Patiromer and Diet/hrQoL in Chronic Dialysis

Randomized patients will receive one 8.4 g packet of patiromer per day or one identical packet containing a placebo. To minimize the possibility of interference with gastrointestinal absorption of other orally administered medications, administration of patiromer will be separated by at least 3 hours from other oral medicinal products. Throughout the whole study period, the study drug will be administered every day in the morning.
