The effects of different nutritional interventions to slow progression of CKD. Schematic representation of reno-protective mechanisms related to protein and diet restriction. These effects can be synergistic with the mechanisms of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers, which dilate the efferent arteriole and reduce intraglomerular pressure and glomerular damage. Adapted from Kalantar-Zadeh and Fouque (5). CKD, chronic kidney disease; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; TGF-β, transforming growth factor beta.
