The renal benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
Over the next decade, the number of patients with end-stage renal disease requiring treatment by dialysis may double, and even developed nations will have difficulty coping with this alarming increase. There is an urgent need to highlight the importance of modifiable risk factors as a basis for treatment strategies to prevent the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This should include active extension of our current understanding of a healthy lifestyle.
