Low protein diet with personalized support in advanced chronic kidney disease: association with disease progression, dialysis delay and mortality
When offered the option of an LPD, >60% of patients agreed to and followed it. Choosing an LPD was associated with improved patient and renal survival. While this retrospective study cannot establish a causal relationship, our data provide reassurance regarding feasibility and suggest potential advantages of offering LPDs to unselected patients with CKD who choose this dietary approach.
