About this study

Official title: Effects of Time-restricted Feeding on Obese Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3-4: a Pilot Study

Obesity is associated with glomerular hyperfiltration leading to renal impairment and is a risk factor for the progression of kidney disease.Weight loss can reduce proteinuria and improve eGFR.Intermittent fasting is safe and effective, and in addition to improving body shape and weight in obese patients, it can also improve glucolipid metabolism, reduce proteinuria, improve kidney function and delay the progression of kidney disease.

Read the detailed description

KDOQI clinical practice guideline for nutrition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) uses a low-protein diet to reduce renal impairment and delay progression. The current research hotspot is dietary intervention. Time-restricted feeding was used to intervene in the progression of CKD. It restrict the time of eating but not the eaten calories, which have a higher compliance and safety. Studies have shown that intermittent fasting in obese patients with CKD is not only reduce body weight, but also improves glycolipid metabolism, reduces proteinuria and delays the progression of kidney disease. Intermittent fasting is currently a scientific research hotspot, and there are few international studies on the implementation of intermittent fasting to delay the deterioration of renal function in obese CKD patients, and lack of data on Chinese patients, which has great research potential. Based on the above background, this study was conducted as an pilot clinical trial to explore the effects of intermittent fasting on obese patients with CKD and to observe its effectiveness, safety and compliance.

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?

Change in eGFR (ml/min/1.73m2) (time frame: 12 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jul 2022.
