Renal Function Following Three Distinct Weight Loss Dietary Strategies During 2 Years of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: OBJECTIVEThis study addressed the long-term effect of various diets, particularly low-carbohydrate high-protein, on renal function on participants with or without type 2 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSIn the 2-year Dietary Intervention Randomized Controlled Trial (DIRECT), 318 participants (age, 51 years; 86% men; BMI, 31 kg/m2; mean estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], 70.5 mL/min/1.73 m2; mean urine microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio, 12:12) with serum creatinine <176 μmol/L (eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 … Show more

“…Although it is well accepted that a high-protein diet may be detrimental to individuals with existing kidney dysfunction, there is little evidence that high protein intake is dangerous for healthy individuals 31 . Based on the current evidence, CRD interventions do not seem to impair organic functions in obese subjects, even over a two-year period 32 . But further research is needed to confirm their safety over a longer term and with broader study populations.…”

“…Weight loss generates multiple health benefits including reduction of blood pressure, blood glucose, and inflammation, as well as improvement of the lipid profile [7]. A two year randomized study addressed the long-term effects of the low carbohydrate, low fat and Mediterranean diets on renal function [8]. Participants with CKD stage 3 improved eGFR by 10% on the low carbohydrate diet, compared to 6% on the Mediterranean diet and 5.4% on the low fat diet.…”

“…35 Potential improvement is likely to be mediated by weight loss-induced improvements in insulin sensitivity and blood pressure. For LCD for a year, patients with stage 1-3 renal disease had an improvement in renal function, whereas patients with hyperfiltration had a decrease in the GFR.…”
