Overview
Brief Summary
This study is to assess the effect of 48 weeks administration of Renamezin capsule on prevention of sarcopenia in pre-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease.
Detailed Description
Skeletal muscle atrophy, referred to as sarcopenia, and impaired physical performance are accompanied in chronic kidney disease patients during disease progression. Decreased physical performance derived from sarcopenia precipitates poor prognostic influence in the clinical outcome, as reported in previous studies showing correlations between poor physical performance, poor quality of life, poor renal prognosis, and mortality. Therefore, maintaining physical performance is mandatory to improve the prognosis of chronic kidney disease patients.
AST-120 is an oral absorbent capsule designed to remove circulating indoxyl sulfate, a uremic toxin. As indoxyl sulfate is reported to cause mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle, AST-120 contributes to the recovery of mitochondrial function by reducing indoxyl sulfate. In addition, AST-120 is reported to delay the initiation of dialysis and the decrease of glomerular filtration rate and the increase of serum creatinine level. However, the effect of AST-120 on sarcopenia in pre-dialysis patients have not been reported. This study is to investigate the effect of AST-120 on sarcopenia prevention in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients.

Arms & Interventions
Renamezin
oral treatment duration: three times a day, 7 capsules (2g) once, for 48 weeks
Intervention: Renamezin (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change of 6 meter walking speed at 24 weeks
Time Frame: Change of baseline 6 meter walking speed at 24 weeks
As a measure of physical performance, 6 meter walking test is used. Static start and dynamic start speed will be assessed twice each.
Change of 6 meter walking speed at 48 weeks
Time Frame: Change of baseline 6 meter walking speed at 48 weeks
As a measure of physical performance, 6 meter walking test is used. Static start and dynamic start speed will be assessed twice each.
