Optimal nutrition for predialysis chronic kidney disease.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to determine whether dietary calcium restriction could minimize vascular calcification in advanced CKD patients.
Results Summary
The study suggested that dietary calcium restriction might help minimize vascular calcification in advanced CKD, but did not provide specific data on the magnitude of this effect.

Diet potentially plays a major role in the progression and complications of predialysis CKD. Moderate protein consumption along with a diet low in sodium might slow kidney disease progression. Increasing vegetable protein intake might decrease serum phosphorus, uremic toxins, and kidney damage. Because obesity might be an important factor in the increasing prevalence of CKD, dietary strategies targeting obesity might also benefit CKD progression. In those with more advanced CKD, dietary calcium and phosphorus restriction could minimize vascular calcification. Dietary fiber and vitamin D supplementation might also be important to decrease inflammation in CKD.
