The session provides a comprehensive overview of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) from a nutritional management perspective, emphasizing diet as a key disease-modifying factor rather than a supportive add-on. It explains the progression of CKD, its major causes, and associated complications such as anemia, bone mineral disorders, and cardiovascular risk. The workshop highlights individualized nutritional assessment using the ABCD approach and stage-specific adjustments in protein, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and fluid intake. It also stresses the importance of patient-centered counseling, regular monitoring, and sustainable dietary strategies to improve long-term adherence and outcomes.
