Study Summary

This trial will determine whether a weight loss intervention can slow kidney growth in adults with a certain kidney disease.

They must have internet for video chats, no recent smoking or major surgeries, and their kidneys should be functioning above a certain level.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if eating fewer calories each day helps slow down kidney growth in overweight ADPKD patients compared to standard advice. It includes checking belly fat by MRI and analyzing blood and fat samples for biological changes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not specified but may include typical reactions to dietary changes such as fatigue, hunger, mood swings, or digestive discomfort due to caloric restriction.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Standard Advice ControlExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The standard advice control group will receive an initial consultation with a registered dietician regarding current clinical recommendations for ADPKD without subsequent counseling sessions.
Group II: Daily Caloric RestrictionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The daily caloric restriction group will participate in a 2-year, group-based, behavioral weight loss intervention based on a 30% reduction in caloric intake and increased physical activity.
