Dietary Modulation of Urinary MCP-1 in ADPKD
13 giugno 2026 aggiornato da: Elad Nizri, Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center
Open Labeled , Randomized, Controlled, Crossover Trial on the Effect of a Carbohydrate Restricted Plant Dominant Diet on MCP-1 Mediated Inflammatory Signaling in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressive cyst growth and declining kidney function. Inflammatory pathways, including those mediated by monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), are increasingly recognized as contributors to disease progression. Metabolic alterations in cystic epithelial cells may influence inflammatory signaling, suggesting a potential role for dietary interventions targeting metabolic pathways.
This study is a prospective, randomized, open-label crossover trial designed to evaluate the effect of a carbohydrate restricted, plant dominant dietary intervention on urinary MCP-1 levels in adults with ADPKD. Participants will be randomized to one of two sequences: dietary intervention followed by usual diet, or usual diet followed by dietary intervention, with a washout period between study phases. Each study period will last 12 weeks.
The primary objective is to assess within subject differences in urinary MCP-1/creatinine ratio between the dietary intervention and usual diet conditions. Secondary outcomes include measures of metabolic parameters, insulin resistance, dietary adherence, and safety.
This study aims to explore whether a structured dietary approach may influence intrarenal inflammatory activity in ADPKD and provide preliminary data to inform future interventional studies.

Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Urinary MCP-1/Creatinine Ratio
Lasso di tempo: Baseline and End of each 12-week study period (weeks 0,12, 18 and 30)
|
Urinary MCP-1 levels will be measured in first morning urine samples and normalized to urine creatinine (MCP-1/creatinine ratio).
For each study period, two samples will be collected within the final week (2-5 days apart), and the mean value will be used.
The primary outcome is the within subject difference in MCP-1/creatinine ratio between the dietary intervention and usual diet conditions.
