Assessing protein intake methods in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Official title: Assessment of Protein Intake Using 2 Types of Nutritional Collection in Comparison with 24-hour Urine Urea, in Chronic Kidney Disease.
Run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille · NCT06224153 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing two ways to track protein intake in people with advanced chronic kidney disease to see which method helps them follow a low-protein diet better and delay the need for dialysis.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease who are motivated to follow a hypo-protein diet.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients currently undergoing dialysis or those with ongoing cancer or significant undernutrition may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates two methods for assessing protein intake in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 and 5. The study compares the traditional 24-hour urine urea measurement with a detailed 3-day dietary record and Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to determine the most effective approach for introducing a low-protein diet. The goal is to better understand dietary habits and facilitate dietary modifications to delay the need for dialysis. Conducted in the PACA region of France, the study aims to improve dietary management for CKD patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance dietary management strategies for CKD patients, potentially delaying the need for dialysis.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of assessing dietary intake is common, this specific comparison of methods in CKD patients is less explored, making it a novel investigation.
