Fibre intake in paediatric CKD is low and is even worse in advanced CKD stages. Current dietary fibre recommendations for healthy children are not being achieved. Dietary management of CKD is complex in which too restrictive diets carry the risk of nutritional deficiencies. The relation of fibre intake with PBUTs remains unclear and needs further investigation. Graphical abstract.
