This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a plant-focused diet—one that emphasizes plant-based protein sources like beans, lentils, and grains—can help improve nutrition in people on peritoneal dialysis (a type of kidney treatment) who are malnourished. Half of the participants will follow a plant-focused meal plan tailored to their needs, while the other half will continue with the standard kidney diet. Researchers will measure changes in nutrition, kidney function, and overall health over 6 months.
Many people on peritoneal dialysis experience malnutrition and weakness, which can lead to worse health outcomes. Early research suggests that plant-based diets may help improve nutrition and reduce inflammation in these patients, but doctors need to study this carefully to understand if it's safe and effective for this specific group.

You will be randomly assigned to either the plant-focused diet group or the standard kidney diet group. Both groups will meet with a dietitian for personalized meal planning and counseling. If you are in the plant-focused group, you will aim to eat plant-based meals for most of your daily meals (at least 2 out of 3, or 3 out of 4). You'll have check-ins at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months—either during your regular clinic visits or through phone and video calls. The dietitian will monitor how well you're following the plan and make adjustments as needed.
