Brief summary

The KDOQI 2020 - Clinical practice guideline for nutrition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) -recommends protein restriction to reduce the risk of end-stage renal disease/death and improve quality of life, a low protein diet providing 0.55-0.60g dietary protein/ kg body weight/day is recommended. FLAVIS® is a product line of hypoprotein foods specially developed for the treatment of CKD.The use of low-protein foods may facilitate the achievement of nutritional goals in terms of protein intake and help patients to follow a low-protein diet.

Interventions

OTHERConsumption of FLAVIS

Patients of the FLAVIS group will recevied FLAVIS products in addition to their diet follow-up.

Inclusion criteria

* CKD patient stage 3a-5 (\<60 ml/min/1.73 m² estimated by CKD-EPI formula) and not on dialysis, * With a good nutritional status (i.e., absence of malnutrition according to albumin, pre-albumine, BMI and no clinical and paraclinical criteria of malnutrition), * Above 1g protein/ kg bw (ideal body weight), * LPD-naïve patient, * Motivated to LPD introduction (ensure during screening phase patient willingness to modify diet habits with counselling accurate follow-up), * Available to attend the visits planned by the protocol and able to complete the data collection documents (diet record and self-administered questionnaires), * Subject affiliated to a health insurance system or is a beneficiary (art. L.1121-11, Code of Public Health, France), * Having given their informed written consent regarding its participation to the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

L. 1121-5 à 8 et L. 1122-1-2, Code of Public Health, France) are also excluded from the clinical trial.
