Potassium Containing Salt-Substitute in Hemodialysis-Dependent End Stage Kidney Disease

A Randomized, Pilot, Double-Blind Crossover Trial of a Potassium Containing Salt-Substitute in Hemodialysis-Dependent End Stage Kidney Disease

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

16 individuals with hemodialysis-dependent end stage kidney disease will receive 16 days of a potassium-containing salt-substitute and 16 days of standard table salt in random order. There will be a 19 day wash out period between the salt-substitute and table salt periods. Potassium concentration will be measured bi-weekly prior to HD each week during intervention. The primary endpoint will be the change in potassium from baseline. Additional measurements will include assessment of dietary intake, ambulatory blood pressure, occurrence of peri-dialytic symptoms, and per-dialytic vital signs.
