The "renal diet" has undergone a transformation over the past few years. Emerging evidence has shown that foods previously excluded from the diet, like fruits and vegetables, not only may not be problematic in patients with kidney disease but also may be beneficial. These foods have intrinsic factors that reduce potassium and phosphorus absorption. In addition, plant foods may help treat renal-related conditions like metabolic acidosis, hypertension, and proteinuria. The lower, but not deficient, protein content of plant-based diets may also slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. Attendees will be able to understand the growing benefits of plant-based diets for kidney disease.
