The data?
• Inconsistent
• J Curve
• Increased risk of CVD at >5g and <3g
Recommendation:
<4g for management of CKD
<3g for management of fluid retention or proteinuria
Potassium
High plasma phosphorus has been associated with increased kidney disease in healthy
individuals
Recommendation: <800mg

CKD diets higher in plant based protein associated with better outcomes
