Currently Available Handouts for Low Phosphorus Diets in Chronic Kidney Disease Continue to Restrict Plant Proteins and Minimally Processed Dairy Products.

Many resources restrict items with minimal nutrition value to lower phosphorus intake; however, plant foods, including plant proteins and whole grains, continue to be restricted in the majority of resources, despite having lower bioavailability. The 2020 Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative guidelines recommend considering bioavailability of phosphorus source when implementing low phosphorus diets; current handouts in Canada would likely benefit from review.
