ABSTRACT
The pathological process in the kidneys in the course of chronic renal failure (CRF) leads to multiple metabolic disturbances in the whole body. Disturbances of protein, carbohydrate, fat, electrolyte and calcium-phosphate balance are the main reasons for protein-energy malnutrition in patients. The use of a proper, individually adapted diet may slow down the progression of the disease and reduce the intensity of the symptoms.
