Multicultural Healthy Diet in Chronic Kidney Disease

Brief Summary
This is a pilot intervention study to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally-tailored anti-inflammatory diet intervention in participants with chronic kidney disease.
Brief Title
Multicultural Healthy Diet in Chronic Kidney Disease
Detailed Description
This is a pilot pre-post comparison intervention study to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally-tailored anti-inflammatory diet intervention. The study will recruit 20 adult participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) from nephrology clinics in the Bronx. The diet emphasizes limiting animal and high saturated fat foods with focus on anti-inflammatory foods/food components specific to the cultural context of the participant. The diet will also be tailored to needs of the CKD population including a focus on lowering sodium intake. The intervention will be delivered by an experienced nutritionist with expertise providing dietary counseling to patients with CKD. The investigative team will assess whether the diet is feasible, acceptable, and safe in patients with CKD through dietary intake assessments, questionnaires and serum biomarkers. Information from study will help inform the study design and intervention of a future large-scale, study aimed at improving CKD outcomes. The clinical site for the proposed study is at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center.

Official Title
The Feasibility and Acceptability of a Multicultural Healthy Diet (Anti-inflammatory Dietary Pattern) in Racial/Ethnic Minorities With Chronic Kidney Disease
Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
Change in dietary inflammatory score (Dietary intake will be scored using a dietary inflammation index). The scores at baseline (pre-intervention) will be compared to scores at 2 months. A lower score indicates a more anti-inflammatory dietary pattern. The intervention will be considered feasibile if ≥65% participants have a 2-point or more reduction from their baseline dietary inflammation score.
