ASN Releases Kidney Health Guidance on Food Additives

The American Society of Nephrology has published new guidance in JASN highlighting the risks of potassium and phosphorus additives for people with chronic kidney disease.

The recommendations urge patients to avoid phosphorus additives entirely and call for individualised approaches to managing potassium intake. The guidance also points to gaps in food labelling and access that make nutrition management challenging, while offering strategies to help kidney care professionals support patients in preventing hyperkalaemia and CKD-related bone disorders.
