ABSTRACT Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common disorder to the elderly people, and its prevalence is increasing globally. We are turning into a super-aged society very rapidly and the number of CKD patients with dialysis treatment is now over 310,000 in Japan, which is the second largest population in the world. Japanese researchers have a pioneering status in addressing this issue through basic and clinical nephrology research. In addition, advanced research related to the dietary supplementation of CKD patients is essential for the management of this life threatening disease. This review aims to provide recent research advances of CKD on low-potassium vegetable production and dietary supplementation to dialysis patients in Japan.
