Correct answer: B — Sodium intake <2 g/day (approximately <5 g salt/day)
KDIGO 2024 recommends sodium intake <2 g/day (equivalent to <5 g salt/day or approximately 85 mmol sodium/day) for adults with CKD. This reduces blood pressure, proteinuria, and fluid retention. It also enhances the efficacy of RASi and diuretics. Practical advice includes reducing processed food, not adding salt during cooking or at the table, and reading food labels. Dietetic support is recommended to achieve this target while maintaining adequate nutrition.
