Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive and incurable condition that imposes a significant burden on an aging society. Although the exact prevalence of this disease is unknown, it is estimated to affect at least 800 million people worldwide. Patients with diabetes or hypertension are at a higher risk of developing chronic kidney damage. As the kidneys play a crucial role in vital physiological processes, damage to these organs can disrupt the balance of water and electrolytes, regulation of blood pressure, elimination of toxins, and metabolism of vitamin D. Early diagnosis is paramount to prevent potential complications. Treatment options such as dietary modifications and medications can help slow disease progression. In our narrative review, we have summarized the available therapeutic options to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. Many new drug treatments have recently become available, offering a beacon of hope and optimism in CKD management. Nonetheless, disease prevention remains the most critical step in disease management. Given the significant impact of CKD on public health, there is a pressing need for further research. With the development of new technologies and advancements in medical knowledge, we hope to find more effective diagnostic tools and treatments for CKD patients.

Abstract
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.

Fruit and Vegetable Intake Patterns, Kidney Failure, and Mortality in Adults with and without Chronic Kidney Disease in the United States. J Nutr 2024:S0022-3166(24)00285-2. [PMID: 38754840 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2024.05.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fruits and vegetables (F&Vs) are vital components of healthy diets but may be restricted in chronic kidney disease (CKD) to avoid high-potassium intake. We previously generated F&V patterns for patients in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and demonstrated an increased prevalence of the overall low-intake pattern in patients with CKD. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of F&V patterns (overall low intake, high unprocessed, moderate processed, and high ultraprocessed) with the risk of kidney failure and its composite with death. METHODS Adults in NHANES III with valid dietary data and longitudinal follow-up for kidney failure and death were included. F&V patterns were identified using 24-h dietary recalls and latent class analysis, yielding 4 patterns. Cox models were used to evaluate the prospective association between each pattern and hazard of kidney failure or a composite of kidney failure or death over ≤20 y. Models were adjusted for demographics and select comorbidities and weighted for the complex survey design. Secondary analyses evaluated serum carotenoids as objective biomarkers of F&V intake. RESULTS Among 16,726 eligible participants in NHANES III, F&V consumption consistent with the high-ultraprocessed pattern associated with the highest risk of kidney failure after demographic and comorbidity adjustment, but attenuated with adjustment for kidney function. The high unprocessed pattern associated with the lowest adjusted risk of death or kidney failure combined [hazard ratio (HR): 0.73; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.65, 0.81 relative to overall low intake]. Higher-serum carotenoids were associated with a lower adjusted risk of death or kidney failure combined (HR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.49, 0.65 for quartile 4 compared with quartile 1). Results were similar in patients with CKD at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Higher intake of unprocessed F&Vs was associated with better outcomes in the general population and patients with CKD. Results emphasize the need to safely improve F&V intake in CKD.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Studies have shown that generally healthy individuals who consume diets rich in plant foods have a lower risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the prospective associations of plant-based diets with the risk of CKD progression and all-cause mortality in individuals with CKD. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 2,539 participants with CKD recruited between 2003-2008 into the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study. EXPOSURE Responses on the Diet History Questionnaire were used to calculate scores for the overall plant-based diet index, healthy plant-based diet index, and unhealthy plant-based diet index. OUTCOME (1) CKD progression defined as≥50% estimated glomerular filtration rate decline from baseline or kidney replacement therapy (dialysis, transplant) and (2) all-cause mortality. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Cox proportional hazards models to compute hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals adjusting for lifestyle, socioeconomic, and clinical covariates. RESULTS There were 977 CKD progression events and 836 deaths during a median follow-up period of 7 and 12 years, respectively. Participants with the highest versus lowest adherence to overall plant-based diets and healthy plant-based diets had 26% (HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.62-0.88], P trend<0.001) and 21% (HR, 0.79 [95% CI, 0.66-0.95], P trend=0.03) lower risks of all-cause mortality, respectively. Each 10-point higher score of unhealthy plant-based diets was modestly associated with a higher risk of CKD progression (HR, 1.14 [95% CI, 1.03-1.25) and all-cause mortality (HR, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.00-1.23). LIMITATIONS Self-reported diet may be subject to measurement error. CONCLUSIONS Adherence to an overall plant-based diet and a healthy plant-based diet is associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality among individuals with CKD. An unhealthy plant-based was associated with an elevated risk of CKD progression and all-cause mortality. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY Plant-based diets are healthful dietary patterns that have been linked to a lower risk of chronic diseases. However, the impact of plant-based diets on clinical outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not well established. In 2,539 individuals with CKD, we examined the associations of adherence to 3 different types of plant-based diets with the risks of CKD progression and all-cause mortality. We found that following an overall plant-based diet and a healthy plant-based diet was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. By contrast, following an unhealthy plant-based diet was associated with a higher risk of CKD progression and all-cause mortality. These results suggest that the quality of plant-based diets may be important for CKD management.

Abstract
Nearly every fifth adult in the United States and many older adults worldwide are affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), which can progress to kidney failure requiring invasive kidney replacement therapy. In this review, we briefly examine the pathophysiology of CKD and discuss emerging mechanisms involving the physiological resolution of kidney injury by transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) and interleukin-11 (IL-11), as well as the pathological consequences of IL-11 overproduction, which misguides repair processes, ultimately culminating in CKD. Taking these mechanisms into account, we offer an overview of the efficacy of plant-dominant dietary patterns in preventing and managing CKD, while also addressing their limitations in terms of restoring kidney function or preventing kidney failure. In conclusion, this paper outlines novel regeneration strategies aimed at developing a reno-regenerative diet to inhibit IL-11 and promote repair mechanisms in kidneys affected by CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of disability in CKD is high. In this context the aim of the present study was to assess the temporal trends of prevalence and disability progression for chronic kidney disease (CKD) caused by specific etiologies. METHODS Using data from the Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2019, we examined the age-standardized rates of CKD prevalence and disability-adjusted life-years for different etiologies, including Type 1/2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM/T2DM), glomerulonephritis, and hypertension. We also calculated the average annual percentage changes to assess trends. Additionally, we utilized the joinpoint regression model to identify significant shifts over time. RESULTS From 1990 to 2019, the global prevalence of CKD due to various etiologies exhibited an overall increasing trend, albeit with fluctuations. Notably, CKD due to T1DM, glomerulonephritis, and hypertension consistently demonstrated a significant upward trend across all continents, while the prevalence of CKD due to T2DM varied across continents. In terms of disability-adjusted life-years, CKD due to T2DM and hypertension exhibited a significant rising trend over the past 30 years. However, changes in age standardized disability-adjusted life-years for CKD due to different etiologies were not consistent across continents, with an upward trend observed in The Americas and a contrasting trend in Asia. Furthermore, both age-standardized prevalence rate and age standardized disability-adjusted life-year trends for CKD varied significantly across 204 countries and territories. Additionally, a negative association was observed between the Socio-demographic Index and the disability progression of CKD. CONCLUSION The prevalence and disability burden of CKD caused by specific etiologies show substantial heterogeneity worldwide, highlighting significant disparities in the distribution of CKD. It is crucial to implement geographic and personalized strategies in different regions to alleviate the burden of CKD effectively.

Abstract
This meta-analysis was undertaken to determine the predictive value of Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 in all-cause, cancer-cause, and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-cause mortality. This review was registered with PROSPERO as CRD42023421585. PubMed and Web of Science were searched for articles published by September 15, 2023. The hazard ratio (HR) was calculated with exact confidence intervals (CIs) of 95%. Statistical heterogeneity among studies was measured by Cochran's Q test (χ2) and the I2 statistic. Eighteen published studies were finally identified in this meta-analysis. The results showed that the HEI-2015 was associated with all-cause mortality either as a categorical variable (HR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.79, 0.82) or continuous variable (HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.88, 0.92). The HEI-2015 was also associated with cancer-cause mortality as categorical variable (HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.78, 0.83) or continuous variable (HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.81, 0.99). The categorical HEI-2015 was also independently correlated with decreasing CVD-cause mortality (HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.75, 0.87). A nonlinear dose-response relation between the HEI-2015 and all-cause mortality was found. In the linear dose-response analysis, the risk of mortality from cancer decreased by 0.42% per 1 score increment of the HEI-2015 and the risk of CVD-cause mortality decreased by 0.51% with the increment of the HEI-2015 per 1 score. Our analysis indicated a significant relationship between the HEI-2015 and all-cause, cancer-cause, and CVD-cause mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Although most of the current medical education literature has focused on teaching strategies, little attention has been devoted to selecting appropriate course content. Despite elegant descriptions of physiologic mechanisms in recent decades, medical school curricula and students continue to rely on outdated textbooks and certification examination study aids composed to fit an antiquated exam blueprint. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in our understanding of potassium physiology offer multiple examples of key concepts that deserve to be included in the modern-day renal physiology curriculum, including the relationship of potassium to blood pressure and the potassium 'switch', the aldosterone paradox, and novel pharmacologic agents that target dietary potassium absorption and potassium handling in the kidney. SUMMARY Key advances in our understanding and application of renal physiology to patient care have not been readily integrated into the nephrology curriculum of medical students. Difficult questions remain regarding when new concepts are sufficiently established to be introduced to medical students in the preclinical years.

Abstract
PURPOSE The number of CKD patients is on the rise worldwide, and diet has become an essential aspect influencing the treatment and prognosis of CKD. However, limited research has explored the association of the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) with CKD progression and the essential kidney function indicator, eGFR, in CKD patients. This study aimed to analyze the association between DII and CKD progression and eGFR in the US CKD population using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). METHODS This study utilized data obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2007 to 2018, with a total sample size of 2,488 individuals. Study used multiple imputation, based on 5 replications and a chained equation approach method in the R MI procedure, to account for missing data. Weighted multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between DII and the risk of higher CKD stage and a weighted multiple regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between DII and eGFR. Weighted Generalized Additive Models and smoothed curve fitting were applied to detect potential non-linear relationships in this association. RESULTS In all three models, it was found that DII was positively associated with the risk of higher CKD stage (P < 0.0001), and an increase in DII was associated with a decrease in eGFR (P < 0.0001). The trend across quartiles of DII remained statistically significant, revealing a gradual elevation in higher CKD stage risk and reduction in eGFR levels for the second, third, and fourth quartiles compared to the lowest quartile (P for trend < 0.0001). Upon adjusting for age, gender, race, education level, poverty income ratio (PIR), marital status, body mass index (BMI), metabolic equivalent (MET) score, drinking, smoking, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, cotinine, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total triglycerides, and total cholesterol, we found a positive correlation between DII and the risk of higher CKD stage (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.14-1.40). Further investigation revealed that an increase in DII was associated with a decrease in eGFR (β = -1.29, 95% CI: -1.75, -0.83). Smooth curves illustrated a non-linear positive correlation between DII and CKD risk, while a non-linear negative correlation was observed between DII and eGFR. CONCLUSIONS Our study results indicate that an increase in DII is associated with an increased risk of higher CKD stage and a decrease in eGFR in all three models. In the fully adjusted model, the risk of higher CKD stage increased by 26% and the eGFR decreased by 1.29 ml/min/1.73 m2 for each unit increase in DII. This finding suggests that in patients with CKD in the US, improved diet and lower DII values may help slow the decline in eGFR and delay the progression of CKD.

Abstract
In today's industrialized society food consumption has changed immensely toward heightened red meat intake and use of artificial sweeteners instead of grains and vegetables or sugar, respectively. These dietary changes affect public health in general through an increased incidence of metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity, with a further elevated risk for cardiorenal complications. Research shows that high red meat intake and artificial sweeteners ingestion can alter the microbial composition and further intestinal wall barrier permeability allowing increased transmission of uremic toxins like p-cresyl sulfate, indoxyl sulfate, trimethylamine n-oxide and phenylacetylglutamine into the blood stream causing an array of pathophysiological effects especially as a strain on the kidneys, since they are responsible for clearing out the toxins. In this review, we address how the burden of the Western diet affects the gut microbiome in altering the microbial composition and increasing the gut permeability for uremic toxins and the detrimental effects thereof on early vascular aging, the kidney per se and the blood-brain barrier, in addition to the potential implications for dietary changes/interventions to preserve the health issues related to chronic diseases in future.

Re-Thinking Hyperkalaemia Management in Chronic Kidney Disease-Beyond Food Tables and Nutrition Myths: An Evidence-Based Practice Review. Nutrients 2023; 16:3. [PMID: 38201833 PMCID: PMC10780359 DOI: 10.3390/nu16010003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Potassium dysregulation can be life-threatening. Dietary potassium modification is a management strategy for hyperkalaemia. However, a 2017 review for clinical guidelines found no trials evaluating dietary restriction for managing hyperkalaemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Evidence regarding dietary hyperkalaemia management was reviewed and practice recommendations disseminated. A literature search using terms for potassium, hyperkalaemia, and CKD was undertaken from 2018 to October 2022. Researchers extracted data, discussed findings, and formulated practice recommendations. A consumer resource, a clinician education webinar, and workplace education sessions were developed. Eighteen studies were included. Observational studies found no association between dietary and serum potassium in CKD populations. In two studies, 40-60 mmol increases in dietary/supplemental potassium increased serum potassium by 0.2-0.4 mmol/L. No studies examined lowering dietary potassium as a therapeutic treatment for hyperkalaemia. Healthy dietary patterns were associated with improved outcomes and may predict lower serum potassium, as dietary co-factors may support potassium shifts intracellularly, and increase excretion through the bowel. The resource recommended limiting potassium additives, large servings of meat and milk, and including high-fibre foods: wholegrains, fruits, and vegetables. In seven months, the resource received > 3300 views and the webinar > 290 views. This review highlights the need for prompt review of consumer resources, hospital diets, and health professionals' knowledge.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a global public health crisis, but awareness by patients and providers is poor. Defined as persistent abnormalities in kidney structure or function for more than three months, manifested as either low glomerular filtration rate or presence of a marker of kidney damage such as albuminuria, CKD can be identified through readily available blood and urine tests. Early recognition of CKD is crucial for harnessing major advances in staging, prognosis, and treatment. This review discusses the evidence behind the general principles of CKD management, such as blood pressure and glucose control, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade, statin therapy, and dietary management. It additionally describes individualized approaches to treatment based on risk of kidney failure and cause of CKD. Finally, it reviews novel classes of kidney protective agents including sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, non-steroidal selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and endothelin receptor antagonists. Appropriate, widespread implementation of these highly effective therapies should improve the lives of people with CKD and decrease the worldwide incidence of kidney failure.

Abstract
The Mediterranean diet is a plant-based healthy diet similar to the vegetarian and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diets. Unlike vegetarian and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diets, the Mediterranean diet encourages a lifestyle associated with physical activity, and social connections. In addition, the Mediterranean diet is not based on restriction of nutrients but does limit intake of processed foods. Prospective studies have confirmed that the Mediterranean diet confers primary and secondary cardiovascular disease prevention in the general population. The benefits of the Mediterranean diet lifestyle include reducing the risk of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and lowers blood pressure. In adults with CKD, adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with a lower risk of CKD progression and its complications such as hyperphosphatemia and metabolic acidosis, and reduces production of uremic toxins and inflammatory mediators when compared to omnivore dietary patterns. Nevertheless, prospective studies are needed to confirm the cardiovascular disease prevention with the Mediterranean diet in adults with CKD. Medical nutrition therapy remains a cornerstone of CKD management, and the Mediterranean diet could be utilized to slow CKD progression and complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a major public health problem with differing disease etiologies, leads to complications, comorbidities, polypharmacy, and mortality. Monitoring disease progression and personalized treatment efforts are crucial for long-term patient outcomes. Physicians need to integrate different data levels, e.g., clinical parameters, biomarkers, and drug information, with medical knowledge. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) can tackle these issues and improve patient management. Knowledge about the awareness and implementation of CDSS in Germany within the field of nephrology is scarce. PURPOSE Nephrologists' attitude towards any CDSS and potential CDSS features of interest, like adverse event prediction algorithms, is important for a successful implementation. This survey investigates nephrologists' experiences with and expectations towards a useful CDSS for daily medical routine in the outpatient setting. METHODS The 38-item questionnaire survey was conducted either by telephone or as a do-it-yourself online interview amongst nephrologists across all of Germany. Answers were collected and analysed using the Electronic Data Capture System REDCap, as well as Stata SE 15.1, and Excel. The survey consisted of four modules: experiences with CDSS (M1), expectations towards a helpful CDSS (M2), evaluation of adverse event prediction algorithms (M3), and ethical aspects of CDSS (M4). Descriptive statistical analyses of all questions were conducted. RESULTS The study population comprised 54 physicians, with a response rate of about 80-100% per question. Most participants were aged between 51-60 years (45.1%), 64% were male, and most participants had been working in nephrology out-patient clinics for a median of 10.5 years. Overall, CDSS use was poor (81.2%), often due to lack of knowledge about existing CDSS. Most participants (79%) believed CDSS to be helpful in the management of CKD patients with a high willingness to try out a CDSS. Of all adverse event prediction algorithms, prediction of CKD progression (97.8%) and in-silico simulations of disease progression when changing, e. g., lifestyle or medication (97.7%) were rated most important. The spectrum of answers on ethical aspects of CDSS was diverse. CONCLUSION This survey provides insights into experience with and expectations of out-patient nephrologists on CDSS. Despite the current lack of knowledge on CDSS, the willingness to integrate CDSS into daily patient care, and the need for adverse event prediction algorithms was high.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive and incurable disease that impairs kidney function. Its prevalence is estimated to affect up to 800 million individuals within the general population, and patients with diabetes and hypertension are particularly at risk. This disorder disrupts the physiological mechanisms of the body, including water and electrolyte balance, blood pressure regulation, the excretion of toxins, and vitamin D metabolism. Consequently, patients are exposed to risks such as hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, metabolic acidosis, and blood pressure abnormalities. These risks can be reduced by implementing appropriate diagnostic methods, followed by non-pharmacological (such as physical activity, dietary, and lifestyle adjustment) and pharmacological strategies after diagnosis. Selecting the appropriate diet and suitable pharmacological treatment is imperative in maintaining kidney function as long as possible. Drugs such as finerenone, canakinumab, and pentoxifylline hold promise for improved outcomes among CKD patients. When these interventions prove insufficient, renal replacement therapy becomes essential. This is particularly critical in preserving residual renal function while awaiting renal transplantation or for patients deemed ineligible for such a procedure. The aim of this study is to present the current state of knowledge and recent advances, providing novel insights into the treatment of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a non-communicable disease that affects >10% of the general population worldwide; the number of patients affected by CKD is increasing due in part to the rise in risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. As many studies show, diet can be an important tool for preventing and mitigating the onset of non-communicable diseases. Plant-based diets (PBDs) are those that emphasize the consumption of plant foods and may or may not include small or moderate amounts of animal foods. Recently, these diets have received increasing interest because they have been associated with favourable effects on health and also appear to protect against the development and progression of CKD. PBDs, which are associated with protein restrictions, seem to offer adjunctive advantages in patients with chronic kidney disease, as compared to conventional low-protein diets that include animal proteins. The principal aims of this review are to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature regarding the role of plant-based diets and low-protein, plant-based diets in the context of chronic kidney disease. Moreover, we try to clarify the definition of plant-based diets, and then we analyse possible concerns about the use of PBDs in patients with chronic kidney disease (nutritional deficiency and hyperkalaemia risk). Finally, we offer some strategies to increase the nutritional value of plant-based low-protein diets. In the Materials and Methods section, many studies about plant-based diets and low-protein plant-based diets (e.g., the very-low-protein diet and vegan low-protein diet, LPD) in chronic kidney disease were considered. In the Results and Conclusion section, current data, most from observational studies, agree upon the protective effect of plant-based diets on kidney function. Moreover, in patients with advanced CKD, low-protein plant-based options, especially a very-low-protein diet supplemented with heteroanalogues (VLPDs), compared to a conventional LPD appear to offer adjunctive advances in terms of delaying dialysis and mitigating metabolic disturbances. However, further studies are necessary to better investigate the possible metabolic and cardiovascular advantages of plant-based LPDs versus conventional LPDs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were: (1) investigate hemodialysis (HD)/peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients' barriers to dietary adherence, (2) identify strategies to overcome these barriers, and (3) examine dialysis providers' perceptions toward patients' barriers to dietary adherence and strategies to overcome these barriers. METHODS A qualitative descriptive approach was conducted from February-May 2022. A total of 21 HD/PD participants and 11 health care providers participated in individual interviews. HD/PD participants also responded to a 57-item food frequency questionnaire. Six months of serum laboratory values were obtained from the medical charts. Content analysis methodology was used to identify themes. Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to examine diet quality and laboratory values of the HD and PD participants using SPSS v.27 with statistical significance of P < .05. RESULTS The median (interquartile range) diet quality score for HD/PD patients was 36 (26-43) with no differences observed between the patient populations. Mann-Whitney U tests showed no differences between serum laboratory values between the patient populations. Barriers identified by the HD/PD patients were communication/patient education and dietary habits. Barriers identified by the health care providers were communication/patient education and socioeconomic status. Strategies to overcome these barriers were enhancing communication between all parties involved in the care and tailoring educational information to the patient's background. CONCLUSIONS Communication and patient education were themes identified among both health care providers and patients. Therefore, open communication among the patients and providers and enhancement of the nutrition education handouts may improve dietary adherence.

Impact of the Level of Adherence to the DASH Diet on Blood Pressure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Metabolites 2023; 13:924. [PMID: 37623868 PMCID: PMC10456469 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13080924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: the objective of our study was to systematically review the current literature and perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of the level of adherence to the DASH diet on blood pressure. Methods: The identification of relevant studies, data extraction and critical appraisal of the included studies were performed independently by two reviewers. A random-effects model was employed to synthesize the available evidence using the standardized mean difference (SMD) as the appropriate effect size. Results: A total of 37 and 29 articles were included in the qualitative and quantitative analysis, respectively. The pooled effect for systolic blood pressure was SMD = -0.18 (95%CI: -0.32 to -0.04; I2 = 94%; PI: -0.93 to 0.57) and for diastolic blood pressure it was SMD = -0.13 (95%CI: -0.19 to -0.06; I2 = 94%; PI: -0.42 to 0.17). Conclusions: Our findings showed that greater adherence to the DASH diet has a beneficial effect on blood pressure compared to the lowest adherence. Increased compliance with DASH diet recommendations might also have a positive effect on cardiometabolic factors and overall health status. Future studies should aim to standardize the tools of adherence to the DASH diet and utilize rigorous study designs to establish a clearer understanding of the potential benefits of the level of adherence to the DASH diet in blood pressure management.

Ultraprocessed Foods and Kidney Disease Progression, Mortality, and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in the CRIC Study. Am J Kidney Dis 2023; 82:202-212. [PMID: 37028638 PMCID: PMC10524102 DOI: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2023.01.452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Ultraprocessed foods are widely consumed in the United States and are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), mortality, and kidney function decline in the general population. We investigated associations between ultraprocessed food intake and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, all-cause mortality, and incident CVD in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study participants who completed baseline dietary questionnaires. EXPOSURE Ultraprocessed food intake (in servings per day) classified according to the NOVA system. OUTCOMES CKD progression (≥50% decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] or initiation of kidney replacement therapy), all-cause mortality, and incident CVD (myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, or stroke). ANALYTICAL APPROACH Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for demographic, lifestyle, and health covariates. RESULTS There were 1,047 CKD progression events observed during a median follow-up of 7 years. Greater ultraprocessed food intake was associated with higher risk of CKD progression (tertile 3 vs tertile 1, HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.04-1.42; P=0.01 for trend). The association differed by baseline kidney function, such that greater intake was associated with higher risk among people with CKD stages 1/2 (eGFR≥60mL/min/1.73m2; tertile 3 vs tertile 1, HR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.32-5.18) but not stages 3a-5 (eGFR<60mL/min/1.73m2; P=0.003 for interaction). There were 1,104 deaths observed during a median follow-up of 14 years. Greater ultraprocessed food intake was associated with higher risk of mortality (tertile 3 vs tertile 1, HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.04-1.40; P=0.004 for trend). LIMITATIONS Self-reported diet. CONCLUSIONS Greater ultraprocessed food intake may be associated with CKD progression in earlier stages of CKD and is associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality in adults with CKD. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY Ultraprocessed foods are industrial formulations produced using ingredients and processes that are not commonly used in culinary preparations and contain few, if any, intact unprocessed foods. Ultraprocessed foods are widely consumed in the United States, and high intakes of such foods have been linked to cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and mortality in the general population. In this study, we found that greater intake of ultraprocessed foods was associated with higher risk of kidney disease progression and mortality in adults with chronic kidney disease. Our findings suggest that patients with kidney disease may benefit from greater consumption of fresh, whole, and homemade or hand-prepared foods and fewer highly processed foods.

Clin Nutr 2023:S0261-5614(23)00166-8. [PMID: 37308369 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2023.05.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Population-based studies have shown both beneficial and neutral associations between dairy consumption and kidney function outcomes. We investigated the association between dairy products and kidney function decline in drug-treated post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients. METHODS We analysed data of 2169 post-MI patients (aged 60-80 years, 81% male) of the Alpha Omega Cohort. Dietary data were collected at baseline (2002-2006) using a validated 203-item food frequency questionnaire. The 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equation was used to estimate 40-months change in creatinine-cystatin C based glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcr-cysC, mL/min per 1.73 m2). Beta coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for dairy products in relation to annual eGFRcr-cysC change were obtained from multivariable linear regression, adjusted for age, sex, energy intake, and other lifestyle and dietary factors. RESULTS Baseline energy-adjusted median intakes were 64 g/day for total milk, 20 g/day for hard cheeses, 18 g/day for plain yogurt, and 70 g/day for dairy desserts. Mean ± SD eGFRcr-cysC was 84 ± 20 (13% with CKD), and annual eGFRcr-cysC change was -1.71 ± 3.85. In multivariable models, high vs. low intakes of total milk, cheese, and dairy desserts were not associated with annual eGFRcr-cysC change (βtotal milk: -0.21 [-0.60; 0.19], βcheese: -0.08 [-0.52; 0.36], βdairy desserts: -0.24 [-0.72; 0.24]). High vs. low intake of yogurt was adversely associated with annual eGFRcr-cysC change (βtotal yogurt: -0.50 [-0.91;-0.09]), but subsequent spline analyses showed no clear dose-response association. CONCLUSIONS Intakes of milk, cheese or dairy desserts were not associated with a delayed kidney function decline after MI. The observed adverse association for yogurt should be interpreted with caution. Our findings require confirmation in other cohorts of coronary heart disease patients.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) represents a public health risk due to its non-biodegradability and long biological half-life. The main target of Cd is the kidney, where it accumulates. In the present narrative review, we assessed experimental and clinical data dealing with the mechanisms of kidney morphological and functional damage caused by Cd and the state of the art about possible therapeutic managements. Intriguingly, skeleton fragility related to Cd exposure has been demonstrated to be induced both by a direct Cd toxic effect on bone mineralization and by renal failure. Our team and other research groups studied the possible pathophysiological molecular pathways induced by Cd, such as lipid peroxidation, inflammation, programmed cell death, and hormonal kidney discrepancy, that, through further molecular crosstalk, trigger serious glomerular and tubular injury, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Moreover, CKD is associated with the presence of dysbiosis, and the results of recent studies have confirmed the altered composition and functions of the gut microbial communities in CKD. Therefore, as recent knowledge demonstrates a strong connection between diet, food components, and CKD management, and also taking into account that gut microbiota are very sensitive to these biological factors and environmental pollutants, nutraceuticals, mainly present in foods typical of the Mediterranean diet, can be considered a safe therapeutic strategy in Cd-induced kidney damage and, accordingly, could help in the prevention and treatment of CKD.

Abstract
Little is known about the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We aimed to investigate the long-term trends in CKD prevalence from South Korea including the early pandemic. We used data from 108,152 Korean adults from 2007 to 2020 obtained from a representative longitudinal serial study. We defined CKD as a condition when the participant's estimated glomerular filtration rate was < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, or one-time spot proteinuria was ≥ 1 +, and then examined the overall trends in the prevalence of CKD. Among the included adults (n = 80,010), the overall national prevalence of CKD was 6.2%. The trend slope gradually increased from 2007 to 2019, however, there was a sudden decrease in 2020 (2007-2010, 5.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.7-5.5]; 2017-2019, 7.1% [95% CI 6.6-7.6]; pandemic period, 6.5% [95% CI 5.7-7.3]; and βdiff, - 0.19; 95% CI - 0.24 to - 0.13). The prevalence of CKD among younger adults and those with poor medical utilization significantly decreased during the early pandemic. This study was the first large-scale study to investigate the longitudinal prevalence of CKD from 2007 to 2020. Further research is needed to fully understand the exact causes for this decline and to identify healthcare policy strategies for preventing and managing CKD.

Abstract
Background and aimsDietary factors play an important role in the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, evidence on the relationship of beans consumption with CKD remains limited and inconclusive, especially in the middle-and low-income populations. The current study aimed to investigate the relationships of beans intake with indicators of kidney injury and CKD prevalence in rural adults.MethodsA total of 20,733 rural adults from the Henan Rural Cohort Study in 2018–2022 were included. The total beans intake was collected using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Indicators of kidney injury and CKD was determined by the estimated glomerular filtration rate and the urinary albumin to creatinine ratio. Generalized linear regression and logistic regression models were applied to estimate the relationship of beans intake with continuous and dichotomized indicators of renal function, respectively.ResultsOf the 20,733 participants, 2,676 (12.91%) subjects were identified as CKD patients. After adjusting for potential confounders, participants in the higher quartiles of beans intake had a lower prevalence of CKD (odds ratio and 95% confidence interval, OR (95%CI); Q2: 0.968(0.866–1.082); Q3: 0.836(0.744–0.939); Q4: 0.854(0.751–0.970)) and albuminuria (Q2: 0.982(0.875–1.102); Q3: 0.846(0.750–0.954); Q4: 0.852 (0.746–0.973)), compared with the Q1. Per 50 g/day increment in beans intake was significantly associated with a 5 and 4% decreased prevalence of albuminuria and CKD, respectively. These inverse relationships were also significant in the subgroups of men, elder, and high-income participants (p < 0.05).ConclusionDietary beans intake was inversely associated with the prevalence of albuminuria and CKD in rural adults, suggesting that promoting soy food intake might help reduce the occurrence of CKD in rural adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study assessed the association of dietary patterns with the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney function decline among Korean adults. METHODS Data were collected from the records of 20,147 men and 39,857 women who participated in the Health Examinees study. Principal component analysis was used to identify 3 dietary patterns (prudent, flour-based food and meat, and white rice-based), and CKD risk was defined using the Epidemiology Collaboration equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate: (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. A kidney function decline was defined as a >25% decrease in eGFR from baseline. RESULTS During the 4.2-year follow-up, 978 participants developed CKD and 971 had a 25% decline in kidney function. After adjusting for potential impact variables, compared with the lowest quartile of the prudent dietary pattern, participants in the highest quartile had a 37% lower risk of kidney function decline among men (hazard ratio [HR], 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.47 to 0.85); while higher adherence to the flour-based food and meat dietary pattern was associated with an increased risk of CKD in both men (HR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.22 to 2.19) and women (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.05 to 2.05) as well as a decline in kidney function in both men (HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.07 to 2.07) and women (HR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.33 to 2.35). CONCLUSIONS Although a higher adherence to the prudent dietary pattern was inversely associated with the risk of kidney function decline in men, there was no association with CKD risk. In addition, a higher adherence to the flour-based food and meat dietary pattern increased the risk of CKD and kidney function decline. Further clinical trials are needed to confirm these associations.

Abstract
Food has the potential to cause and exacerbate many lifestyle diseases. Or it can be used to prevent and treat illnesses like primary hypertension, the metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance. In parallel, there is also a growing body of evidence of the role of diet in the treatment of kidney disease and its ensuing complications. Popular diets for this purpose have included low-carbohydrate diets, including the ketogenic diet, and higher carbohydrate diets like Mediterranean diets and other plant-based dietary patterns. Low-carbohydrate diets have not shown harm in patients with kidney disease and may benefit a select few. Mediterranean diets have an established record of cardioprotective benefits but also may be beneficial for the kidney. Intermittent fasting has benefits for metabolic health, but limited research exists on the risk or benefit for patients with kidney disease. Plant-based diets, especially those that are lower in protein, may slow kidney disease progression, mitigate uremia, and delay dialysis initiation. Although each dietary pattern has its unique pros and cons, most healthful dietary patterns favor the inclusion of whole, unprocessed foods, preferably from plant-based sources. In this perspective, we discuss the risks and benefits of major popular diets to help guide health care professionals in treating patients with kidney disease.

[PMID: 36901049 PMCID: PMC10002197 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20054040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Patients on renal replacement therapy are typically subject to several dietary restrictions; however, this approach has been questioned in recent years, with some suggesting that the Mediterranean diet might be beneficial. Data on the adherence to this diet and factors that influence it are scarce. We conducted a web survey among individuals on renal replacement therapy (dialysis or kidney transplant, KT) using the MEDI-LITE questionnaire to assess adherence to the Mediterranean diet and dietary habits in this population. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was generally low, and significantly lower among participants on dialysis versus KT recipients (19.4% vs. 44.7%, p < 0.001). Being on dialysis, adopting fluid restrictions, and having a basic level of education were predictors of low adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Consumption of foods typically included in the Mediterranean diet, including fruit, legumes, fish, and vegetables, was generally low, particularly among those on dialysis. There is a need for strategies to improve both the adherence to and the quality of the diet among individuals on renal replacement therapy. This should be a shared responsibility between registered dietitians, physicians, and the patient.

Lifestyle Modifications and Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions in Delaying the Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Review. Cureus 2023; 15:e34572. [PMID: 36874334 PMCID: PMC9981552 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.34572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a debilitating progressive illness that affects more than 10% of the world's population. In this literature review, we discussed the roles of nutritional interventions, lifestyle modifications, hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) control, and medications in delaying the progression of CKD. Walking, weight loss, low-protein diet (LPD), adherence to the alternate Mediterranean (aMed) diet, and Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI)-2010 slow the progression of CKD. However, smoking and binge alcohol drinking increase the risk of CKD progression. In addition, hyperglycemia, altered lipid metabolism, low-grade inflammation, over-activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), and overhydration (OH) increase diabetic CKD progression. The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines recommend blood pressure (BP) control of <140/90 mmHg in patients without albuminuria and <130/80 mmHg in patients with albuminuria to prevent CKD progression. Medical therapies aim to target epigenetic alterations, fibrosis, and inflammation. Currently, RAAS blockade, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, pentoxifylline, and finerenone are approved for managing CKD. In addition, according to the completed Study of Diabetic Nephropathy with Atrasentan (SONAR), atrasentan, an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), decreased the risk of renal events in diabetic CKD patients. However, ongoing trials are studying the role of other agents in slowing the progression of CKD.

Association of the gut microbiome with kidney function and damage in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). Gut Microbes 2023; 15:2186685.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gut microbiome is altered in chronic kidney disease (CKD), potentially contributing to CKD progression and co-morbidities, but population-based studies of the gut microbiome across a wide range of kidney function and damage are lacking. METHODS In the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, gut microbiome was assessed by shotgun sequencing of stool (n = 2,438; 292 with suspected CKD). We examined cross-sectional associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary albumin:creatinine (UAC) ratio, and CKD with gut microbiome features. Kidney trait-related microbiome features were interrogated for correlation with serum metabolites (n = 700), and associations of microbiome-related serum metabolites with kidney trait progression were examined in a prospective analysis (n = 3,635). RESULTS Higher eGFR was associated with overall gut microbiome composition, greater abundance of species from Prevotella, Faecalibacterium, Roseburia, and Eubacterium, and microbial functions related to synthesis of long-chain fatty acids and carbamoyl-phosphate. Higher UAC ratio and CKD were related to lower gut microbiome diversity and altered overall microbiome composition only in participants without diabetes. Microbiome features related to better kidney health were associated with many serum metabolites (e.g., higher indolepropionate, beta-cryptoxanthin; lower imidazole propionate, deoxycholic acids, p-cresol glucuronide). Imidazole propionate, deoxycholic acid metabolites, and p-cresol glucuronide were associated with prospective reductions in eGFR and/or increases in UAC ratio over ~6 y. CONCLUSIONS Kidney function is a significant correlate of the gut microbiome, while the relationship of kidney damage with the gut microbiome depends on diabetes status. Gut microbiome metabolites may contribute to CKD progression.

Association of Vitamin K Status with Arterial Calcification and Stiffness in Chronic Kidney Disease: The Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort. Curr Dev Nutr 2023; 7:100008. [PMID: 37181121 PMCID: PMC10100935 DOI: 10.1016/j.cdnut.2022.100008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Arterial calcification and stiffness are common in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Higher vitamin K status has been associated with less arterial calcification and stiffness in CKD in cross-sectional studies. Objectives To determine the association of vitamin K status with coronary artery calcium (CAC) and arterial stiffness [pulse wave velocity (PWV)] at baseline and over 2-4 follow-up years in adults with mild-to-moderate CKD. Methods Participants (n = 2722) were drawn from the well-characterized Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort. Two vitamin K status biomarkers, plasma phylloquinone and plasma dephospho-uncarboxylated matrix gla protein [(dp)ucMGP], were measured at baseline. CAC and PWV were measured at baseline and over 2-4 y of follow-up. Differences across vitamin K status categories in CAC prevalence, incidence, and progression (defined as ≥100 Agatston units/y increase) and PWV at baseline and over follow-up were evaluated using multivariable-adjusted generalized linear models. Results CAC prevalence, incidence, and progression did not differ across plasma phylloquinone categories. Moreover, CAC prevalence and incidence did not differ according to plasma (dp)ucMGP concentration. Compared with participants with the highest (dp)ucMGP (≥450 pmol/L), those in the middle category (300-449 pmol/L) had a 49% lower rate of CAC progression (incidence rate ratio: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.33, 0.78). However, CAC progression did not differ between those with the lowest (<300 pmol/L) and those with the highest plasma (dp)ucMGP concentration (incidence rate ratio: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.56, 1.19). Neither vitamin K status biomarker was associated with PWV at baseline or longitudinally. Conclusions Vitamin K status was not consistently associated with CAC or PWV in adults with mild-to-moderate CKD.

Self-Perceived Barriers and Facilitators to Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Diet Adherence Among Black Americans With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Qualitative Study. J Ren Nutr 2023; 33:59-68.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan improves hypertension in Black individuals and is associated with favorable chronic kidney disease (CKD) outcomes. Yet, adherence to DASH is low among US adults in general, particularly among Black Americans. We assessed perceptions about DASH, its cultural compatibility, and barriers and facilitators to DASH adherence in Black adults with CKD. DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted focus groups and semistructured individual interviews involving 22 Black men and women with CKD Stages 3-4 from outpatient clinics at a US academic medical center. Transcripts of audio-recorded interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. RESULTS Among participants (2 focus groups [N = 8 and 5] and 9 individual interviews), 13 (59%) had CKD Stage 3, 13 (59%) were female, the median age was 61 years, and 19 (90%) had hypertension. After receiving information about DASH, participants perceived it as culturally compatible based on 3 emergent themes: (1) Black individuals already eat DASH-recommended foods ("Blacks eat pretty much like this"), (2) traditional recipes (e.g., southern or soul food) can be modified into healthy versions ("you can come up with decent substitutes to make it just as good"), and ( 3) diet is not uniform among Black individuals ("I can't say that I eat traditional"). Perceived barriers to DASH adherence included unfamiliarity with serving sizes, poor cooking skills, unsupportive household members, and high cost of healthy food. Eleven (52%) reported after paying monthly bills that they "rarely" or "never" had leftover money to purchase healthy food. Perceived facilitators included having local access to healthy food, living alone or with supportive household members, and having willpower and internal/external motivation for change. CONCLUSIONS Black adults with CKD viewed DASH as a healthy, culturally compatible diet. Recognizing that diet in Black adults is not uniform, interventions should emphasize person-centered, rather than stereotypically culture-centered, approaches to DASH adherence.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease has become a serious public health issue, as well as others health problems such as hypertension, DM, and obesity. Mediterranean diet (MD) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer and can lead to weight loss in obesity. There are studies that suggest that MD could be the diet of choice for patients with CKD for its influence on endothelial function, inflammation, lipid profile and blood pressure. There are few studies that tell us how to adapt MD to this group of patients. This review aims to offer a practical approach to Mediterranean diet adaptation as nutritional treatment in CKD patients.

Abstract
Introduction. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet (MD) on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and cardiac geometry in chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis (CKD-5D), given the high prevalence of cardiovascular morbidity in this population. Methods. n = 127 (77 men and 50 women) CKD-5D patients (69 on hemodialysis and 58 on peritoneal dialysis) with a mean age of 62 ± 15 years were studied. An MD adherence score (MDS) (range 0−55, 55 representing maximal adherence) was estimated with a validated method. Echocardiographic LVH was defined by LV mass index (LVMI) > 95 g/m2 in women and >115 g/m2 in men. Based on LVMI and relative wall thickness (RWT), four LV geometric patterns were defined: normal (normal LVMI and RWT), concentric remodeling (normal LVMI and increased RWT > 0.42), eccentric LVH (increased LVMI and normal RWT), and concentric LVH (increased LVMI and RWT). Results. Patients with LVH (n = 81) as compared to patients with no LVH (n = 46) were older in age (66 ± 13 vs. 55 ± 16 years; p < 0.001) had lower MDS (24 ± 2.7 vs. 25 ± 4.3; p < 0.05) and higher malnutrition-inflammation score (5.0 ± 2.7 vs. 3.9 ± 1.9; p < 0.05), body mass index (27.5 ± 4.9 vs. 24.1 ± 3.5 kg/m2; p < 0.001), prevalence of diabetes (79% vs. 20%; p < 0.05), coronary artery disease (78% vs. 20%; p < 0.05) and peripheral vascular disease (78% vs. 20%; p < 0.01). In a multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for all factors mentioned above, each 1-point greater MDS was associated with 18% lower odds of having LVH (OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.69−0.98; p < 0.05). MDS was inversely related to LVMI (r = −0.273; p = 0.02), and in a multiple linear regression model (where LVMI was analyzed as a continuous variable), MDS emerged as a significant (Β = −2.217; p < 0.01) independent predictor of LVH. Considering LV geometry, there was a progressive decrease in MDS from the normal group (25.0 ± 3.7) to concentric remodeling (25.8 ± 3.0), eccentric (24.0 ± 2.8), and then concentric (23.6 ± 2.7) group (p < 0.05 for the trend). Conclusions. The greater adherence to an MD is associated with lesser LVH, an important cardiovascular disease risk factor; MD preserves normal cardiac geometry and may confer protection against future cardiac dysfunction in dialysis patients.

Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index Is Associated With 5-Year All Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality Among Chronic Kidney Disease Patients. Front Nutr 2022; 9:899004.

Abstract
Background Diet management is a pivotal intervention for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Dietary inflammation index (DII) is developed to evaluate the integral inflammatory potential of a diet pattern. However, research about the association between DII and mortality in CKD is limited. Objective We conducted a cohort study to investigate the relationship between energy-adjusted DII (E-DII) and the 5-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in CKD population. Materials and Methods CKD participants with complete E-DII data and death status from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999–2014) were involved in this study. E-DII was calculated based on dietary recall interviews. Smooth curve fitting, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between E-DII and the 5-year all cause and cardiovascular mortality. Subgroup analysis was also performed. Results A total of 7,207 participants were included (55.46% elderly and 46.54% male) in this study. The 5-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were 16.86 and 4.32%, respectively. Smooth curve fitting showed a “J” shape and near linear relationship between the E-DII score and the 5-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, respectively. In multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals [CI]) for the highest tertile of the E-DII were 1.33 (1.15, 1.54) for all-cause mortality, and 1.54 (1.15, 2.07) for cardiovascular mortality when compared with the lowest tertile of the E-DII. The subgroup analyses revealed relatively stronger associations between the E-DII and the mortality among CKD patients with other death risk factors. Conclusions Energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index is independently related with the 5-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among CKD patients. Therefore, anti-inflammatory diet patterns should be recommended for CKD patients.

Abstract
Increasing potassium intake ameliorates blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular (CV) prognoses in the general population; therefore the World Health Organization recommends a high-potassium diet (90–120 mEq/day). Hyperkalaemia is a rare condition in healthy individuals due to the ability of the kidneys to effectively excrete dietary potassium load in urine, while an increase in serum K+ is prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hyperkalaemia prevalence increases in more advanced CKD stages, and is associated with a poor prognosis. This scenario generates controversy on the correct nutritional approach to hyperkalaemia in CKD patients, considering the unproven link between potassium intake and serum K+ levels. Another concern is that drug-induced hyperkalaemia leads to the down-titration or withdrawal of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASI) and mineralocorticoids receptors antagonists (MRA) in patients with CKD, depriving these patients of central therapeutic interventions aimed at delaying CKD progression and decreasing CV mortality. The new K+-binder drugs (Patiromer and Sodium-Zirconium Cyclosilicate) have proven to be adequate and safe therapeutic options to control serum K+ in CKD patients, enabling RASI and MRA therapy, and possibly, a more liberal intake of fruit and vegetables.

[PMID: 35721622 DOI: 10.34067/kid.0003122021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 01/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Living a healthy lifestyle is one of the safest and most cost-effective ways to improve one's quality of life and prevent and/or manage chronic disease. As such, current CKD management guidelines recommend that patients adhere to a healthy diet, perform ≥150 minutes per week of physical activity, manage their body weight, abstain from tobacco use, and limit alcohol. However, there are limited studies that investigate the relationship between these lifestyle factors and the progression of CKD among people with established CKD. In this narrative review, we examine the reported frequencies of health lifestyle behavior engagement among individuals with non-dialysis-dependent CKD and the existing literature that examines the influences of diet, physical activity, weight management, alcohol consumption, and tobacco use on the progression of CKD, as measured by decline in GFR, incident ESKD, or elevated proteinuria or albuminuria in individuals with CKD. Many of the available studies are limited by length of follow-up and small sample sizes, and meta-analyses were limited because the studies were sparse and had heterogeneous classifications of behaviors and/or referent groups and of CKD progression. Further research should be done to determine optimal methods to assess behaviors to better understand the levels at which healthy lifestyle behaviors are needed to slow CKD progression, to investigate the effect of combining multiple lifestyle behaviors on important clinical outcomes in CKD, and to develop effective techniques for behavior change. Despite the lack of evidence of efficacy from large trials on the ability of lifestyle behaviors to slow CKD progression, maintaining a healthy lifestyle remains a cornerstone of CKD management given the undisputed benefits of healthy lifestyle behaviors on cardiovascular health, BP control, and survival.

Association between Use of Nutrition Labels and Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease: The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2008-2019. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14091731. [PMID: 35565698 PMCID: PMC9105550 DOI: 10.3390/nu14091731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Nutrition labeling on food packages is increasingly found to promote healthier food choices associated with lower risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). To examine associations between nutrition labels use and CKD risk, we conducted a nationally representative cross-sectional study of 32,080 adults from the 2008−2019 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Nutrition labels use was collected via self-reported questionnaires. Ascertainment and severity of CKD was determined by estimated glomerular filtration rate or proteinuria. In multivariable-adjusted (MV) logistic regression models, increasing awareness and use of nutrition labels was significantly associated with lower CKD risk (MV-adjusted OR “nutrition labels aware and use” group vs. “nutrition labels unaware” group [95% CIs]: 0.75 [0.59−0.95], Ptrend:0.03). This inverse association varied with CKD’s risk of progression, with 21% and 42% reduced risk observed for CKD subtypes with “moderate” and “high” risk of progression, respectively (all Ptrend ≤ 0.04). Furthermore, the nutrition labels use and CKD risk association significantly differed by age, with 35% reduced risk observed in the older group aged 49 years or older, but not in the younger group (Pinteraction < 0.001). Our results suggest increasing perception and use of nutrition labels may contribute to CKD prevention and its early asymptomatic progression, especially in older adults.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the association between three different a priori dietary patterns adherence (17-item energy reduced-Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet), Trichopoulou-MedDiet and Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH)), as well as the Protein Diet Score and kidney function decline after one year of follow-up in elderly individuals with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods We prospectively analyzed 5675 participants (55–75 years) from the PREDIMED-Plus study. At baseline and at one year, we evaluated the creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and food-frequency questionnaires-derived dietary scores. Associations between four categories (decrease/maintenance and tertiles of increase) of each dietary pattern and changes in eGFR (ml/min/1.73m2) or ≥ 10% eGFR decline were assessed by fitting multivariable linear or logistic regression models, as appropriate. Results Participants in the highest tertile of increase in 17-item erMedDiet Score showed higher upward changes in eGFR (β: 1.87 ml/min/1.73m2; 95% CI: 1.00–2.73) and had lower odds of ≥ 10% eGFR decline (OR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.47–0.82) compared to individuals in the decrease/maintenance category, while Trichopoulou-MedDiet and DASH Scores were not associated with any renal outcomes. Those in the highest tertile of increase in Protein Diet Score had greater downward changes in eGFR (β: − 0.87 ml/min/1.73m2; 95% CI: − 1.73 to − 0.01) and 32% higher odds of eGFR decline (OR: 1.32; 95% CI: 1.00–1.75). Conclusions Among elderly individuals with overweight/obesity and MetS, only higher upward change in the 17-item erMedDiet score adherence was associated with better kidney function after one year. However, increasing Protein Diet Score appeared to have an adverse impact on kidney health. Trial Registration Number: ISRCTN89898870 (Data of registration: 2014).

[PMID: 35348601 PMCID: PMC9257475 DOI: 10.1093/ajcn/nqac073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultraprocessing makes food products more convenient, appealing, and profitable. Recent studies show that high ultraprocessed food (UPF) intake is associated with cardiometabolic diseases. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to investigate the association between UPF consumption and risks of kidney function decline in the general population. METHODS In a prospective, general population-based Lifelines cohort from Northern Netherlands, 78,346 participants free of chronic kidney disease (CKD) at baseline responded to a 110-item FFQ. We used a multivariable regression analysis to study the associations of the proportion (in grams/day) of UPFs in the total diet with a composite kidney outcome [incident CKD or a ≥30% estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline relative to baseline] and annual change in eGFR. RESULTS On average, 37.7% of total food intake came from UPFs. After 3.6 ± 0.9 years of follow-up, 2470 participants (3.2%) reached the composite kidney outcome. Participants in the highest quartile of UPF consumption were associated with a higher risk of the composite kidney outcome (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.09-1.47; P = 0.003) compared with those in the lowest quartile, regardless of their macro- or micronutrient intake or diet quality. Participants in the highest quartile had a more rapid eGFR decline (β, -0.17; 95% CI, -0.23 to -0.11; P < 0.001) compared with those in the lowest quartile. Associations were generally consistent across different subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Higher UPF consumption was associated with a higher risk of a composite kidney outcome (incident CKD or ≥30% eGFR decline) and a more rapid eGFR decline in the general population, independent of confounders and other dietary indices.

[PMID: 34788785 PMCID: PMC8895220 DOI: 10.1093/ajcn/nqab375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vitamin K-dependent proteins function as calcification inhibitors in vascular tissue. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the association of vitamin K status with mortality and CVD events in adults with CKD. METHODS Plasma dephospho-uncarboxylated matrix gla protein ((dp)ucMGP), which increases when vitamin K status is low, and plasma phylloquinone (vitamin K1), which decreases when vitamin K status is low, were measured in 3066 Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort participants (median age = 61 y, 45% female, 41% non-Hispanic black, median estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] = 41 mL/min/1.73m2). The association of vitamin K status biomarkers with all-cause mortality and atherosclerotic-related CVD was determined using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS There were 1122 deaths and 599 atherosclerotic CVD events over the median 12.8 follow-up years. All-cause mortality risk was 21-29% lower among participants with plasma (dp)ucMGP <450 pmol/L (n = 2361) compared with those with plasma (dp)ucMGP ≥450 pmol/L (adjusted HRs [95% CIs]: <300 pmol/L = 0.71 [0.61, 0.83], 300-449 pmol/L = 0.77 [0.66, 0.90]) and 16-19% lower among participants with plasma phylloquinone ≥0.50 nmol/L (n = 2421) compared to those with plasma phylloquinone <0.50 nmol/L (adjusted HRs: 0.50, 0.99 nmol/L = 0.84 [0.72, 0.99], ≥1.00 nmol/L = 0.81 [0.70, 0.95]). The risk of atherosclerotic CVD events did not significantly differ across plasma (dp)ucMGP or phylloquinone categories. CONCLUSIONS Two biomarkers of vitamin K status were associated with a lower all-cause mortality risk but not atherosclerotic CVD events. Additional studies are needed to clarify the mechanism underlying this association and evaluate the impact of improving vitamin K status in people with CKD.

Abstract
A wealth of evidence has suggested sex (biological) and gender (sociocultural) differences in the prevalence, progression, and outcomes of persons with chronic kidney disease. Much of this evidence tends to emphasize differences in which women are disadvantaged, and less attention is paid to findings in which women are better off or similar to men. However, gender medicine recognizes that men and women have different disease determinants, presentation, and attitudes, and it pertains to both sexes. In this review, we revisit chronic kidney disease through the perspective of men, and illustrate a population segment at need of stringent preventative and management strategies.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) after cardiovascular disease. The incidence of CKD in patients with cancer is higher than in the non-cancer population. Across various populations, CKD is associated with an elevated risk of cancer incidence and cancer death compared with people without CKD, although the risks are cancer site-specific. Higher risk of cancer is detectable in mild CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2], although this risk is more obvious if sensitive markers of kidney disease are used, such as cystatin C. Independent of eGFR, albuminuria is associated with increased risk of site-specific cancer incidence and death. Here, we explore the potential mechanisms for the increased risk of cancer observed in CKD, including patient factors (shared risks such as cardiometabolic disease, obesity, smoking, diet, lifestyle and environment), disease (genetic, inflammatory and infective) and treatment factors. In particular, we discuss the ways in which renal adverse events associated with conventional chemotherapies and newer systemic anti-cancer therapies (including targeted and immunotherapies) may contribute to worse cancer outcomes in people with CKD. Finally, we review the potential benefits of acknowledging increased risk of cancer in risk prediction tools used for the management of CKD.

Abstract
Poor diet quality is strongly associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. This scientific statement emphasizes the importance of dietary patterns beyond individual foods or nutrients, underscores the critical role of nutrition early in life, presents elements of heart-healthy dietary patterns, and highlights structural challenges that impede adherence to heart-healthy dietary patterns. Evidence-based dietary pattern guidance to promote cardiometabolic health includes the following: (1) adjust energy intake and expenditure to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight; (2) eat plenty and a variety of fruits and vegetables; (3) choose whole grain foods and products; (4) choose healthy sources of protein (mostly plants; regular intake of fish and seafood; low-fat or fat-free dairy products; and if meat or poultry is desired, choose lean cuts and unprocessed forms); (5) use liquid plant oils rather than tropical oils and partially hydrogenated fats; (6) choose minimally processed foods instead of ultra-processed foods; (7) minimize the intake of beverages and foods with added sugars; (8) choose and prepare foods with little or no salt; (9) if you do not drink alcohol, do not start; if you choose to drink alcohol, limit intake; and (10) adhere to this guidance regardless of where food is prepared or consumed. Challenges that impede adherence to heart-healthy dietary patterns include targeted marketing of unhealthy foods, neighborhood segregation, food and nutrition insecurity, and structural racism. Creating an environment that facilitates, rather than impedes, adherence to heart-healthy dietary patterns among all individuals is a public health imperative.

Abstract
Restriction of dietary phosphorus intake is an important component of good clinical practice in kidney failure patients, particularly after dialysis initiation. Greater consumption of predominantly plant-based diets, including phytate-rich foods, is increasingly recommended for health maintenance/disease prevention in this population, with the implicit assumption that phytate-phosphorus in whole-grain cereals, legumes, pulses, and nuts is poorly absorbed. Review of human interventions with diets high in phytate-phosphorus indeed suggests an absorption of at least 50%, still less than animal protein-bound phosphorus, but higher than the generally believed 10-30%. Factors largely ignored up to now, but of potential influence on phytate-phosphorus bioavailability, include effect of food processing in releasing phosphorus, action of colonic bacteria that are able to release inorganic phosphorus, and capacity of the colon to absorb phosphorus. These issues may become increasingly important as new plant-based alternatives to meats, all containing phytate, are being rapidly introduced in the market.

Healthcare (Basel) 2021; 9:healthcare9111585. [PMID: 34828630 PMCID: PMC8624118 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare9111585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
This pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a family-based psychoeducational intervention for patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and their family members. This was a single-group (six dyads), six-week, pre–post pilot study, delivered in a multifamily group format. Feasibility was based on screening, eligibility, content, retention, completion, and intervention adherence rates. Acceptability was assessed at post-intervention through a focus group interview. Self-reported anxiety and depression and patients’ inter-dialytic weight gain (IDWG) were also measured. The screening (93.5%), retention (85.7%), and completion (100%) rates were satisfactory, whereas eligibility (22.8%), consent (18.4%), and intervention adherence (range: 16.7–50%) rates were the most critical. Findings showed that participants appreciated the intervention and perceived several educational and emotional benefits. The results from the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed that a significant decrease in anxiety symptoms (p = 0.025, r = 0.646) was found, which was followed by medium to large within-group effect sizes for changes in depression symptoms (p = 0.261, r = 0.325) and patients’ IDWG (p = 0.248, r = 0.472), respectively. Overall, the results indicated that this family-based psychoeducational intervention is likely to be feasible, acceptable, and effective for patients undergoing HD and their family caregivers; nonetheless, further considerations are needed on how to make the intervention more practical and easily implemented in routine dialysis care before proceeding to large-scale trials.

Impact of the level of adherence to the Mediterranean Diet on blood pressure: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. Clin Nutr 2021; 40:5771-5780.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High blood pressure (BP) constitutes a common and serious medical condition which is rising globally, and is among preventable factors for cardiovascular, renal, brain and other diseases. Modifiable risk factors of high BP include unhealthy dietary patterns, presence of obesity, excess alcohol consumption and lack of physical activity. Data in regard to the different types of diets show that Mediterranean diet (MD) is associated with healthy levels of BP. In this study we aimed to investigate the impact of the level of adherence to MD in BP. AIMS-METHODS A systematic literature search (up to 08.2021) in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane and Google Scholar databases was conducted, and 54 observational studies were included. RESULTS Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was found to be lower in the high adherence to MD group SMD: -0.08, (95%CI: -0.15, -0.02) whereas no differences regarding diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were observed between the high and low adherence to MD groups [SMD: -0.07, (95%CI: -0.13, 0.00)]. Mean DBP of all included studies for both high and low adherence groups were in healthy levels (<90 mmHg). CONCLUSIONS Higher adherence to MD could positively influence SBP, but further research is needed in this field due to the heterogeneous definitions of low/high adherence and the type of studies used (observational).
