KPs Supplement for Inflammation, Oxidative Stress and Lipid Abnormalities in CKD Patients.
Sponsor: National Chung Hsing University
Summary
This clinical investigation is designed to evaluate the potential therapeutic effects of kefir peptides as an adjunct intervention for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and clinical proteinuria. Patients diagnosed with stage 3 or 4 CKD will receive a three-month course of kefir peptide supplementation. Throughout the intervention period, the investigator will monitor renal function markers (blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine), proteinuria (urine protein-to-creatinine ratio), inflammatory indicators (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), and additional biochemical parameters relevant to CKD progression.
