Assessment of Dietary Acid Load in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease: An Observational Study
Madhileti Sravani, Sheeba Collins, Arpana Iyengar Dietary acid load (DAL), which reflects the balance between acid- and alkaline-forming foods, is a modifiable risk factor for metabolic acidosis in CKD. Owing to the paucity of data in the Indian context, we undertook this cross-sectional study to estimate DAL and assess acid and alkaline food consumption in children with CKD2-5D (Chronic kidney disease stage 2 to 5 and 5D-those on hemodialysis).
