DISaRM-HD Trial Summary
This trial is testing whether giving HD patients low-sodium meals for one month, along with dietary counseling, will lead to better long-term nutrition behavior. The primary outcome is reduced interdialytic weight gain (IDWG).
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 on hemodialysis for chronic kidney failure, who can consent to the study and are willing to eat provided meals. Participants should not have limb amputations or pacemakers, and must typically gain a lot of fluid between dialysis sessions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if eating low-sodium meals for one month, followed by dietary counseling for six months, helps patients manage their fluid intake better than just getting dietary advice. The goal is to see if this approach reduces excess fluid in the body.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves diet modification rather than medication, side effects may include changes in taste preferences or challenges adapting to new dietary restrictions.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be provided with 2 meals and snacks daily, for 30 days (days 1-30) and 1 meal and snacks daily, for 30 days (days 31-60). These meals should meet KDQOI guidelines for energy and protein (30-35 kcal/kg & 1.2 g/kg) as well as low phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. The meals are formulated to less than 600-800 mg sodium each (<2,000g/day) and will be ordered and delivered through momsmeals.com
Group II: ControlExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will follow their usual or normal diet for 5 months (CON) followed by an Controlled Dietary Sodium Restriction (INT) diet for 2 months. During the sodium restricted diet, participants will be provided with 2 meals and snacks daily, for 30 days (Month 5 - days 1-30) and 1 meal and snacks daily, for 30 days (Month 6 - days 31-60). These meals should meet the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDQOI) guidelines for energy and protein (30-35 kcal/kg & 1.2 g/kg) as well as low phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. The meals are formulated to less than 600-800 mg sodium each (<2,000g/day) and will be ordered and delivered through momsmeals.com
