Healthy Dietary Patterns and Incidence of CKD

Background and objectives Whether a healthy dietary pattern may prevent the incidence of developing CKD is unknown. This study evaluated the associations between dietary patterns and the incidence of CKD in adults and children. Design, setting, participants, I 2 =51%; eight studies), and incidence of albuminuria (OR 0.77, 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.99; I 2 =37%); four studies). There appeared to be no significant association between healthy dietary patterns and eGFR decline (OR 0.70 95% CI, 0.49 to 1.01, I 2 =49%; four studies). Conclusions A healthy dietary pattern may prevent CKD and albuminuria.
