Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Study group
Arm Description
All study participants are in the same group and will have their kidney function measured twice, before and after ingestion of protein, 1 g/(kg body weight). The protein will be given in the form of the protein drink Liquacel (Global Health Products, Rochester, NY).
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change in glomerular filtration rate after ingestion of protein
Short term-changes in the glomerular filtration rate will be measured before and after ingestion of oral protein
Secondary Outcome Measures
