Detailed Description
Adult patients with new diagnosis or relapse of nephrotic syndrome and glomerular filtration rate of ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73m2 will be included in the study. Exclusion criteria will be a secondary cause of nephrotic syndrome, morbid obesity and severe diseases affecting nutritional status.
Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group (KA+MPD) or control group (MPD); randomization will be stratified by type of glomerular disease (podocytopathy or other type) and investigational site. The control group will follow the diet recommended in nephrotic syndrome - a medium protein diet (MPD) - under the care of a dietitian. Intervention group will receive Ketosteril (1 tablet for every 5 kg of ideal body weight) as an addition to the diet. All patients will also receive treatment for underlying glomerular disease in accordance with current guidelines and local practice.
The main objective is to assess the efficacy of Ketosteril as an add-on therapy in preventing the loss of lean tissue mass (LTM) over 6 months compared to a standard diet.
The additional aims include the assessment of muscle function parameters, nephrotic syndrome severity and laboratory indicators of catabolism.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Maximum loss of lean tissue mass
Time Frame: 6 months
|
The difference between the initial lean tissue mass (LTM) and the lowest LTM measured within 6 months, expressed in percentage. The non-inferiority hypothesis of Ketosteril use will be tested as the primary endpoint. LTM will be measured with bioimpedance spectroscopy. |
