Our findings support the beneficial effects of dietary interventions aimed at reducing acid or adding base in the management of metabolic acidosis and kidney function in adults with CKD, with no adverse effects on serum potassium and nutritional status. Well-designed clinical trials looking at the treatment of metabolic acidosis with dietary interventions with a focus on adding base through fruit and vegetables are required.
