Abstract:
The nutrition care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a central question which is permanently studied. The benefits of a dietary protein restriction are once again enlightened, either by reducing the urea found to be hyperglycemic, thus improving the peripheric insulin sensitivity, or by decreasing phosphorus and FGF23 hormone, whose reductions are respectively associated with nephroprotection and diminution of cardiovascular events. The numerous researches conducted on the gut microbiota also open promising avenues to better understand the role of this ecosystem in CKD. Finally, the interest in incremental haemodialysis is revived, results show it may be associated with less loss of proteins and preservation of residual kidney function. The development of a nutritional score, informative of survival prediction, also offers the possibility to ensure a better follow-up of patients.
