Associations between dietary patterns and kidney health assessed in the population-based CHRIS study using reduced rank regression
While diet plays a key role in CKD management, the potential for diet to impact CKD prevention in the general population is less clear. Using a priori knowledge, we derived disease-related dietary patterns (DPs) through reduced rank regression (RRR) and investigated associations with kidney function, separately focusing on generally healthy individuals and those with self-reported kidney diseases, hypertension or diabetes mellitus.

Change over time in Pre-ESRD 24-hour urine creatinine as muscle mass surrogate and post-ESRD mortality
Loss of muscle mass and sarcopenia are common in CKD and ESRD, and sarcopenia can worsen insidiously in patients with advancing CKD. The temporal dynamics of sarcopenia in patients with progressive loss of kidney function, and its association with future outcomes, is unclear. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Dietary intake of antioxidant vitamins and its relation to the progression of chronic kidney disease in adults with preserved renal function
It is expected that antioxidants contribute to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there is no data on the protective effect of dietary antioxidant vitamins on CKD. The purpose of study was to evaluate the renoprotective effect of dietary antioxidant vitamins in the general population. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

The Effect of Niacinamide Supplementation on Phosphate Concentrations in Dutch Dialysis Patients: a randomised, crossover trial
Hyperphosphatemia is a common complication in patients with kidney failure, despite the use of phosphate binders (PBs). Vitamin B3, either in the form of niacin or niacinamide (NAM), shows potential as “add-on” treatment to reduce serum phosphate concentrations in this population. NAM seems to lack many of the side-effects that are observed with niacin. The aim of this study was to investigate whether NAM is an effective and acceptable treatment in reducing serum phosphate concentrations in pa tients with kidney failure.

The role of dietary acid load on progression of estimated glomerular filtration rate among individuals diagnosed with chronic kidney disease
Individuals with CKD are at an increased risk for developing metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis has been shown to worsen kidney function and exacerbate systemic inflammation. Diets high in protein foods can exacerbate metabolic acidosis as protein foods tend to be more acidic, while fruits and vegetables are more alkalotic. The main objective of this systematic review was to determine if higher consumption of fruits and vegetables in adults with CKD stages 1-5 reduces the rate of decline of eGFR.

A systematic review of online resources for the dietary management of hyperphosphatemia in people with chronic kidney disease
Internet search engines and social media websites are prominent and growing sources of dietary information for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their healthcare providers. However, nutrition therapy for CKD is undergoing a paradigm shift, which may lead to inconsistent advice for managing hyperphosphatemia. The aim of this study was to summarize and evaluate online resources for phosphorus-specific nutrition therapy. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Dietitians Play a Crucial and Expanding Role in Renal Nutrition and Medical Nutrition Therapy
Nutrition is an important component in the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nutrition interventions, when performed by a dietitian, have the potential to improve quality of life and outcomes, slow the progression of CKD, and mitigate common complications in patients undergoing kidney replacement therapy.1,2 Recognizing the critical role of the dietitian in translating science into practice and the high-level of dietitian participation in the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM), it was proposed at the 6th International Congress for Renal Nutrition and Metabolism in 1991, ...
