Scheduled Maintenance: Saturday, May 4th, starting at 8PM EST
We will be upgrading some systems and expect the maintenance to last no more than 2 hours. During the maintenance window, you will not have access to this portal.

CKD: Dietary Intake (2018)

Assessment
Is there evidence to support the use of food records or 24-hr recall for assessing dietary protein or energy intake in adults with CKD 1-5D and post-transplant?
- Conclusion
  There is limited evidence demonstrating that food records/dairy can be valid tools to assess dietary intake in patients with CKD. However, validity of tools is dependent on factors such as: patient ability, tool administrator, tool used etc. Further research is needed to validate the use of specific tools in chronic kidney patients.
- Grade: III
  - Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
  - Grade II is Fair;
  - Grade III is Limited/Weak;
  - Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
  - Grade V is Not Assignable.
  - High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
  - Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
  - Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
  - Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
  - Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.

Is there evidence to support the use of FFQ for assessing protein or energy intake in adults with CKD 1-5D and post-transplant?
- Conclusion
  There is no clear evidence to state that Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) are a validated tool to assess dietary intake in patients with CKD. Further research is needed to validate their use in chronic kidney patients.

  - Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;

Is there evidence to support the use of PNA/PCR for assessing dietary protein intake in adults with CKD 1-5D and post-transplant?
- Conclusion
  There is no clear evidence to state that PNA/PCR is a validated method to assess protein intake in chronic kidney patients. However, it may be a useful measure of net protein degradation. Further research is needed to validate use of PCR for dietary assessment in patients with CKD.
