Abstract

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet lowers blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk. In this issue, Banerjee et al. report that the DASH diet is associated with lower risk of end-stage kidney disease in individuals with stage 3 chronic kidney disease and hypertension. This association was particulary strong among those with diabetes. The DASH diet may have an important role in preventing end-stage kidney disease in select individuals with chronic kidney disease.
