The New Nordic Renal Diet (NNRD) is a meal pattern reduced in phosphorus, protein, and sodium for patients with moderate chronic kidney disease. The NNRD showed improvements in metabolic, and physiological outcomes after 26-weeks intervention. In the original study, participants were randomized to NNRD (n = 30), or control (habitual diet) (n = 30). The aim of this study was to explore adherence to the NNRD 3 months after cessation of intervention (follow-up). Fifty-seven participants completed the follow-up visit, which consisted of fasting blood samples and 24 h urine samples. At follow-up, there was no longer a significant reduction in 24 h urine phosphorus excretion in the NNRD group. From intervention to follow-up, 24 h urine phosphorus increased by 63 mg in the NNRD group, vs. −24.1 mg in the control group, between-group difference 87.1 mg (−10.1, 184.3, p = 0.08). Our findings show that more active intervention is needed to support adherence and maintain beneficial effects of the NNRD.
