Brief summary

Prospective randomized contorl study.Comparing clinical outcome between chronic kidney disease who were prescribed 6% low-protein nutrition supplement along with dietatian regular nutrition education and those without oral nutrition supplement.

Detailed description

Past studies have shown that supplementation with low-protein nutritional formulas helps to increase compliance with low-protein diet control, but few studies have explored low-protein nutritional formulas supplementing the calories chronic kidney disease patient need, and nutritional supplements rich in ω-3 fatty acids, vitamin D and essential amino acid having effect in chronic renal function and changes in muscle mass, strength, and mobility. The propose of this study that low protein supplement may help maintain renal function or delay deterioration of renal function, or may reduce the risk of malnutrition and further improve muscle strength and mobility or quality of life.
