This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is a two-year study that tests whether a mostly plant-based diet—where at least half of your protein comes from plants instead of meat—can help people with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease. You'd work with a dietitian to learn how to eat this way, and the researchers would track how your kidneys respond. The study is looking to see if this approach is practical for people in Singapore and whether it's safe and helpful.
Many kidney disease patients struggle with their diet and disease progression. This study wants to see if shifting toward plant-based eating—which may be gentler on the kidneys—could slow kidney damage and improve overall health without causing problems like dangerously high potassium levels.

You will be assigned to either the plant-based diet group or the standard kidney-friendly diet group based on your preference. You'll see a dietitian for counseling and support, and return to the clinic every six months for two years for blood tests and health assessments. The researchers will check your kidney function, potassium levels, nutritional markers, and overall quality of life through questionnaires and food records. There is no medication involved—just dietary guidance and regular monitoring.
