Part I delves into the diverse epidemiology of CKD and renal replacement therapy across different regions, encompassing environmental, ethnic, cultural, political, and macroeconomic factors. Part II provides a thorough examination of the components of nutrition assessment, encompassing psychosocial issues affecting nutritional status in kidney disease, as well as drug-nutrient interactions. Parts III and IV explore preventative strategies for common disorders associated with CKD, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, while also presenting current evidence-based treatment recommendations for non-dialyzed, dialyzed, and transplanted adults. Part V focuses on the nutritional concerns of CKD populations with specific needs, including pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and the elderly. Part VI covers the management of other disorders related to kidney disease, including protein-energy wasting, inflammatory response, bone and mineral disorders, nephrotic syndrome, nephrolithiasis, and acute kidney injury. Lastly, Part VII explores cutting-edge research on topics of relevance in nutrition in CKD, such as the gut microbiome, appetite regulation, advanced glycation end products, physical activity, structured exercise, and dietary patterns, including plant-based diets. Whenever appropriate, the latest clinical practice guidelines in nutrition for individuals with CKD are seamlessly integrated into the chapters.
