Dietary acid reduction with fruits and vegetables or bicarbonate attenuates kidney injury in patients with a moderately reduced glomerular filtration rate due to hypertensive nephropathy

Abstract: The neutralization of dietary acid with sodium bicarbonate decreases kidney injury and slows the decline of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in animals and patients with chronic kidney disease. The sodium intake, however, could be problematic in patients with reduced GFR. As alkali-induced dietary protein decreased kidney injury in animals, we compared the efficacy of alkali-inducing fruits and vegetables with oral sodium bicarbonate to diminish kidney injury in patients with hypertensive nephropathy at st… Show more

“…This could conceivably be extended to a CKD population, where numerous dietary trials involving protein restriction have been performed. Moreover, recent randomized trials involving high fruit and vegetable intake have shown safety and potential benefit in even advanced CKD, increasing the feasibility of a Mediterranean diet trial in this population (41,42). Strengths of this study include the duration of followup, a well characterized cohort, a valid food frequency questionnaire, adjustment for multiple confounders, and multiethnic composition that permits generalizability of results.…”

“…Goraya et al [66] conducted a prospective interventional study of a cohort of non-diabetic patients with stage 1 ( n = 79) and stage 2 CKD ( n = 120) due to hypertensive nephropathy. They substituted 50% daily acid load with either oral alkali (sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO 3 ) or fruits and vegetables.…”

“…Strong evidence exists on the beneficial effects of a Mediterranean diet for incidence of several chronic diseases and reduced risk of mortality (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Mechanisms underlying these relationships include benefits of this dietary pattern on the cardiometabolic profile (e.g., adiposity, BP, blood lipids, serum fasting glucose, insulin resistance, and inflammation [20,21]) as well as on metabolic acidosis (22,23). Because such risk factors are highly prevalent in CKD and contribute to its onset, it is plausible to hypothesize that adoption of this healthy dietary lifestyle may link to better preserved renal function.…”
