JBI Database System Rev Implement Rep. 2017 Dec;15(12):2861-2865. doi: 10.11124/JBISRIR-2016-003186.

Abstract

The objective of this review is to evaluate studies to determine the effect of a low-protein, vegetarian diet as compared to a low-protein, animal-based diet on estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
