Randomized control trial demonstrates phosphate control in hemodialysis patients using plant-based diet, suggesting a dietary intervention strategy.
Chronic hyperphosphatemia leads to increased mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. While both plant-based (PB) and animal-based (AB) proteins contain phosphorus, the presence of phytate in plant sources may offer a unique advantage by reducing intestinal absorption of this mineral. Limited evidence exists on whether PB protein, compared to AB protein, can better control phosphate levels among this population.
