Cross-sectional study comparing CKD patients with very low protein diet and controls. All patients carried out very low protein diet, averagely 6.7 years. Daily protein intake was 0.39, 0.55, 1.17 and 1.25 g/kg b.wt., respectively. The serum biochemistry data showed no difference with controls, except for the BUN and Cr of CKD group
