Soaking to reduce potassium and phosphorus content of foods
To achieve and maintain normal serum potassium and phosphorus levels reducing potassium and phosphorus intake is frequently recommended for adults living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Exploring food preparation methods to reduce potassium and phosphorus content appears warranted. The study aim was to determine the impact of soaking foods in hot water on potassium and phosphorus content in a variety of plant and animal-based foods. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Plant or animal-based or PLADO diets: Which should chronic kidney disease patients choose?
Nutrition therapy is the cornerstone treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD). While much attention has been given to dietary protein intake in CKD patients, many findings now demonstrate that type of dietary protein intake may be more critical for CKD patients. In protein bioavailability and malnutrition prevention, many physicians recommend that CKD patients adhere to a low-protein diet(LPD) and restrict their plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and soybeans. However, Nephrologists should not ignore the potential benefits of plant foods for CKD patients. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Low-Plasma Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Associates With Increased Mortality in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients With Reduced Muscle Strength
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to metabolic and nutritional abnormalities including resistance to insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) action, and reduced muscle mass and strength. Low IGF-1 as well as low hand-grip muscle strength (HGS) are independent predictors of increased mortality in CKD patients. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Residual renal phosphate clearance in patients receiving hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration
Substantial levels of residual renal clearance and urine output may occur in patients treated with hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration. However, the relationships among residual renal urea, creatinine, and phosphate clearances, respectively, and between clearances and urine volume have not been well described.

Message From the Council of Renal Nutrition Chair
I have been working with chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients for 30 years. I have learned a great deal from many of my patients. They remind me why I have chosen this profession: because I firmly believe that good eating is very important for good health. Nephrology, although challenging, is a very fulfilling and exciting specialty. However, it saddens me a lot nowadays that many of my patients could have made some changes earlier in their lives, when their kidney disease was just beginning. I wish they would have visited healthcare professionals earlier. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)
