Dairy products and chronic kidney disease: protective or harmful? asystematic review of prospective cohort studies

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a progressive decline in kidney function and includes several stages ranging from simple kidney damage to severe kidney failure [1]. It is a public health concern affecting 11% to 13% of the global population [2]. Progression of the disease can lead to several complications, such as anemia, dyslipidemia, hyperphosphatemia, and hyperparathyroidism. Such complications put CKD patients at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events [3]. Lifestyle modification, particularly dietary changes, is proposed as an effective strategy to prevent or delay the progressive decline in kidney function and development of CKD and its complications [4].
