The effect of preoperative carbohydrate intake on length of stay and postoperative recovery following laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy
The objective of this study was to identify whether living kidney donors who received preoperative oral carbohydrates experienced a difference in length of hospital stay (LOS), duration of time required to resume regular oral food and fluid intake, and incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) complications following laparoscopic nephrectomy compared to historical control donors who underwent preoperative fasting.

Nutritional Adequacy of Essential Nutrients in Low Protein Animal-Based and Plant-Based Diets in the United States for Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
The nutritional adequacy of both animal-based and plant-based low protein diets (LPDs) and moderate protein diets that are recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease have not been well examined. We therefore analyzed the nutrient content of three representative LPDs and moderate protein diets (lacto-ovo vegetarian, omnivorous, and vegan) containing foods that are likely to be prescribed for nondialyzed chronic kidney disease or chronic dialysis patients in the United States to determine the nutritional adequacy at different levels of protein intake.

Nutritional adequacy of essential nutrients in low proten animal- and plant-based diets in the united states for chronic kidney disease patients
The nutritional adequacy of both animal-based and plant-based low protein diets (LPDs) and moderate protein diets (MPDs) that are recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have not been well examined. We therefore analyzed the nutrient content of three representative LPDs and MPDs (lacto-ovo vegetarian, omnivorous, and vegan) containing foods that are likely to be prescribed for non-dialyzed CKD or chronic dialysis patients in the United States to determine the nutritional adequacy at different levels of protein intake.

Soy protein as a part of a low-protein diet is a new direction in cardio- and nephroprotection in patients with 3b-4 stages of chronic kidney disease.
It has been established that the use of a low-protein diet (LPD) in combination with ketoanalogues of essential amino acids (KA) can contribute to cardio and nephroprotection in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Moreover, it has been shown that partial replacement of the animal protein with soy protein (SP) in the diet contributed to more pronounced nephro and cardioprotection in CKD, however, the data, available in the literature, are mainly represented by experimental studies.

Chronic kidney disease is associated with attenuated plasma metabolome response to oral glucose tolerance testing
CKD is associated with decreased anabolic response to insulin contributing to protein-energy wasting. Targeted metabolic profiling of oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) may help identify metabolic pathways contributing to disruptions to insulin response in CKD. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)
