Abstract
Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are encouraged to choose refined grains instead of whole grains as part of the low-phosphorus diet for managing chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD). However, there is no direct evidence indicating that limiting whole grains has a beneficial impact on CKD outcomes.
Methods: This study analyzed Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort data in two ways, namely cross-sectional examination of CKD-MBD biomarkers and prospective examination of health outcomes. A total of 4,067 (cross-sectional) and 4,331 (prospective) participants were included. The primary exposure was reported intake of whole grains (analyzed as servings/day, servings/1,000kcal, and refined grain servings/whole grain servings). CKD-MBD biomarkers included serum phosphorus, fibroblast growth factor-23, parathyroid hormone, calcitriol, and calcium. Outcomes included cardiovascular events, kidney failure, and all-cause mortality.
Results: In adjusted models, reported intake of whole grains was associated with higher phosphorus intake and serum phosphorus when assessed crudely (serving/day), but not when analyzed in relation to energy. Higher intake of refined grain relative to whole grains was associated (all models) with higher risk of kidney failure (Model 4: 1.01, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.02; P=0.01, all-cause mortality (Model 4: 1.01, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.01; P=0.01), and cardiovasulcar disease except for the fully adjusted model. Higher dietary density was associated with lower mortality in models adjusted for demographic and clinical factors including kidney function, but not in the fully adjusted model that futher adjusted for dietary factors.
Conclusion: Intake of whole grains was not associated with CKD-MBD biomarkers. Intake of whole grains in relation to refined grains was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, and mortality. The results of this study put into question the long-standing practice of restricting whole grains in patients with chronic kidney disease.
期刊介绍:
The Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology strives to establish itself as the foremost authority in communicating and influencing advances in clinical nephrology by (1) swiftly and effectively disseminating pivotal developments in clinical and translational research in nephrology, encompassing innovations in research methods and care delivery; (2) providing context for these advances in relation to future research directions and patient care; and (3) becoming a key voice on issues with potential implications for the clinical practice of nephrology, particularly within the United States. Original manuscript topics cover a range of areas, including Acid/Base and Electrolyte Disorders, Acute Kidney Injury and ICU Nephrology, Chronic Kidney Disease, Clinical Nephrology, Cystic Kidney Disease, Diabetes and the Kidney, Genetics, Geriatric and Palliative Nephrology, Glomerular and Tubulointerstitial Diseases, Hypertension, Maintenance Dialysis, Mineral Metabolism, Nephrolithiasis, and Transplantation.
