Clinical Trial Summary

Rationale: Several studies have shown that higher urinary potassium excretion (as proxy for potassium intake) is associated with better kidney outcomes, lower blood pressure and improved survival. These associations are also observed in patients with (advanced) CKD. However, application in daily practice in patients with CKD, is impaired by the risk of hyperkalemia, due to metabolic acidosis and impaired renal potassium excretion in these patients. As a consequence, patients with CKD are advised to restrict their intake of fruit and vegetables, as these healthy food components are important sources of dietary potassium. This is particularly undesirable for patients with CKD in view of the very high risk of cardiovascular disease. Concomitant use of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) could allow a more liberal intake of fruit and vegetables for patients with CKD, as SZC effectively treats hyperkalemia and counteracts metabolic acidosis [1]. With this strategy, the beneficial effects of potassium in fruits and vegetables on (vascular) health could also become accessible to patients with CKD. Objective: To demonstrate that a potassium-rich diet, including the use of SZC as potential rescue treatment (in case of hyperkalemia), does not result in an unacceptable rise in plasma potassium (i.e. max rise of 0.5 mmol/L and no hyperkalemia). Study Design: Investigator initiated, single center, cross-over randomized clinical trial with non-inferiority design (14 weeks, 2 groups: regular diets vs. diet with potassium rich fruits and vegetables with sodium zirconium cyclosilicate if necessary) Study population: Outpatients ( age ≥ 18 years ) with chronic kidney disease stage IIIb/IV and use of inhibitor of the renin-angiotensin system (RASi). Intervention: Addition of fruit- and vegetables that contain 40 mmol of potassium on top of regular diet. Addition of SZC after 1 week in case hyperkaliemia develops (serum potassium > 5,5 mmol/L). Weekly measurement of plasma potassium and dose adjustment of SZC if needed

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate
In the case of hyperkalemia patients will be treated with Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate to allow the continuation of potassium enriched diet. In case hyperkalemia arises in the control group, patients will be treated with Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate as well.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The difference of serum potassium at baseline and after six weeks of treatment with potassium enriched diet (non-inferiority design) compared to the control group. With an intention to treat analysis. 6 weeks
Secondary Ambulatory blood pressure (average systolic and diastolic blood pressure over 24 hours) 6 weeks
Secondary 24 hours albuminuria 6 weeks
Secondary urinary potassium (mmol/l) 6 weeks
Secondary Plasma bicarbonate 6 weeks
Secondary Quality of life, using SF36 questionnaire 36-Item Short Form Survey. Scoring can range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better health status 6 weeks
Secondary Effect on stool (assessed with Bristol Stool Chart) Scoring can range form 1 to 7. Where score of 1 indicates obstipation, score of 4 indicates normal defecation and 7 indicates watery defecation. 6 weeks
Secondary Difference in serum potassium one week after start of study (SCZ free period) 6 weeks
Secondary Per protocol analysis of difference in serum potassium after six week (end of study) 6 weeks
Secondary Incidence of severe hyperkalemia (serum potassium above 6.5 mmol/l or above 6.0 with ECG features of hyperkalemia) 6 weeks
Secondary Incidence of hyperkalemia (serum potassium above 5.5 mmol/l) 6 weeks
Secondary Necessity for treatment of hyperkalemia 6 weeks
Secondary urinary sodium (mmol/l) 6 weeks
