精心配制的生酮饮食 多囊肾病

The KD will follow general principles the investigators have described with the aim to achieve blood ketones >0.5 mM, which will require most participants to consume <50 g/day carbohydrate and ~1.5 g/kg reference weight protein. Fat will comprise the remaining calories with an emphasis on monounsaturated and saturated sources from whole foods.

The diet intervention will start after all baseline testing is complete

KetoMojo hand-held glucometer will be used daily to monitor dietary intervention adherence.

Continuous Ketone/Glucose Monitor will be applied at the start of Test Day 1. The sensor will be checked by the study team at each test day and will be removed and replaced by a fresh sensor at ~2- week intervals during the study. The sensor will be removed at the end of the final test day.

Blood samples will be collected according to the schedule in Figure 1

DEXA Scanning will be done pre-, mid-, and post- intervention.

Changes in glomerular filtration rate will be assessed via magnetic resonance imagining conducted by trained professionals. MRI imaging analyses will determine cardiac function. Trained imaging professionals will analyze the images to determine overall change (mg/mmol).

changes in fasting ketone levels.

changes in fasting glucose levels.

Changes in both Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure will be measured at each lab visit (eg. Baseline, Week 6, and Week 12).

Recording: The systolic and diastolic pressures are recorded in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). For example, a reading of "120/80 mmHg" indicates a systolic pressure of 120 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 80 mmHg.
