Beverage patterns, blood pressure, and proteinuria among West Africans with chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional analysis of the diet, CKD, and apolipoprotein L1 study

Key Points

Associations between the Milk and Milk Products beverage pattern and higher blood pressure were observed in adults with chronic kidney disease.
Increased systolic blood pressure was noted particularly among those with diabetes; however, significance was lost after adjustments for multiple comparisons.
This cross-sectional analysis examined dietary patterns among individuals with chronic kidney disease in West Africa to explore health implications.
Caution is required when interpreting these findings, as long-term impacts on kidney and cardiovascular health are yet to be confirmed.

Abstract

The Milk and Milk Products beverage pattern may be associated with higher SBP in adults with CKD in West Africa, with a potentially stronger association among those with diabetes. Given that no associations remained significant after false discovery rate correction, these findings should be interpreted cautiously. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings and clarify their long-term implications for kidney and cardiovascular health.
