Protecting Kidneys Through a Low Protein Diet: A Stepwise Multiple-Choice System Approach
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Nephrology care continues to progress and recommendations are now focused on delaying as much as possible the need for renal replacement therapy ("intent-to-defer"strategy). Protein restriction is a valuable tool for stabilizing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and retarding the need for renal replacement therapy, but the best diet to be prescribed is still matter of discussion. This study is aimed at identifying implementation strategies for nutritional management of advanced CKD.
