Plant-Based Protein May Reduce Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease

New research found that a higher intake of plant-based protein could reduce a person's risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). According to researchers, preclinical trials indicate that plant-based protein results in less inflammation than animal protein—inflammation is a potentially relevant factor in CKD.
