Correlations of dietary energy and protein intakes with renal function impairment in chronic kidney disease patients with or without diabetes
Dietary energy and protein intake can affect progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD complicated with diabetes is often associated with a decline in renal function. We investigated the relative importance of dietary energy intake (DEI) and dietary protein intake (DPI) to renal function indicators in nondiabetic and diabetic CKD patients. A total of 539 Stage 3e5 CKD patients [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ...
