Clinical Trial: Safety of a Healthy Plant-based Diet With Higher Potassium Content, Compared to a Healthy Plant-based Diet With Limited Potassium Content in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Pilot Study

U.S., March 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07494266) titled 'Safety of a Healthy Plant-based Diet With Higher Potassium Content, Compared to a Healthy Plant-based Diet With Limited Potassium Content in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Pilot Study' on March 09.
