What is the recommendation for sodium reduction for CKD populations?
The Work Group recommends a target of <2.0 g per day for CKD populations, placing a relatively higher value on studies in CKD populations demonstrating that short-term dietary sodium reduction interventions lower BP, and consistency with ndings of similar interventions in the general population. The recommendation also places a higher value on dietary sodium-reduction strategies as a readily available, non-pharmacologic intervention to lower BP in CKD populations. However, the recommendation does not include salt-substitution strategies with potassium until further studies can discern risks and benefits of salt-substitution strategies specifically in CKD.
