Answers to ten questions on the dietary treatment of chronic renal failure
1986
Giovannetti, S.
Detailed technical responses provide concise answers to 10 questions posed in a recent paper on dietary treatment of chronic renal failure (CRF). The questions focus on: whether CRF always progresses; how CRF progression can be assessed; whether a placebo effect exists in diet trials; whether controlled studies of CRF progression have been conducted; how a low-protein diet should be initiated; which low-protein diet should be selected; how dietary compliance should be assessed; what risks are presented by a low-protein diet; how nutritional status should be assessed; and what are the costs of a low-protein diet. Critical comments concerning recommendations for future CRF trials also are included.(wz)
