The invention discloses an evaluation method for diet protein intake (DPI) of a chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient. Through research of relationships between a fasting serum blood urea nitrogen / creatinine ratio (BUN / Cr) and a single-time urine urea nitrogen / creatinine ratio (UUN / Cr) of a CKD third-phase patient with a stable illness state, and the diet protein intake (DPI), a DPI simple calculation formula based on the fasting serum BUN / Cr and / or random urine UUN / Cr is established. According to the final calculation formula, it is expected that a traditional method for evaluating the DPI through subsistence of the urine within 24 hours can be replaced by a biochemical detection result of a single-time blood or urine in clinical follow-up.
