All types of dietary fiber (DF) would be beneficial for reducing mortality with chronic kidney disease (CKD). 10 g/day increase in total fiber in daily diet may decrease 17% risk of mortality. 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans have recommended that healthy adults should consume at least 14 g/day of DF for each 1,000 kcal/day diet. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III data, the average DF intake in the CKD population was about 15.4 g/day. Other studies also reported that 8 g DF/day of DF intake in peritoneal dialysis patients and 12 g DF/day in hemodialysis patients, indicating the amount of DF intake was much lower than the recommendation for healthy adults. High-fiber diet may facilitate stool excretion, relieve constipation, change the composition of intestinal flora, and promote toxins excretion. In clinical practice, CKD or dialysis patients should be encouraged to take a rich fiber diet, such as a plant-based diet.
