Helps repair body tissues, but excessive might increase kidney burden. Patients often follow a low-protein diet to slow kidney disease progression.

Essential for nerve function and muscle contraction. Levels must be carefully balanced in CKD to prevent hyperkalemia. Recommended levels vary based on CKD stage.

Necessary for bones and teeth, yet imbalances with phosphorus can harm kidney health. Careful monitoring is required in CKD.

Can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health. Particularly beneficial in CKD to manage cardiovascular risks.

Critical for red blood cell production. CKD can cause iron deficiency anemia, and supplementation is often required.

Maintains hydration, but intake might need to be restricted in later stages of CKD to prevent fluid overload.

Important for energy metabolism. CKD patients might require supplementation due to loss during dialysis and reduced kidney function.

Key for many biochemical reactions, but should be monitored as CKD can lead to both low and high levels which are harmful.

Modulates fluid balance and blood pressure. Excess can lead to hypertension and edema. Recommended limit is less than 2g per day for CKD patients.

Facilitates calcium absorption; deficiency is common in CKD. Supplementation may be necessary to prevent bone disease but requires careful management.
