This third edition of this text is organized into seven sections
that address the educational needs of dietitians around the world
who seek current information about nutritional management of
chronic kidney disease (CKD). Part I addresses the differences in
the epidemiology of CKD and renal replacement therapy worldwide,
such as environmental, ethnic, cultural, political and
macroeconomic factors. Part II includes a thorough review of the
components of the nutrition assessment, which includes information
about psychosocial issues affecting nutritional status in kidney
disease and drug-nutrient interactions, and parts III and IV review
preventative strategies for common disorders associated with CKD
such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular
disease are provided, and current evidence-based treatment
recommendations for the nutrition management of non-dialyzed,
dialyzed and transplanted adults are addressed. Part V presents the
nutritional concerns of CKD populations with special needs (i.e.,
pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adolescence and the elderly). The
nutrition management of other disorders associated with kidney
disease are covered in Part VI; these include protein-energy
wasting and the inflammatory response, bone and mineral disorders,
nephrotic syndrome, nephrolithiasis, and acute kidney injury.
Lastly, Part VII is devoted to cutting-edge research on topics of
concern in nutrition in kidney disease such as the gut microbiome
including pre- and probiotics, appetite regulation, advanced
glycation end products, physical activity and structured exercise,
and dietary patterns including plant-based diets. When appropriate,
the new clinical practice guidelines in nutrition for individuals
with CKD are integrated into the chapters. The third edition of
Nutrition in Kidney Disease will be a highly informative resource
for nephrologists, nutrition scientists, nutritionists, and
researchers and students whose research, practice, and education
includes nutrition and kidney disease.
