Registered dietitian nutritionists have the ability to preserve kidney function through creative and personalized outreach to global populations. RDNs were part of the landmark Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study which produced evidence-based practice strategies for reducing disease progression through dietary protein strategies. Focused modification and awareness of cultural eating patterns help address the preservation of kidney function in global communities where medical therapy for kidney failure is not available or too expensive. Plant-based cultural food patterns exist throughout the world for ages. Our three dynamic speakers, each with a unique global and cultural expertise, will inspire the audience with hands-on plant-based nutrition strategies to address the preservation of kidney function.
