‘Phos’tering a Clear Message: The Evolution of Dietary Phosphorus Management in Chronic Kidney Disease (original) (raw)

Abstract

Phosphorus is a vital nutrient, but disturbances in phosphorus homeostasis are central to chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder. To minimize disturbances, traditional dietary guidance focused on a numerical phosphorus target leading to the exclusion of many healthy foods and implementation challenges. Contemporary phosphorus guidance focuses on dietary source, avoiding additives, and emphasizing low-phosphorus bioaccessibility foods, leading to a more liberal approach. Additional work is needed to demonstrate the efficacy of these contemporary approaches and understand the influence of specific foods, processing, and cooking methods. Unfortunately, patient education using traditional and contemporary strategies may give mixed messages, particularly related to plant-based foods. Thus, greater clarity on the effects of specific foods and dietary patterns may improve phosphorus education. This review aims to discuss the evolution of dietary phosphorus management while highlighting areas for future research that can help move the field toward stronger evidence-based guidance to prevent and treat hyperphosphatemia.
