Abstract
A protein-restricted diet with keto/amino acids (KA) supplement showed favorable effects on delayed renal replacement therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease. This is an open, prospective, randomized, and multi-center study. A total of 67 patients were randomly assigned into two groups. LPD+KA group was advised to take less than 0.6 g/kg/day of protein with KAs. LPD group was advised to consume less than 0.6 g/kg/day protein. Nutritional and clinical parameters were evaluated at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Nutritional status represented as body mass index, mid-arm circumference and triceps skin-fold thickness was not different between the two groups at 3months and 6 months. Ca×P product level measured at 3 months was lower in the LPD+KA group than in the LPD group (LPD+KA group: 33.5±5.0 vs. LPD group: 36.9±7.9 mg 2 /dL 2 , p
