Dietary Fiber Effects In Chronic Kidney Disease

Dietary fiber also has the ability to reduce inflammation and all cause mortality in chronic kidney disease.

Dietary fiber effects in chronic kidney disease. Background objectives chronic kidney disease ckd is a major health concern associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. However this conclusion requires further validation. The purpose of this study was primarily to evaluate the association of total fibre intake with the risk of incident chronic kidney disease ckd.

Higher fiber intake was associated with lower all cause and cancer related mortality in subjects with kidney dysfunction egfr below 60 ml min 1 73 m 2. Chronic kidney disease ckd is a debilitating condition in which there is a gradual decline of renal function associated with increased overall mortality. Evidence suggests that dietary fiber benefits patients with chronic kidney disease ckd.

We also evaluated the association of dietary fibre from fruits vegetables cereals and legumes with the incidence of ckd in a population based prospective study. Another recent study published in the journal of renal nutrition in may 2013 conclude that increasing fiber intake in ckd patients through the consumption of foods with added fiber supplemental fiber can reduce serum creatinine levels. Current ckd practice guidelines overlook dietary fiber which is chronically low in the renal diet.

However increasing dietary fiber has been proposed to ameliorate the progress of ckd. In this study we examined the effects of dietary fiber on kidney function inflammation indoxyl sulfate nutritional status and cardiovascular risk in patients with advanced ckd. Chronic kidney disease ckd is a major health concern associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality.
