ClinConnect Summary
This clinical study is looking at how the body handles extra phosphate—a mineral found in many foods—and whether this changes as people get older or differs between men and women. Since kidney function can slow down with age, this might affect how well the body balances phosphate after eating foods high in this mineral. The researchers want to understand if age and sex play a role in how the body responds to a sudden increase in phosphate from the diet.
People of all genders can take part, but participants need to be between 31 and 66 years old. While the study is not yet recruiting, those who join will likely be asked to follow certain dietary instructions and have their kidney function and phosphate levels checked to see how their body reacts. This study could help improve our understanding of phosphate management in different groups, which is important for healthy aging and kidney health.
