Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CKD is an increasingly important issue, with a critical impact on all countries’ health systems.
To counteract this alarming reality, in addition to better controlling some well-recognized CKD-causative pathological conditions (diabetes, obesity, hypertension), there is growing evidence that dietary habit and lifestyle interventions can substantially impact not only general physical conditions but also specifically kidney health.
Health workers and epidemiologists are aware that the quality and quantity of any component of the diet can positively or negatively affect kidney health and that these effects are active over a person’s entire life, starting from early intrauterine life, where diet is dependent on the mother’s dietary habits, potentially leading to long-term repercussions.
In this Special Issue of Nutrients, we will address the many aspects of correct and incorrect dietary behaviors. In particular, we will ask scholars with expertise in this field to contribute experimental or observational studies, reviews of the literature, or meta-analyses of the available data to this Special Issue.
In particular, we will consider any contribution dealing with the role of the usual main dietary components (e.g., protein, carbohydrates, lipids, electrolytes, alcohol, and water consumption, etc.), diet supplementations (e.g., vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc.), the consumption of herbal components, probiotics, and prebiotic prescriptions in potential positive, negative, or neutral kidney function in the healthy subjects.
