Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if an educational program emphasizing a whole food plant based diet favorably impacts blood pressure while not significantly increasing blood potassium levels, by comparing a group of patients receiving the educational program with a control group of patients receiving no specific education.


Description:

The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that educating hypertensive chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 and 4 patients on the benefit of a whole food plant based (WFPB) diet in the context of a 15-day educational program ("Jumpstart program") will lead to improved blood pressure control and will not increase rates of hyperkalemia. Other objectives: A) To test the effect of the Jumpstart program on degree of uptake on a WFPB diet via a 3 day food recall. B) To test the effect of the Jumpstart program on other important outcomes in CKD in the following domains: 1. Body composition such as weight and body mass index (BMI). 2. Quality of life. 3. Laboratory tests including- serum levels of sodium, bicarbonate, chloride, Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, albumin, parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23, lipids, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. C) To test the effect of the Jumpstart program on quality of life in hypertensive CKD patients.

Secondary Mean change in symptoms Higher scores indicate better health. Scores are transformed linearly to 0-100 range.
The symptom list assesses the extent of bother (not at all, somewhat, moderately, very much, extremely) during the last 30 days in terms of issues particularly relevant to patients with kidney disease including soreness in muscles, pain (joint,back, chest), headaches, cramps during dialysis, bruising, itchy skin, shortness of breath, dizziness, lack of appetite, excessive thirst, numbness in hands or feet, trouble with memory, blurred vision, nausea, or other problems with the access site.
Baseline to day 15
Secondary Mean change in effects of kidney disease Higher scores indicate better health. Scores are transformed linearly to 0-100 range.
Effects of kidney disease on daily life were assessed using the same five-point response scale used for the symptom/problem list and included restrictions on fluid and dietary intake, and impact on work, carrying out family responsibilities, travel, lifting objects, personal appearance, and time available to get things done.
Baseline to day 15
Secondary Mean change in burden of kidney disease Higher scores indicate better health. Scores are transformed linearly to 0-100 range.
The burden of kidney disease scale assesses perceptions of frustration and interference of kidney disease in one's life using a definitely true to definitely false response scale (interferes too much with life, too much time spent dealing with it, feel frustrated dealing with it, feel like a burden on family).
Baseline to day 15
Secondary Mean change in Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (MOS SF-12) physical composite Higher scores indicate better health. Scores are transformed linearly to 0-100 range.
Physical composite includes questions on how you feel about your physical health. In the survey, participants are asked if they could do things like climb stairs, move a table, or push a vacuum. How well they think they feel physically is a key measure of their health.
Baseline to day 15
Secondary Mean change in Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (MOS SF-12) mental composite Higher scores indicate better health. Scores are transformed linearly to 0-100 range.
Mental composite includes questions about general health, activity limits, ability to accomplish desired tasks, depression and anxiety, energy level, and social activities.
