From: A practical approach of salt and protein restriction for CKD patients in Japan

1. Lifestyle and Dietary Modification

2. Weight control: BMI < 25.0 kg/m2

3. Salt restriction: NaCl 3 to 6 g/day (if hypertensive)

Target blood pressure: <130/80 mmHg

4. Protein restriction (Body weight as body mass index 22.0 kg/m2)

Stage 3a: 0.8 to 1.0 g/kg/day

Stage 3b: 0.6 to 0.8 g/kg/day

Stage 4/5: 0.6 to 0.8 g/kg/day

Stage 5D: HD patient 0.9 to 1.2 g/kg/day

PD patient 0.9 to 1.2 g/kg/day

5. Potassium restriction (if hyperkalemia)

Stage 3b: ≤2000 mg/day

Stage 4/5: ≤1500 mg/day

6. Glucose (if DM present): HbA1c < 7.0 %

7. Lipids (if dyslipidemia): LDL-C < 120 mg/dL
