Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutritional management is essential for the prevention and treatment of kidney disease. Traditionally, the main focus of nutritional management for kidney disease has been to restrict salt, calories, glucose, proteins, lipids, potassium, phosphate, etc. However, various nutrients are important for maintaining kidney function, and excessive restriction or disruption of nutrient balance may worsen the prognosis of kidney disease patients. In recent years, kidney disease patients have become more complex due to aging and comorbidities, and more appropriate nutritional management methods are needed. Furthermore, acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease may require different nutritional management. For this Special Issue, we would like to discuss the clinical and basic topics that will help maintain normal function and metabolism in the kidney and that will develop new nutritional management methods to improve the prognosis of kidney disease patients (including dialysis and kidney transplant patients).
This Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled “Nutritional Management in Kidney Disease”, welcomes original research and reviews of the literature concerning this important topic.
