Abstract

Objective A low-protein diet is essential for the nutritional management of chronic kidney diseases as it can reduce renal burden. However, the effect of low-protein diets on dialysis patients compared to pre-dialysis patients remains unclear. This study aims to compare residual renal function among dialysis patients following a low-protein diet versus a normal diet, offering valuable insights into the optimal nutritional strategy for preserving residual renal function.
