Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Dialysis removes potentially harmful chemicals from the blood but can also remove potentially valuable chemicals. One potentially valuable chemical called ergothioneine, which comes from our diet, is low in the blood of people receiving dialysis. For this research study, we hope to learn how well a daily ergothioneine supplement will replenish the levels in the blood of people with kidney failure.

Ergothioneine

Ergothioneine (range 5 mg to 25 mg) oral daily for up to 16 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ergothioneine

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

This is a 1-arm study in which participants will take ergothioneine daily with dose range of 5 mg to 25 mg daily. Blood levels of ergothioneine will be monitored while taking daily ergothioneine and after ergothioneine is stopped.
