Energy and protein requirements for children with CKD stages 2-5 and on dialysis –clinical practice recommendations from the Pediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce

We describe how to achieve the dietary prescription for energy and protein using breastmilk, formulas, food, and dietary supplements, which can be incorporated into everyday practice. Statements with a low grade of evidence, or based on opinion, must be considered and adapted for the individual patient by the treating physician and dietitian according to their clin ical judgment. Research recommendations have been suggested. The CPRs will be regularly audited and updated by the PRNT.
