What is the quality of evidence regarding the benefits of dietary sodium reduction in people with CKD?
The Cochrane systematic reviews updated for this guideline found low-to-moderate-quality evidence demonstrating that dietary sodium reduction results in short-term reductions in BP in CKD populations. This was evident for both SBP and DBP in CKD without diabetes (moderate); Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and CKD (low); Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and CKD (low); and diabetes and severely increased albuminuria (low).
