Chronic kidney disease patients are a high-risk group of cardiovascular diseases and are related to many factors, such as high blood phosphorus and high calcium phosphorus product. The main sources of dietary phosphorus are diverse types of organic phosphorus in animal foods (60% of the phosphorus absorbed) and plant foods (< 40% of the phosphorus absorbed), along with inorganic phosphorus in-food additives (100% of the phosphorus absorbed). There are six levels in the pyramid. All foods are distributed in different levels and depends on their phosphorus content, phosphorus to protein ratio, and phosphorus bioavailability (i.e., absorption rate). Each level corresponds to recommended intake frequency, ranging from "unrestricted" to "avoid as much as possible". The phosphorus pyramid is to support dietary counseling in order to reduce the dietary phosphorus load and is a visual tool friendly used in nutritional education strategies for health care professionals and patients.
