This special issue focuses on low-protein diets as part of the “medical management” of CKD but is also open to other aspects of the clinical management of advanced CKD patients. We have made available, along with regular research and review papers, a series of practical strategies, counsels,...

IntroductionReducing protein intake is recommended for slowing chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, but assessment of its true effectiveness is sparse.MethodsUsing the Maroni formula, we assessed dietary protein intake (DPI) from 24-hour urinary urea excretion in 1594 patients (67% men and 3...
Prescribing a low-protein diet (LPD) is part of the standard management of patients in advanced stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, studies on the quality of life (QoL) of patients on LPDs are lacking, and the impact these diets have on their QoL is often given as a reason...
Low protein diets are a well-known tool for contrasting absolute or relative hyperfiltration in the case of nephrotic syndrome or diabetes, and in the remnant nephrons in CKD patients [14–16, 39–41]. Pregnancy is another well-acknowledged condition of physiological hyperfiltration, which may ...
Although combining a low-protein diet (LPD) with oral nutritional supplements increases treatment adherence and nutritional status in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the effect of this combination approach in older adults remains unclear. This study examined the impact of a 6% low-protein...
you have low kidney function — perhaps due to renal failure or a chronic kidney disease such as CKD — they may not remove it all. Urea buildup in your bloodstream can make you feel tired, and weak, and you may lose your appetite. That is why many renal disease diets limit protein....
Rigalleau et al87,88 also described increased insulin sensitivity, confirmed by insulin clamp studies, after patients with CKD changed from an unrestricted protein diet to KA/EAA-supplemented VLPDs. In the late 1970s, there were reports of patients with CKD treated with VLPDs supplemented with ...
The aim of the Probiotics-addicted Low-protein diet in Chronic Kidney Disease (ProLowCKD) protocol is to evaluate, among patients with advanced renal failure not on dialysis, the synergic effects of low protein diet and selected probiotics. 2.1. Primary outcome measures Reduction from baseline of...
