NCT01473914

Brief Summary

A pilot randomized trial that compares a new renal nutritional supplement with the standard renal vitamin. The primary objective is to compare two doses (medium and high) of the new supplement with the renal vitamin currently being prescribed to people with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Secondary objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of recruitment for a definitive larger trial.
