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 ..read more

There is an increased risk of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) loss among patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). The reduced SMM considerably influences the development of protein-energy wasting (PEW). Patients who develop PEW have higher hospitalization and mortality rates than those without PEW. This study determined if key variables could predict SMM Index (SMM adjusted for height) in patients receiving MHD ..read more

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 ..read more

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 ..read more

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 patients with kidney failure ..read more

Low plasma folate levels have been reported in patients undergoing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (PD) in clinical studies. However, folate transport has never been mentioned as a factor contributing to low plasma folate levels in patients undergoing PD. The peritoneal equilibrium test (PET) assesses the plasma creatinine level and glucose transport abilities. This study aimed to evaluate the association between plasma folate levels and folate transport during PD based on PET grades ..read more
