High rates of protein intake are associated with an accelerated rate of decline of residual kidney function in incident peritoneal dialysis patients
(Oxford Academic, 2019-01-04)
[Abstract]
Background
Preservation of residual kidney function (RKF) is a relevant objective in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The influence of dietary protein intake (PI) on this variable has not been adequately ...
