Kidney Nutrition and Metabolism

Dear Colleagues,

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in the prevention and management of kidney disease, and there is growing recognition of its impact on metabolic health and disease progression. The interplay between kidney function, nutrient metabolism, and dietary interventions is complex and evolving, warranting deeper investigation. This Special Issue will focus on the critical nexus of kidney nutrition and metabolism, highlighting the latest advances in nutritional science, dietary strategies, and metabolic regulation in both acute and chronic kidney conditions. Topics will include nutrient handling in kidney disease, the role of dietary patterns and specific nutrients, nutritional assessment tools, and the impact of diet on inflammation, oxidative stress, and cardiovascular risk in this population. We also welcome studies on novel therapeutic approaches, including precision nutrition and plant-based diets, and their influence on clinical outcomes. By gathering interdisciplinary research from the nephrology, nutrition, and metabolic science fields, this issue aims to inform clinical practice, support evidence-based dietary recommendations, and inspire innovative strategies to improve patient care and quality of life for individuals with kidney disease.

This Special Issue of Nutrients entitled “Kidney Nutrition and Metabolism” welcomes original research articles and reviews of the literature concerning this important topic.
