National and International Societies recommend the Low Protein Diet (LPD) as nutritional therapy for chronic kidney disease not on dialysis, because it reduces the uremic symptoms and toxins generation, preserves the nutritional status, delays the progression to the dialysis and reshapes the dysbiotic microbiota. Finally, LPD is low cost and eco- and planet friendly. As some Authors already described LPD as a traditional drug, with particular indications, contraindications, special populations and so on, we for the first time re-wrote the LPD characteristics according to the “Summary of Product Characteristics” required by the Italian Health Department and Italian Medicines Agency. However, the contents of this paper could not be “literally” applied by clinicians, but must be included in a global assessment of the patient and performed by a trained physician or dietitian with expertise in the management of chronic kidney disease.
