It’s great you’re going to renal dietician. Will clarify much for you. I’ve read that new research needs to be established for about ten years in this country before Drs to start passing it on to their patients. I can understand this to some degree. Need to be as certain as possible about it first. Newest research since 2018 or so seems to indicate plant based diet can be very helpful to many in slowing CKD progress. Keep reading and try not to get discouraged. Their is a lot of good information from reliable sources and great connections like this one.
