The Relationship Between the Change of Resting Energy Expenditure and Nutritional Status .
China30 participantsStarted 2021-04-01
Plain-language summary
Peritonitis is a common and devastating complication in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). It is a known fact that persistent inflammatory state and nutritional deterioration are closely associated with increased mortality in PD patients.And resting energy expenditure(REE) is significantly increased in acute and chronic inflammation in patients with chronic kidney disease (including dialysis patients).However,it is limited to the changing trend and duration of REE in peritonitis.Investigators hypothesize that the increase in total energy consumption resulting from the increase of REE which may accompany with decreased energy intake will lead to negative energy balance and nutritional deterioration, which may affect the prognosis of patients.Therefore,a prospective cohort study will be designed to dynamically research the change of REE accompanied with the nutrition status in peritonitis and provide the basis for peritonitis management in the future.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
