Diet and water adjustment
The dietary intervention consisted of three elements: low sodium (1500 mg/day), low protein (daily protein dietary allowance of 0.8 gram/kg body weight), and low urea (avoidance of preservatives, food additives, bulking agents, and chewing gum). Protein was factored by measured body weight to mirror the estimated average requirement (EAR) of healthy adults which is set on a grams per kilogram basis
