What is the recommended sodium intake target for CKD populations?
The Work Group considered the specific target of sodium intake of <2 g (<90 mmol) daily and found no evidence showing different health benefits or harms at different sodium intake targets in CKD populations per se. Existing intervention studies targeting BP in CKD populations typically targeted <2 g or <2.3 g daily in the low-sodium arms, which are similar to targets recommended for the general population. Therefore, the present guideline recommends a target of <2.0 g per day for CKD populations.
