Repletion of Ergothioneine in Patients With Kidney Failure
Stanford University
Start Date
4/1/2025
Completion Date
12/1/2030
Summary
Dialysis removes potentially harmful chemicals from the blood but can also remove potentially valuable chemicals. One potentially valuable chemical called ergothioneine, which comes from the diet, is low in the blood of people receiving dialysis. For this research study, the investigators hope to learn how well a daily ergothioneine supplement will replenish the levels in the blood of people with kidney failure.
