TLDR
It is demonstrated that the preservation of renal function with dietary protein restriction after established glomerular injury follows upon reduction ofglomerular capillary hydraulic pressure, despite constancy of single nephron filtration rate and plasma flow and persistence of arterial hypertension.
Abstract: 
Dietary protein restriction imposed before renal injury is established in the remnant kidney model in the rat reduces glomerular hypertension and hyperperfusion and renal injury. We demonstrate that dietary protein restriction (6% vs. 20%) imposed on a background of established renal injury in the remnant model leads to a greater preservation of renal function as measured by glomerular filtration rate and fractional clearances of albumin and IgG, despite the persistence of systemic hypertension. In similarly prepared rats, dietary protein restriction (6% vs. 20%) led to a lower glomerular capillary hydraulic pressure, a higher ultrafiltration coefficient, and similar single nephron filtration rates. In addition, less impairment of glomerular permselectivity was demonstrable after protein restriction. Our data demonstrate that the preservation of renal function with dietary protein restriction after established glomerular injury follows upon reduction of glomerular capillary hydraulic pressure, despite constancy of single nephron filtration rate and plasma flow and persistence of arterial hypertension.

The hyperfiltration theory: a paradigm shift in nephrology.

TL;DR: Clinical studies indicate that dietary protein restriction and antihypertensive therapy also slow progression in many of these disorders, including diabetes mellitus, solitary or remnant kidneys, and various forms of acquired renal disease.

The modification of diet in renal disease study.

TL;DR: A large number of patients with kidney failure of diverse causes and a weak immune system are diagnosed with end-stage renal disease, and the prognosis is poor for many of the patients with these conditions.

Effect of dietary protein restriction on prognosis in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

TL;DR: Moderate dietary protein restriction improves prognosis in type 1 diabetic patients with progressive diabetic nephropathy in addition to the beneficial effect of antihypertensive treatment.

Renal, metabolic and hormonal responses to ingestion of animal and vegetable proteins

TL;DR: Renal and hormonal responses were studied in a group of healthy individuals fed, in random order, for three weeks, a vegetable protein diet, an animalprotein diet, or an animal protein diet supplemented with fiber, all containing the same amount of total protein.

Pathogenesis and significance of nonprimary focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis.

TL;DR: Structural and functional microvascular changes acting in concert not only facilitate the transcapillary convection of macromolecules that results in albuminuria, but can also be anticipated to play a key role in the entrapment and accumulation of larger macromolescules in front of the lamina densa in the form of hyalin material.

Dietary Protein Intake and the Progressive Nature of Kidney Disease: The Role of Hemodynamically Mediated Glomerular Injury in the Pathogenesis of Progressive Glomerular Sclerosis in Aging, Renal Ablation, and Intrinsic Renal Disease

TL;DR: With the development and increasingly widespread availability of dialysis and transplantation in the past three decades, relatively little attention has been paid to the influence of diet on the progression of renal disease, despite general awareness that renal disease typically follows an inexorably progressive course.

Control of glomerular hypertension limits glomerular injury in rats with reduced renal mass.

TL;DR: It is suggested that control of glomerular hypertension effectively limits glomersular injury in rats with renal ablation, and the view thatglomerular hemodynamic changes mediate progressive renal injury when nephron number is reduced is supported.

The case for intrarenal hypertension in the initiation and progression of diabetic and other glomerulopathies.

TL;DR: A number of clinical studies have been performed in an attempt to dissect the particular component or components of the diabetic state responsible for these early elevations in glomerular filtration rate, and no single factor appears to account fully for this phenomenon.
