Study Summary
Individuals on dialysis due to kidney failure have very prescriptive diets. These diets help increase dialysis effectiveness and help patients control blood levels of electrolytes including potassium and phosphate, acid-base balance, blood pressure, and fluid between dialysis treatments. However, patient compliance with these diets often can be very low, and one reason for this low compliance is disguesia (abnormal taste sensations) which can make the diets unpalatable. This experiment tests the hypothesis that disguesia, and subsequent lack of adherence to a dialysis friendly diet, is a result of either vascular taste (tasting your own blood through the basolateral side of taste cells) or altered chemical composition of saliva in between dialysis appointments. However, to study these hypotheses, data are needed on the types of substances that may contribute to the disguesia. Substances for which the concentration is influenced by kidney function (in healthy people) or dialysis (in patients) are the prime candidates for the disguesia under our hypotheses. Thus, this experiment tests whether taste or flavours experienced from sodium, calcium, potassium, creatinine, urea, phosphates, glutamate, and iron may be related to altered taste experienced by patients on dialysis.
