Authors' recommendations: No high-quality evidence has been found on the impact that the use of ketoanalogs associated with high-protein diets may have on mortality, delayed initiation of renal replacement therapy or quality of life in patients with chronic kidney failure Moderate-quality evidence suggests that their use (when compared with high-protein diets with no supplementation) would improve the glomerular filtration rate in patients with moderate and severe chronic kidney disease –with glomerular filtration rates higher than 18 mL/min/1.73 m2- and plasma phosphorus levels, with no adverse impact on the patient nutrition. Low-quality evidence suggests that it might have minor benefits in mortality in patients at early stages, prior to renal replacement therapy initiation. The KDOQUI clinical practice guidelines and a consensus of countries using ketoanalogs as food supplement (Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Italy, China, Mexico, Brazil) recommend its use in adult patients with kidney disease who have a glomerular filtration rate lower than 30 mL/min (Stages 3-5), who are stable, controlled by a follow-up team (Nephrologist and Nutritionist), who have indication and follow a low or very low protein diet (0.60 g to 0.3 g/kg/day). In high-income countries, ketoanalogs are classified as food supplement and they are not under the scope of regulatory agencies. No economic evaluations or budget impact analyses at local level have been found.
