Abstract

The article deals with one of the most pressing problems in nephrology — chronic kidney disease. Characteristics of risk factors for this disease, as well as the main directions of its treatment are provided. The important role of nutrition correction in the complex of treatment for chronic kidney disease is accentuated.
