Explorative Study to Investigate the Acid-base Response to Sodium and Potassium Salts in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Aug 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

With this research the investigators want to study how patients with chronic kidney disease respond to different sodium- and potassium salts. Potassium salts can prevent kidney damage and cardiovascular disease, however patients with chronic kidney disease can responds differently. Extra potassium can increase the amount of potassium in the blood and extra chloride can cause acidosis. With this study the investigators will gain more insight in how patients with chronic kidney disease respond to sodium and potassium salts and which one is more favorable.This information can then be used to guide the application of salt substitutes and dietary adjustments in patients with chronic kidney disease.
