Abstract: Nutrition therapy is considered as the basis for prevention and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), throughout the three-tier prevention strategies of CKD. The primary objective is to delay the disease progression, correct metabolic disorders, and improve the outcomes of CKD. Low protein diet has been recognized as an important therapeutic measure in CKD, but the quantity, quality and source of protein are always the points of contention. Recently, both domestic and foreign guidelines have been updated on the amount of protein intake. In addition to quantity, attention has been paid to the type and diversity of proteins. With the rise of plant-based food consumption and the concept of vegetarian diet, the scientific community began to review the benefits of plant protein again, and a plant-based diet is recommend extensively. Whether the plant-based dietary pattern is also suitable for CKD patients who need a low-protein diet, and whether it could meet the nutritional needs of CKD patients are hot topics, this article reviews the recent progress of these research hotspots.
