Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined by the presence of abnormalities in kidney structure and/or function for at least three months. A decline in renal function tends to progress toward end-stage renal disease in many patients, with timings and modalities that vary according to the underlying causes and concomitant diseases, as well as lifestyles and diets.
Nutritional therapy has a fundamental role in the prevention of CKD progression. In particular, a low-protein diet has been demonstrated to reduce hyperfiltration in the residual functioning nephrons and proteinuria. A proper dietary regimen also contributes to preventing and/or controlling the signs, symptoms and complications of CKD, including sodium and fluid retention, arterial hypertension, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia and metabolic acidosis, simultaneously preventing protein–caloric malnutrition. Several dietary regimens have been proposed for this purpose, but the most successful diet plan with which to control CKD progression is still a matter of debate.
Considering the success of the previous Special Issue entitled "Nutrition and Metabolism in Kidney Diseases", we are pleased to announce that we are launching a second Special Issue on this topic.
This Special Issue is open for original articles and reviews focusing on nutrition and metabolism in patients with CKD on both conservative and dialysis treatments. The aim is to examine the current state of research and propose potential advances in knowledge to ameliorate the management and improve the clinical outcomes in CKD patients.
