The dietary management of calcium and phosphate in children with CKD stages 2-5 and on dialysis —clinical practice recommendation from the Pediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce

We present CPRs for the dietary intake of Ca and P in children with CKD stages 2 –5 and on dialysis (CKD2-5D), describing the common Ca- and P-containing foods, the assessment of dietary Ca and P intake, requirements for Ca and P in healthy children and necessary modifications for children with CKD2-5D, and dietary management of hypo- and hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. T he statements have been graded, and statements with a low grade or those that are opinion-based must be carefully considered and adapted to individual patient needs based on the clinical judgment of the treating physician and dietitian. These CPRs will be regularly audited and updated by the PRNT.
