Effects of Plant-Based Protein Consumption on Kidney Function and Mineral Bone Disorder Outcomes in Adults with Stage 3-5 Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review
Plant-based protein is of growing interest for dietary management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is hypothesized to preserve kidney function and reduce CKD-mineral bone disorder (MBD) complications among other benefits. This systematic review aimed to summarize the available clinical trial evidence for the effect of plant-based protein on kidney function and CKD-MBD outcomes in adults with stage 3-5 CKD not on dialysis.

Deconstructing disease-related malnutrition: A new assessment framework for clinical practice
Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is a key cause of functional impairment and poor health outcomes in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). While PEW can be mitigated with nutrition therapy, it is a complex myriad of disorders with numerous interacting etiologies, and corresponding presentations, which make it difficult to diagnose and manage in practice. A variety of scoring rubrics have been developed to facilitate malnutrition assessment. Although these tools have greatly benefited the recognition and treatment of PEW, the typical format of grading specified PEW indicators has the potential to overlook or overstate highl...

The Association Of Malnutrition With Chronic Kidney Disease In The Older Chinese Population With Hypertension: Evidence From the China H-type hypertension registry study
Current evidence of the dose-response association between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is limited. Hence, this study aimed to determine the association between GNRI and CKD in the elderly Chinese population with hypertension. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Differential prognostic utility of adiposity measures in chronic kidney disease
Adipose tissue contributes to adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but there is uncertainty regarding the prognostic relevance of different adiposity measures. We analyzed the associations of neck circumference (NC), waist circumference (WC), and body mass index (BMI) with clinical outcomes in patients with mild to severe CKD.

Are Digital Health Technologies and Models of Nutrition Care the Future of Chronic Kidney Disease Management?
People living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) require long-term support at varying levels of individualization, intensity, and frequency. Mobile and digital models of nutrition care can facilitate long-term behavior change, address nutrition issues proactively, reduce travel burden, and reach people without access to health care more easily. However, while traditional health delivery continues to be digitally disrupted, there are many barriers to address before mobile and digitally supported models of nutrition care can become business as usual in nephrology and nutrition care practice.

Muscle Sodium Accumulation in Kidney Failure: Physiological Impact and Mitigation Strategies
Skeletal muscle has recently been recognized as a nonosmotic sodium reservoir that buffers dietary sodium. The in-vivo quantification of muscle sodium is based on a novel technology, sodium magnetic resonance imaging (23Na-MRI). Studies using this technology have shown that muscle sodium accumulation may be a clinical complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This review aims to summarize existing evidence on muscle sodium accumulation in patients with CKD and to identify knowledge gaps and topics for further research. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Childhood obesity is considered one of the important risk factors for many long-term morbidities. However, the long-term consequences of childhood obesity on kidney function are largely unknown. This systematic review was designed to sum up evidences for the long-term consequences of childhood obesity on kidney function in midlife. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)
