A restriction in phosphorus intake is essential to slow down the development of renal disease, Feeding a diet with an adapted fish oil (source EPA/DHA) content may help to improve the glomerular filtration rate.
• Increased kidney workload may induce uraemic crisis. An adapted content of high quality protein helps reduce kidney workload. Feeding protein well in excess of the minimum requirements leads to the generation of nitrogen waste products, which accumulate in the body fluids when renal excretory capacities are reduced.
