The New Nordic Renal Diet induces a pronounced reduction of urine acid excretion and uremic toxins in CKD patients (stage 3 and 4)
Metabolic acidosis and the uremic toxins, indoxyl sulphate (IS) and p-cresyl sulphate (PCS), are associated with increased risks of kidney disease progression, muscle catabolism, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The New Nordic Renal Diet (NNRD) is a plant focused meal pattern, with reduced phosphorus and protein content compared to an average Danish diet. Due to a higher amount of plant-based products, we hypothesized that NNRD would reduce renal excretion of acids and uremic toxins.
