Dietary interventions that aim to delay progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and decrease disease-associated mortality have a pivotal role in the management of CKD. Here, the authors discuss key studies that have investigated the effects of dietary salt, protein, fruits and vegetables, water and alcohol consumption in patients with CKD, and describe appropriate evidence-based dietary strategies that could prevent, or delay the progression of CKD.
