Low‐protein diet for chronic kidney disease: Evidence, controversies, and practical guidelines

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract The benefits of a low‐protein diet (LPD) in patients with altered kidney function remain controversial. Dietary intake studies are inherently complex and may present numerous biases that must be understood and controlled. Due to these challenges, the scientific evidence in this area remains limited and is subject to dispute.
