Abstract:
Kidney disease, especially chronic kidney disease (CKD), has become a global public health issue, seriously endangering human health and resulting in considerable economic and social burden. Medical nutrition therapy (MNT), which can delay the progression of CKD to end-stage renal disease, plays a crucial role in the treatment of CKD. Among MNT types, oral nutritional supplement (ONS) is advantageous in terms of safety, efficacy, and high patient compliance. When patients with kidney disease experience insufficient oral nutritional intake, ONS is the first choice of nutritional supplements. ONS-related research and development should be based on the results of medical and nutritional studies, and the safety and clinical application of ONS need to be scientifically verified. Guidelines and expert consensus statements issued by authoritative organizations form an important basis for the formula design of ONS products. Therefore, comparison and analysis of nutritional recommendations in domestic (i.e., Chinese) and international guidelines and consensus statements for patients at different stages of kidney disease are necessary to provide reference for the development of specific nutritional products for kidney disease and to promote the prevention and treatment of nutrition-related chronic diseases.
