Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the impact of low-protein diets (LPD) on kidney function and overall health in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 and 5.
- It involved 325 patients, categorized into four groups based on their daily protein intake, and monitored outcomes such as the initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) and mortality over an average follow-up of 4.1 years.
- Results indicated that a non-supplemented LPD of 0.5 g/kg/day or less was associated with a lower risk of needing RRT and reduced all-cause mortality in these patients.
