What is the effect of protein restriction with a VLPD and KAA supplementation on energy and electrolyte mineral intake in adults with CKD 3-5D?
- Conclusion
  It is unclear if a very low protein diet (VLPD) supplemented with keto acid analog (KAA) is associated with a reduced energy intake. A very low protein intake (0.3 g/kg/day) supplemented with KAA is associated with a lower phosphate intake, a lower salt intake whereas calcium intake is unchanged.
