Three dietary measures are useful for chronic progressive renal failure. In a hypertensive patient, salt restriction is a prerequisite for antihypertensive therapy. Protein restriction to 0.6 g/kg of body weight per day can slow down progression of renal disease with the exception of polycystic disease of the adult type. Ketosteril can be given for prevention of essential amino acid deficiency. A normalization of serum phosphorus is essential for slowing progression of disease as well as bone metabolism. Therefore, a diet reduced in phosphates, supported by phosphate binders is prescribed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006977	Hypertension, Renal	Persistent high BLOOD PRESSURE due to KIDNEY DISEASES, such as those involving the renal parenchyma, the renal vasculature, or tumors that secrete RENIN.	Hypertensions, Renal,Renal Hypertension,Renal Hypertensions
D007676	Kidney Failure, Chronic	The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
