Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutritional management is a cornerstone in the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases. This Special Issue, “Nutritional Intake and Dietary Intervention for Patients With Kidney Disease” aims to gather high-quality research and comprehensive reviews addressing the complex interplay between diet, metabolism and renal function. Contributions are invited on topics such as dietary assessment, individualized nutritional strategies, body composition and the role of macro- and micronutrients in modulating inflammation, oxidative stress, dietary approaches on clinical outcomes, such as preservation of renal function and mortality. Particular attention will be given to emerging areas such as dietary patterns, plant-based diets, microbiota, digital monitoring tools, artificial intelligence and novel approaches to optimize nutritional care across different stages of chronic kidney disease, dialysis and transplant.
This Special Issue seeks to enhance understanding of effective nutritional interventions and their impact on clinical outcomes and quality of life in patients with kidney disease.
