By eigindia Fruits and vegetables improve blood pressure control in CKD patients with associated metabolic acidosis. Treating metabolic acidosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) through dietary interventions, such as increasing the intake of fruits and vegetables, has shown to help regulate blood pressure and improve kidney function.
