Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease, increasing survival rates and improving quality of life. Diet affects patient weight and well-being, can trigger certain diseases, and influences post-surgery outcomes. The purpose of the study was to investigate dietary strategies in patients with chronic kidney disease, in early and long-Term donor kidney recipients, and to formulate specific nutritional recommendations. For this purpose, a narrative review of the available information in both the Republic of Kazakhstan and the worlds scientific literature over the last 10 years was carried out. The following evidence-based resources were used: Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Knowledge. The study provides the latest statistical data on kidney transplantation and risk factors, and a comparative analysis between countries. Existing data on basic nutrition and the possibility of using it after transplantation are examined in detail. In addition, the recommendations for daily intake of salt, potassium, sodium, vitamin D, and calcium were analyzed. The energy value of the diet and its association with overweight, obesity, and the development of diabetes mellitus were studied. Using DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) and low-protein diets as examples, the potential risks and their applicability for this patient category are analyzed. The articles materials and conclusions can serve as a training manual for nephrologists, therapists, and surgeons.
