many CKD patients in stage3, have very low protein intake because of so many restriction diets. I think at this stage no need to have low protein diet this patient will become malnourished. what do you suggest?
When I was in my training phase as nephrologist 1977-1983, there was already a discussion on that topic. Because of a significant weight loss under a low protein diet, the opinion prevailed at that time that patients with chronic kidney disease should be fed normally and dialysis should be started latest at creatinine clearance < 5 ml / min.

I think protein intake in stage 3A should be 1 mg / kg body weight per day, and in stage 3B it should be 0.8 mg kg / day
Hello Jose´, I think you´ll say 1 g / kg or 0.8 g / kg body weight per day.
