The role of dietary acid load on progression of estimated glomerular filtration rate among individuals diagnosed with chronic kidney disease
Individuals with CKD are at an increased risk for developing metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis has been shown to worsen kidney function and exacerbate systemic inflammation. Diets high in protein foods can exacerbate metabolic acidosis as protein foods tend to be more acidic, while fruits and vegetables are more alkalotic. The main objective of this systematic review was to determine if higher consumption of fruits and vegetables in adults with CKD stages 1-5 reduces the rate of decline of eGFR.

A systematic review of online resources for the dietary management of hyperphosphatemia in people with chronic kidney disease
Internet search engines and social media websites are prominent and growing sources of dietary information for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their healthcare providers. However, nutrition therapy for CKD is undergoing a paradigm shift, which may lead to inconsistent advice for managing hyperphosphatemia. The aim of this study was to summarize and evaluate online resources for phosphorus-specific nutrition therapy. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Dietitians Play a Crucial and Expanding Role in Renal Nutrition and Medical Nutrition Therapy
Nutrition is an important component in the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nutrition interventions, when performed by a dietitian, have the potential to improve quality of life and outcomes, slow the progression of CKD, and mitigate common complications in patients undergoing kidney replacement therapy.1,2 Recognizing the critical role of the dietitian in translating science into practice and the high-level of dietitian participation in the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM), it was proposed at the 6th International Congress for Renal Nutrition and Metabolism in 1991, ...

Practical Use of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Chronic Kidney Disease-Associated Pruritus
Regulatory and clinical stakeholders are increasingly advocating for the use of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures; however, the use of PROs is still not widespread. Patient reports are often the best ways to diagnose and monitor the effect of treatment on symptoms when the symptoms are subjective, as with pruritus. While many PRO tools are available to assess the severity of pruritus and its impact on quality of life (e.g., sleep), these are not used in a consistent manner and their results may not translate into clinical action.
