Low-Protein Diets in Chronic Kidney Disease by Monica Monika is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. This review discusses the metabolic effects of low-protein diets in patients with chronic kidney disease, focusing on muscle protein turnover. 2. Skeletal muscle is highly adaptive and can respond to changes in protein intake by decreasing protein degradation and increasing the efficiency of protein turnover. 3. However, impaired ability to activate an adaptive response may lead to protein wasting when a low-protein diet is prescribed in CKD patients. Factors like acidosis, insulin resistance and inflam
