routine blood tests in the hemodialysis; after 2 weeks of washing time, the low potassium content of the vegetables was given for 2 weeks. The serum potassium level was c, and the test was terminated. Compare the potassium concentration of blood in hemodialysis patients using low potassium vegetables with normal potassium content vegetables.

Routine blood test observed in this trial - including blood counts (white blood cells, red blood cells, platelet count, hemoglobin, hematocrit), blood biochemical tests (including urea nitrogen, creatinine, liver function, albumin, total protein, uric acid, electrolytes) (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron), iron storage protein, fasting blood glucose, blood fat, parathyroid hormone concentration, dialysis parameters (artificial kidney, weekly dialysis times, dialysis hours, dialysate concentration, dialysis volume) , dialysate temperature), and the patient's blood pressure changes and arrhythmia occurred statistical analysis. Outpatient hemodialysis patients' medical records have been coordinated with the hospital electronic data, data obtained from electronic medical records to obtain patients with hypokalemia drugs or hypertension drug use records, dialysis records. All the information obtained will be linked to ensure patient privacy.

During the trial, if the patient has hospitalization for arrhythmia caused by hypokalemia, the record will be withdrawn from the trial and then withdrawn from the clinical trial and excluded from the statistical analysis.

Model description
This study will enroll 40 End-Stage Renal Disease on chronic hemodialysis patients. We will perform a randomized, double-blind, cross over study. In one group, low potassium content vegetables use as study intervention for two weeks (study phase), then shift to placebo (ordinary vegetables) for two weeks. In another group, ordinary vegetables will use firstly, then change to low potassium content vegetable use. Serum potassium, blood pressure, and biochemistries will analyze at the end of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low potassium content vegetables in people with End-stage Renal Disease, run by China Medical University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 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 3 Jan 2020. 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 Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

Contact Hsuan-Jen Lin, MD (+886976555706, beardogeli@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of serum potassium level (time frame: two weeks). 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?
