Abstract
Objective: To describe through an analysis of the scientific literature on the nutritional aspects of chronic renal patients undergoing conservative treatment. Methods: Qualitative Integrative Review study with a descriptive and exploratory approach. The articles were searched in the Lilacs, Scielo, Acervo+ and PubMed databases, followed by pre-analysis, material exploration, data treatment, interpretation of results and elaboration of the study's thematic categories, arranged in a synoptic table for the definition and composition of the analytical categories that answered the guiding question of the research. Results: Nine studies were included according to the established criteria. It can be observed that conservative treatment is a therapeutic regimen that presents challenges to the patient, as it is not easy to change eating habits such as stopping eating proteins, avoiding sodium and limiting the consumption of liquids, requiring both patient compliance family members so that more serious complications do not appear. Final considerations: Nutritional restrictions represent the biggest challenge for conservative treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), as it requires changing habits not only of the patient, but of all family members. The diet for individuals with CKD should be tailored to individual needs, preventing malnutrition and ensuring client compliance.
