Abstract

The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide along with aging of populations. Chronic kidney disease rises the burden of health providers budgets both by rising the cost of renal replacement therapy, and of cardiologic invasive procedures. Thus early detection of CKD and implementation of nephroprotection and cardioprotection therapy is crucial. Among nonpharmacological interventions nutritional management, appropriate for the sick organism, plays the important role. Proper diet sustains good nutritional status, slows renal damage and prevents metabolic disturbances that increase the cardiovascular system injury. This review describes recommended dietary nutrient intake for CKD patients in various stages of the disease.
