While dietary restriction of protein intake has long been proposed as a possible kidney-protective treatment, the effects of changes in the quality of ingested proteins on the prevalence and risk of progression of chronic kidney disease CKD have been scarcely studied; these two aspects are reviewed in the present article. The prevalence of hypertension, type… Read More »
