The Claim

A low-protein diet (LPD) of 0.6-0.8 g/kg/day in non-dialysis CKD patients is associated with reduced proteinuria, slower decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and delayed need for renal replacement therapy.

Eating less protein might help people with kidney disease by reducing protein in their urine, slowing down kidney damage, and delaying the need for dialysis or transplant.
