“…White et al [74] found that ethanol intake has an inverse, approximately linear, relationship with the risk of onset of eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . The same relationship between frequency of drinking and CKD is also found in healthy Japanese, Koreans [7,9,16,78,79], and others [73,80–82]. The same result also was confirmed among both African and Caucasian men and women.…”

Excessive drinking of alcohol is becoming a worldwide problem, and people have recognized that there exists a close relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and alcohol consumption. However, there are many inconsistencies between experimental and clinical studies on alcohol consumption and kidney damage. The possible reason for this contradictory conclusion is the complex drinking pattern of humans and some bioactivators in wine. In addition, the design itself of the clinical studies can also produce conflicting interpretations of the results. Considering the benefits of light-to-moderate alcohol consumption, we recommend that CKD patients continue light-to-moderate drinking, which is beneficial to them. Because alcohol consumption can lead to adverse events, we do not advise non-drinkers to start to drink. Although light-to-moderate alcohol consumption may not pose a risk to patients with CKD, the patients’ condition needs to be considered. Consumption of even small amounts of alcohol can be associated with increased death risk. Additional clinical and experimental studies are needed to clarify the effect of alcohol on the kidneys and alcohol consumption on CKD patients.

“…No causal interpretation can be attached to this finding, although the same association has been reported in earlier studies; see, for example, Kim et al. (). A possible explanation is that patients with worse kidney health are more likely to abstain from alcohol; persistent nausea is a common symptom of seriously impaired kidney function.…”

“…Although baseline covariate effects were not of direct interest in this study, it is notable that alcohol consumption, as a binary factor, was associated with 5.5% better kidney function at study entry compared with abstainers. No causal interpretation can be attached to this finding, although the same association has been reported in earlier studies; see, for example, Kim et al (2014). A possible explanation is that patients with worse kidney health are more likely to abstain from alcohol; persistent nausea is a common symptom of seriously impaired kidney function.…”

Short‐term and long‐term effects of acute kidney injury in chronic kidney disease patients: A longitudinal analysis

et al. 2016

We use data from an ongoing cohort study of chronic kidney patients at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom, to investigate the influence of acute kidney injury (AKI) on the subsequent rate of change of kidney function amongst patients already diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We use a linear mixed effects modelling framework to enable estimation of both acute and chronic effects of AKI events on kidney function. We model the fixed effects by a piece-wise linear function with three change-points to capture the acute changes in kidney function that characterise an AKI event, and the random effects by the sum of three components: a random intercept, a stationary stochastic process with Matérn correlation structure, and measurement error. We consider both multivariate Normal and multivariate t versions of the random effects. For either specification, we estimate model parameters by maximum likelihood and evaluate the plug-in predictive distributions of the random effects given the data. We find that following an AKI event the average long-term rate of decline in kidney function is almost doubled, regardless of the severity of the event. We also identify and present examples of individual patients whose kidney function trajectories diverge substantially from the population-average.

“…This is in agreement with the findings of a previous study that found a significant association with alcohol consumption and renal impairment in the general population of South Korea. 51 On the contrary, some studies have reported no association between alcohol consumption and KD. 16,52…”

ObjectivesWe sought to estimate the knowledge, sociodemographic determinants, and risk-inducing lifestyles of kidney disease (KD) among Nigerians living in Lagos State.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study to assess the level of knowledge of KD and its associated sociodemographic factors of individuals living in urban and semi-urban communities of Lagos State, Nigeria. It is hoped that the results of this study will help to inform preventive modalities. We used a pretested, structured questionnaire to draw information from 1171 Nigerians aged ≥ 15 years.ResultsThe mean age of respondents was 33.5±11.1 years. In our cohort, 72.4% of respondents were knowledgeable of KD, with media as their major source of information (41.6%). Knowledge of KD was significantly associated with age (p = 0.044), education (p < 0.001), marital status (p < 0.001), and place of residence (p = 0.048). The established KD risk-inducing lifestyle factors were habitual use of herbal supplements, significant alcohol consumption, and diabetes (p < 0.050). Significant predictors of knowledge of KD included primary education (Odds ratio (OR) = 0.367, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.11–1.22; p =0.102), secondary education (OR = 0.296, 95% CI: 0.17–0.51; p < 0.001), Igbo ethnic group (OR = 1.471, 95% CI: 0.99–2.17; p = 0.047), and place of residence (OR = 1.332, 95% CI: 1.00–1.77; p = 0.048). Age 30–39 years (OR = 0.749, 95% CI: 0.48–1.18; p = 0.214), 40–49 years (OR = 1.083, 95% CI: 0.69–1.69; p = 0.727), and not working (OR = 1.178, 95% CI: 0.88–1.57; p < 0.269) were non-significant predictors of knowledge of KD.ConclusionsOur cohort had inadequate knowledge of linking risk-inducing lifestyles to KD development. Effective measures and efforts should be made to create awareness and educate the general population on KD and prevention measures related to risk-inducing lifestyles to reduce the burden of KD among Nigerians.
