About this study

Official title: The Effect of Dietary Phosphorus Load and Food Matrix on Postprandial Serum Phosphate in Hemodialysis Patients

This study is to investigate the acute postprandial effect of a modified versus standard low phosphorus diet on serum phosphate, potassium and intact parathyroid levels in prevalent hemodialysis (HD) patients

Read the detailed description

Background: Potential dietary strategies for controlling hyperphosphataemia include the use of protein sources with lower phosphorus bioavailability such as pulses and nuts, focus on phosphorus to protein ratios and the avoidance of all phosphate additives.

Method: Controlled crossover feeding study in 8 HD patients. On one day, participants were directly observed eating a standard low phosphorous diet and on the other day, a modified low phosphorus diet. The modified diet included beef and less dairy, with a lower phosphorus to protein ratio, as well as plant-based protein, whole grains, pulses and nuts containing phytates which reduces phosphorus bioavailability. Both diets were tailored for each participant to provide 1.1g protein/kg ideal body weight. Participants provided fasting bloods before breakfast, a pre-prandial sample before lunch and samples at one hour intervals for the four hours after the meal, for analysis of phosphate, potassium and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard DietActive comparatorThe standard diet was based on the current dialysis diet sheet. The standard diet main meal contained a higher proportion of foods with a higher phosphorus to protein ratio (salmon and dairy), and foods with higher phosphorus bioavailability (cake). The diet was tailored for each participant to provide 1.1g protein/kg ideal body weight. The major differences between the diets were at the main meal.
Receives: Other: Standard Diet
Modified DietExperimentalThe modified diet, representative of the proposed modified phosphorus diet used food of lower phosphorus to protein ratio such as beef and less dairy. Approximately 30% dietary phosphorus in the modified diet came from foods with significant phytate content such as pulses, nuts and whole grains. The modified diet was tailored for each participant to provide 1.1g protein/kg ideal body weight.
Receives: Other: Modified Diet

Individual data sharing
No: We did not get consent for publication of identifiable data, and so as perHrynaszkiewicz et al 2010 anthropometric data, sex, ethnicity and age will not be reported in the raw data. We will report the biochemical data and nutrient intake data which allow the reproduction of the analysis we will present.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard Diet and Modified Diet in people with Hemodialysis, run by University College Cork.

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 6 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 30 Apr 2021. 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?

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?

Serum Phosphate (time frame: Post -prandial period (4 hours)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04845724, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Apr 2021.
