The study titled "Effect of Plant Dominant Low Protein Diet among Chronic Kidney Disease Patients from Selected Hospitals in Pune, India - A Randomized Prospective Controlled Study" aims to investigate the impact of a plant-based low protein diet on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition characterized by gradual loss of kidney function, and dietary management plays a crucial role in slowing disease progression and managing symptoms.

Summary: The trial involves chronic kidney disease patients from selected hospitals in Pune, India, who are randomized into two groups: one receiving a plant-dominant low protein diet and the other continuing with a standard diet. The study is prospective and controlled, meaning that patients are followed over time and their outcomes are compared between the two groups. Key measures include kidney function parameters, nutritional status, and dietray compliance and adherence.

Purpose: The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether a plant-dominant low protein diet can significantly improve kidney function and overall health outcomes in CKD patients compared to a standard diet. This includes evaluating the effects on biochemical markers of kidney function, nutritional deficiencies,dietray intake, adherence and compliance to the diet . The study aims to provide evidence on the benefits and feasibility of implementing a plant-based dietary approach in the management of CKD, potentially offering a sustainable and beneficial dietary strategy for these patients.
