Combined analysis of protein intake and functional capacity in non-elective hospitalization in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at how much protein people with kidney disease eat and how strong they are. It found a link between low protein intake, weak muscles, and more hospital stays. This shows a connection, but it does not prove that eating more protein prevents hospital visits.
