Effects of Exogenous Ketosis on Proteinuria and Renal Function
A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded crossover study will be conducted. Fourteen patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and 29 patients with proteinuric kidney disease will receive ketone bodies (Ketone-IQ) and placebo in a randomized order. Each treatment period is four weeks. There will be a wash-out period of two weeks in between treatment periods. Effect variables will be measured in the last day of each treatment period.
