Nutrient intake assessed with Diet History Questionnaire II, in relation to long-term calcium-phosphate control in hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal failure
Abstract
Background. Diet is a key factor that determines proper alignment of calcium-phosphate and nutritional status among hemodialysis (HD) patients. Objectives. To assess the nutrient intake in relation to long-term calcium-phosphate control in HD patients with end-stage renal failure. Material and methods. The study included 107 patients (66 men, 41 women) from 10 dialysis centers in the Upper Silesia region of ...
Nephrotoxic Effect of Aspartame as an Artificial Sweetener
Aspartame is one of the most popular artificial sweeteners over the world. Although its consumption is considered to be safe in acceptable daily intake ranges which were set by the United States Food and Drugs Administration and other regulatory agencies, there are lots of controversies regarding its safety nowadays. Some of the recent experimental and epidemiological studies showed that consumption of aspartame may causes some adverse health
effects including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and alteration in gut microbiota. ...
Higher Protein Intake Is Not Associated with Decreased Kidney Function in Pre-Diabetic Older
Adults Following a One-Year Intervention—A Preview Sub-Study
Abstract
Concerns about detrimental renal effects of a high-protein intake have been raised due to an induced glomerular hyperfiltration, since this may accelerate the progression of kidney disease. The aim of this sub-study was to assess the effect of a higher intake of protein on kidney function in pre-diabetic men and women, aged 55 years and older. Analyses were based on baseline and one-year data in a sub-group of 310 ...
Green Tea Polyphenols Ameliorate the Early Renal Damage Induced by a High-Fat Diet via Ketogenesis/SIRT3 Pathway
Scope. Several reports in the literature have suggested the renoprotective effects of ketone bodies and green tea polyphenols (GTPs). Our previous study found that GTP consumption could elevate the renal expression of the ketogenic rate-limiting enzyme, which was decreased by a high-fat diet (HFD) in rats. Here, we investigated whether ketogenesis can mediate renoprotection by GTPs against an HFD. Methods and Results. Wistar rats were fed a standard or HFD with or without...
Efficacy of Nutritional Interventions on Inflammatory Markers in Haemodialysis Patients: A Systematic Review and Limited Meta-Analysis
Abstract: Low-grade chronic inflammation is prevalent in patients undergoing haemodialysis
(HD) treatment and is linked to the development of premature atherosclerosis and mortality.
The non-pharmacological approach to treat inflammation in HD patients through nutritional
intervention is well cited. We aimed to assess the efficacy of different nutritional interventions
at improving inflammatory outcomes in HD patients, based on markers such as ...
Effects of 12-Week Low or Moderate Dietary Acid Intake on Acid–Base Status and Kidney Function at Rest and during Submaximal Cycling
Abstract
Prolonged effects of dietary acid intake on acid–base status and kidney function have not yet been studied in an intervention study in healthy subjects. Dietary acid load can be estimated by calculating the potential renal acid load (PRAL) of foods. Effects of low-PRAL and moderate-PRAL diets on acid–base status and kidney function were investigated during a 12-week exercise training period. Healthy, 20–50-year-old men (n = 21) and ...
Effect of Magnesium Supplements on Insulin Secretion After Kidney Transplantation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background
Hypomagnesemia is associated with a disturbed glucose metabolism. Insulin hypo-secretion predicts diabetes
in the general population and in transplant recipients. We aimed to assess whether magnesium improves
insulin secretion and glycemic control after transplantation in prevalent hypomagnesemic kidney transplant
recipients. Material/Methods: We conducted an open-label, randomized, parallel-group study. Eligible participants were adults more than 4 months ...
Dietary patterns, dietary biomarkers, and kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes: a repeated-measure study in Taiwan
Background and Objectives
Western dietary patterns have been linked with kidney disease. This study investigated the association between Chinese dietary patterns and kidney disease in a Taiwanese population with type 2 diabetes and evaluated dietary fatty acid patterns, a kidney-related dietary biomarker. Methods and Study Design: We recruited 838 patients with type 2 diabetes and used their dietary and renal data obtained from three repeated measures in ...
