RESUMO
Compelling evidence indicates that the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing because of an aging population and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Nutrition management of patients with CKD requires early disease recognition, appropriate interpretation of the markers and stages of CKD, and collaboration with other health care practitioners. Better management of CKD can slow its progression, prevent metabolic complications, and reduce cardiovascular related outcomes. Caring for patients with CKD necessitates specialized knowledge and skills to meet the challenges associated with this growing epidemic. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Renal Dietitians Practice Group and the National Kidney Foundation Council on Renal Nutrition, with guidance from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Quality Management Committee, have updated the 2009 Standards of Practice in Nutrition Care and Standards of Professional Performance as a tool for registered dietitian nutritionists working in nephrology nutrition to assess their current skill levels and to identify areas for additional professional development in this practice area. The Standards of Practice apply to the care of patients/clients with kidney disease. The Standards of Professional Performance consist of six domains of professionalism, including: Quality in Practice, Competence and Accountability, Provision of Services, Application of Research, Communication and Application of Knowledge, and Utilization and Management of Resources. Within each standard, specific indicators provide measurable action statements that illustrate how nephrology nutrition principles can be applied to practice. The indicators describe three skill levels (ie, competent, proficient, and expert) for registered dietitian nutritionists working in nephrology nutrition.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a permanent, progressive loss of kidney function characterized by a decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Early identification of CKD risk factors provides an opportunity to prevent or delay the progression of kidney disease and decrease morbidity and mortality. There is increasing evidence to suggest that the adverse outcomes of CKD can be delayed or prevented by early detection and treatment. Current literature suggests that a low-protein, low-phosphorus diet may retard the progression of kidney disease. Other modifiable risk factors affecting CKD include proteinuria, hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, bone disease, anemia, and obesity. This discussion will review the current clinical nutrition guidelines for managing adult patients with CKD.
