Ten tips on how to manage obesity in the presence of CKD

Nadine Kaesler et al. Clin Kidney J. .

Abstract

Patients with chronic kidney disease are frequently facing the challenge of weight reduction. Finding a weight loss strategy is on the one hand essential to reduce the co-morbidity risks in CKD but remains complex due to the metabolic abnormalities with declining renal function. Here, we provide ten tips to support our CKD patients on their journey, focussing on dietary and behavioural habits and health professional supportive therapies.

Keywords: chronic kidney disease; personalized nutrition; weight loss diet.
