| Impact statement: Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) face a severe risk of micronutrient deficiencies due to abnormal metabolism, restricted diets, and losses during dialysis, with growth retardation affecting up to 35% of this population. This protocol establishes a rigorous framework for a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate how supplementing vitamins (B, C, D, folic acid) and minerals (iron, zinc) impacts primary nutritional markers like BMI and Z-scores. By synthesizing data from global randomized controlled trials, this research provides a vital mandate for the creation of standardized clinical guidelines to protect the physical and cognitive development of vulnerable children, particularly in resource-limited settings. | Collaboration: NGO | Keywords: children, chronic kidney disease, minerals, vitamins |
