Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global health concern because of its high incidence, prevalence and the healthcare burden cost associated with it. An extensive literature supports that phytochemicals and nutrients from edible plants, herbs, food and waste products generated during their processing represent a healthy, sustainable and safe strategy to produce functional foods and nutraceuticals. The addition of these functional foods and nutraceuticals to traditional medicine, a healthy diet enriched in fruits and vegetables with unprocessed foods and controlled levels of salts and sugars could be helpful strategies for people suffering CKD.
