This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After kidney tumor surgery, your remaining kidney has to work much harder, which can put stress on it and increase the risk of kidney damage over time. This study is testing whether using a salt substitute—a special type of salt that is lower in sodium and enriched with potassium—can help protect your kidney function. Recent large studies have shown that this type of salt substitute may lower blood pressure and reduce heart and kidney problems.
People in China and other Asian populations eat much more salt than recommended, which damages the kidneys and increases heart disease risk. After kidney tumor surgery, this high salt intake becomes even more harmful because your remaining kidney is already under stress. Researchers want to see if switching to this medication can reduce that stress and prevent long-term kidney problems.

You will be randomly assigned to use either the salt substitute or regular salt in your home cooking for a period of time after your surgery. Because the study wants to see real-world effects, you and your family members will need to use only the assigned salt type at home. You will have follow-up visits where doctors will check your kidney function and blood pressure to see how well the salt substitute is working compared to regular salt.
