This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a plant-dominant, low-protein diet (called the PLADO diet) can help people with chronic kidney disease manage a condition called metabolic acidosis, which is a major factor in kidney disease getting worse. Researchers want to see if this diet works better than the standard kidney disease diet that doctors usually recommend, and whether it's safe, practical, and affordable for patients to follow.
Metabolic acidosis is a common and serious problem in people with kidney disease that speeds up kidney damage. Researchers believe that this plant-based diet might help reduce metabolic acidosis better than current standard diets, potentially slowing down kidney disease progression.

You will be randomly assigned to either the new plant-based low-protein diet or the standard kidney disease diet. Over 6 months, you'll attend monthly nutrition education sessions to learn how to follow your assigned diet, and visit the clinic monthly for checkups and blood tests. After the first 6 months, you'll have one final follow-up visit 3 months later. In total, the study lasts about 9 months.
