High-fat dairy products may decrease the risk of chronic kidney disease incidence: A long-term prospective cohort study
The association between consumption of dairy products and risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is under debate. We aimed to determine the potential effects of total and subtypes of dairy intake on the occurrence of CKD. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Handgrip Strength Index: a Novel Parameter which quantifies clinical weakness in people on haemodialysis.
This study aims to define a novel parameter, HGS index, which quantifies degree of clinical weakness specific to a haemodialysis population and to test if this predicts survival. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

The New Nordic Renal Diet induces a pronounced reduction of urine acid excretion and uremic toxins in CKD patients (stage 3 and 4)
Metabolic acidosis and the uremic toxins, indoxyl sulphate (IS) and p-cresyl sulphate (PCS), are associated with increased risks of kidney disease progression, muscle catabolism, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The New Nordic Renal Diet (NNRD) is a plant focused meal pattern, with reduced phosphorus and protein content compared to an average Danish diet. Due to a higher amount of plant-based products, we hypothesized that NNRD would reduce renal excretion of acids and uremic toxins. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Planetary Health, Nutrition, and Chronic Kidney Disease: Connecting the Dots for a Sustainable Future
The increasing consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) and the global chain of food production have a negative impact on human health and planetary health. These foods have been replacing the consumption of nonprocessed healthy foods. This shift has not only worsened human health by increasing the risk of the development of noncommunicable diseases, but also resulted in environmental perturbations. This review aims to bring awareness of the problems caused by the industrialized food production chain, addressing the negative effects it has on the environment and human health, with special reference to chronic kidney disea...

Vitamin needs and treatment for chronic kidney disease patients
This paper summarizes the biochemistry, metabolism and dietary needs of vitamins in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney transplant recipients. Evidence indicate that the dietary intake, in vivo synthesis, urinary excretion or metabolism of different vitamins may be substantially altered in kidney failure. There are discrepancies in vitamin status assessment depending on whether the assay is functional or measuring the blood vitamin level. Whether vitamin supplements should be routinely prescribed for patients with CKD is controversial. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Relation of Liver Siderosis to Liver Fibrosis in Hemodialysis Patients with Severe Hyperferritinemia Secondary to High Doses of Intravenous Iron Supplementation
Aggressive iron substitution in hemodialysis (HD) patients leads to iron overload. The association between liver siderosis and fibrosis is still debatable. We studied the association of liver siderosis with liver fibrosis in HD patients. Furthermore, we studied the performance of liver stiffness measurements in identifying advanced liver fibrosis. We investigated the performance of biochemical indicators of iron status in identifying advanced liver fibrosis. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Economic Analysis of a Ketoanalogue-Supplemented Very Low-Protein Diet in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in Taiwan and Thailand
A vegetarian very low-protein diet supplemented with ketoanalogues of essential amino acids (sVLPD) delays dialysis initiation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this cost-effectiveness analysis, we compare an sVLPD with a conventional low-protein diet (LPD) in patients with CKD stage 4 –5 using data from Taiwan and Thailand.

Influence of malnutrition on the improvement of physical function by intradialytic resistance exercise in patients undergoing hemodialysis
Intradialytic exercise improves physical function. However, malnutrition may be an essential factor affecting the effectiveness of exercise to improve physical function. Few studies of the relationship between malnutrition and the effectiveness of intradialytic exercise to improve physical function exist. Therefore, this study investigated malnutrition at the beginning of intradialytic exercise and how it affects the subsequent improvement in physical function. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)
