Protein restrictions for low GFR?

[Guest guest]

Is there a calculation for, or suggested range of protein intake for

patients with an abnormally low GFR?

Thank you,

0.6-0.8g protein /Kg, 50% high biological value.

If the patient is malnourished it is not recommended to restrict protein.

I suggest you tor read NKF and ESPEN guidelines about nutritional management in

renal patients. There is alot more things to take into account that only protein

adequacy.
