[11] , endothelin [10] , and aldosterone [10] . Together, these studies suggest that patients with reduced GFR but no metabolic acidosis nevertheless have acid retention that might mediate nephropathy progression. Reducing acid retention with less acid-producing diets that lower net endogenous acid production (NEAP) might slow nephropathy progression in patients with reduced GFR even without me...

As recently shown by clinical trials, treatment of this condit...
