Plasma Metabolomics of Dietary Intake of Protein-Rich Foods and Kidney Disease Progression in Children

There is inconsistent evidence on the efficacy of a low-protein diet for CKD patients and recommending a low-protein diet for pediatric patients is controversial. There is also a lack of objective biomarkers of dietary intake. The purpose of this study was to identify plasma metabolites associated with dietary intake of protein and to assess whether protein-related metabolites are associated with CKD progression.
