Overall, compared to the usually recommended CKD diet, increased plant protein intake was associated with statistically significant reductions in total cholesterol (−24.51 mg/dL, 95% CI −40.33, −8.69), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (−21.71 mg/dL, 95% CI −38.32, −5.1), triglycerides (− 21.88 mg/dL, 95% CI −35.34, −8.40), and Apolipoprotein B levels (−11.21 mg/dL, 95% CI −18.18, −4.25). Here, APOB is linked to chronic kidney disease.
