Keto-Analogues: Slowing chronic kidney disease progression with nutrition
Chronic kidney disease, or CKD, is irreversible and can be accompanied by lifestyle and dietary changes – and yet, for those affected, adapting their nutrition often remains critical. Slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease calls for special diets and nutritional supplements. A combination of essential amino acids and keto-analogues of essential amino acids has proven effective, aiming to limit the amount of protein in the diet while meeting the need for essential amino acids and ameliorating uremic symptoms. Especially in advanced stages of CKD, this diet can be crucial and slow down the progression of the disease.6
