Kidney disease impact patients' health and quality of life. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life-threatening and critical illness, severely endangering patients' health and well-being. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is also experiencing increasing mortality and morbidity, making it a significant global health issue. Kidney disease patients often experience energy depletion and nutrient loss. Providing appropriate nutritional support may improve the condition and also the prognosis. Therefore, medical nutrition therapy (MNT) plays a crucial role in the treatment of kidney disease. Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) offer advantages such as safety, effectiveness, and high patient compliance. Special medical foods and functional foods are two major ONS delivery vehicles. Therefore, analyzing, researching, and comparing the two nutritional delivery vehicles is of great significance to the nutrition and health of patients with kidney disease and can also provides insights and reference for the development and improvement of nutritional supplement products for kidney disease patients.
