Dietary Potassium Liberalization in Pre-Dialysis Patients (DK-LIB)
Dietary Potassium Liberalization With Fruit and Vegetables Versus Potassium Restriction in People With Chronic Kidney Disease (DK-Lib CKD) Trial
Study Overview

Conditions
Detailed Description
The kidney is a primary site of potassium regulation in the body. Hyperkalemia, elevated serum potassium, occurs in approximately 10% of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with elevated all-cause mortality. To minimize the risk of hyperkalemia, individuals with CKD are told to restrict dietary potassium. This recommendation is based on very-low quality evidence. Dietary potassium restrictions can negatively impact quality of life, and may put participants at risk of nutritional deficiencies so they should be based on good quality evidence. There is a need for high quality randomized controlled trials investigating the impact of dietary potassium modification on serum potassium concentrations in people with CKD.
This trial will evaluate the impact and safety of dietary potassium liberalization using fruit and vegetables on serum potassium concentrations in people with CKD. In this 16-week study, the investigators will test if changing the amount of potassium people with CKD are eating with fruits and vegetables changes the amount of potassium in their blood. The investigators will do this by providing people with fruits and vegetables that are either high or low in potassium for a period of 6 weeks. Then these same participants will be provided with fruits and vegetables that they didn't receive in the first 6 weeks, for an additional 6 weeks in what is called a randomized crossover design. In a randomized crossover design everyone gets both treatments, but the order they get them in is chosen at random, like a coin toss. Thirty participants will be recruited to this study. The investigators will measure blood potassium during the study and see if it changes due to the change in potassium in the fruit and vegetables provided. The investigators think that changing the amount of potassium that participants eat through fruit and vegetables will not lead to a different level of potassium in the participants blood, and that having higher potassium fruit and vegetables in the diet may lead to an increase in the participants quality of life. This study's results could change the dietary recommendation given to people living CKD and potentially allow them to eat a greater variety of food.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Liberalized dietary potassium and then restricted potassium via fruit and vegetables
Participants will receive weekly supplementation of higher potassium fruit and vegetables via grocery home delivery during the liberalized dietary potassium 2-week run-in and liberalized potassium treatment period, then cross-over to the restricted potassium treatment period following a 2-week washout period.
Participants will receive a 30-60 minute dietary counseling session in the first week of each treatment period from a registered dietitian (RD), either in person or via videoconference, depending on regional Coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 restrictions and participant preference, which will outline the concepts of the dietary intervention.
The RD will also recommend the best ways to prepare and include the fruit and vegetables into the participant's current diet.
|
On the liberalized dietary potassium intervention, participants will receive groceries delivered to their houses that contain potassium rich fruit and vegetables, that contain more than 250 mg of potassium per typical serving.
Participants will be instructed to incorporate the fruit and vegetables into their diet targeting a daily intake of 2000 mg of potassium a day from delivered fruit and vegetables, and a daily dietary potassium intake of 3500 mg.
Participants will receive weekly supplementation of lower potassium fruit and vegetables, that deliver less than 200 mg of potassium per typical serving.
Participants will be instructed to incorporate the fruit and vegetables into their diet targeting a daily intake of 500 mg of K a day from the box, and a daily dietary K intake < 2000 mg.
Participants will receive counselling from a registered dietician (RD) to reinforce the potassium restriction.

Other: Restricted dietary potassium and then liberalized potassium via fruit and vegetables
Participants will receive weekly supplementation of higher potassium fruit and vegetables via grocery home delivery during the liberalized dietary potassium 2 week run-in and then start receiving a restricted potassium treatment period, then cross-over to the liberalized potassium treatment period following a 2-week washout period.
Participants will receive a 30-60 minute dietary counseling session in the first week of each treatment period from a registered dietitian (RD), either in person or via videoconference, depending on regional COVID-19 restrictions and participant preference, which will outline the concepts of the dietary intervention.
The RD will also recommend the best ways to prepare and include the fruit and vegetables into the participant's current diet
