Abstract

Dietary management may significantly impact the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

  • Limiting intake of potassium, phosphorus, and salt is essential in managing CKD.
  • Restricting dietary protein could help slow kidney damage, though this remains debated.
  • Healthy dietary choices may influence inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with moderate to advanced CKD.
  • Evidence addressing malnutrition and protein-energy wasting before dialysis initiation is currently limited.
