Reveal the answer and explanation

Correct answer: B — Limit protein intake to ~0.8 g/kg/day unless contraindicated

CKD guidance recommends about 0.8 g/kg/day protein intake in adults without indications for higher intake; excessively high protein increases intraglomerular pressure and albuminuria.
