Summary: Limited instruments to determine diet quality among US adults with chronic kidney disease were addressed in this study by developing a food frequency questionnaire (CKD SFFQ) and validating it against two 24-hour recalls. The CKD SFFQ showed good agreement with the recalls in assessing overall diet quality, with a systematic trend towards higher estimates in certain components. The majority of participants reported rarely or never consuming certain food groups, such as grains, fruits, vegetables, seafood, and plant proteins.

Summary: Several studies have shown that healthy dietary patterns, like the Mediterranean Diet, can improve or prevent the development of chronic diseases and reduce the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. While the Mediterranean diet may have favorable effects for preventing chronic kidney disease, there is no evidence of renal protection for CKD patients. The Mediterranean Renal (MedRen) diet is an adapted version of the Mediterranean diet with reduced protein, salt, and phosphate intake, making it suitable for managing CKD stage 3.

Summary: This study examined the association between the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary pattern and incident heart failure (HF) risk in lower income and Black individuals. The results showed that income modified the association between DASH diet adherence and HF risk, with no association observed between DASH diet adherence and lower HF risk in lower income participants.

Summary: Food can either cause or worsen lifestyle diseases, or be used to prevent and treat illnesses such as primary hypertension and insulin resistance. There is growing evidence of the role of diet in treating kidney disease and its complications. Different diets, such as low-carbohydrate diets, Mediterranean diets, and plant-based diets, have shown potential benefits for patients with kidney disease. However, most healthy dietary patterns advocate for the inclusion of whole, unprocessed foods from plant-based sources.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that Mediterranean diet, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet, and Dietary Guidelines-based patterns are cardioprotective against cardiovascular disease, but there is substantial heterogeneity among studies due to differences in scoring methods and analytical approaches.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between the DASH diet and serum uric acid (SUA) levels among the Chinese adult population, and to verify the mediating effect of BMI. The results showed a significant linear relationship between the DASH diet and SUA levels, and adopting the DASH diet could help reduce SUA levels, partly mediated by BMI.

Summary: The study found that higher serum NT-proBNP levels were associated with increased risks of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a more rapid decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). In the general Japanese population, serum NT-proBNP could serve as a useful biomarker for assessing the future risk of CKD.

Summary: This study evaluated the associations between dietary patterns and urinary phthalate biomarkers. It found that postmenopausal women with higher alignment to DASH and aMed dietary patterns had lower concentrations of certain phthalate biomarkers in their urine, while an inflammatory diet pattern was associated with higher phthalate biomarker concentrations.

Summary: Considering the increasing prevalence of obesity and global aging, the consumption of a high-protein diet (HPD) has advantages. However, HPD exacerbates kidney dysfunction in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This study evaluated the effects of an HPD on kidney injury in both CKD and non-CKD conditions. It was found that an HPD does not cause kidney injury in healthy individuals but worsens the condition in CKD patients.

Summary: The study found positive associations between tryptophan and its metabolites with the risk of type 2 diabetes, while indolepropionate was inversely associated with the risk. Additionally, host genetic variants, dietary factors, gut bacteria, and their interplay related to these type 2 diabetes-related metabolites were identified.

Summary: This study compares the performance of different equations for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) evaluation in cancer patients. The results show that the Cockcroft-Gault equation is the least accurate, while the CKD-EPI equation and eGFRcr-cys equation perform better. Therefore, it is recommended to adopt guideline-recommended methods for GFR evaluation in oncology practice and clinical trials.

Summary: A scientific workshop sponsored by the National Kidney Foundation and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was held to discuss the value of treating early chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the challenges in conducting trials for early CKD. The attendees reached a consensus on the importance of preventing and treating early CKD progression, using surrogate end points to establish efficacy, and conducting comprehensive cost analyses and safety data collection.

Summary: This retrospective analysis compared the racial differences in risk of KFRT and mortality between Black and non-Black participants with kidney disease. The study found that the eGFR equation that included both creatinine and cystatin C without considering race demonstrated racial differences in risk across the range of eGFR. The eGFRcr-cys equation may be preferable for assessing racial differences in the risk of KFRT and mortality associated with low eGFR.
