Default Low-carb diet WON'T harm your kidneys

Low-carb diet WON'T harm your kidneys: After warnings over risks of popular weight-loss plans, new study suggests high-protein meals could improve kidney function

In 2019, Professor Denis Fouque, former chair of the European Renal Nutrition Working Group, which carries out research on the effect of lifestyle and diet on kidney health, warned a high-protein diet ‘may boost a pre-existing low-grade chronic kidney disease which is often prevalent in people with diabetes’, and that it might even increase the risk of new cases of kidney diseases. Yet recently, studies have shown that a low-carb (less than 130g a day), higher-protein diet can actually be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes.

It could even reverse their condition, as one study, published last year in the journal BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health, suggested.

When patients with type 2 diabetes followed a low-carb diet for 23 months, 46 per cent reversed their condition and no longer needed to take medication.

Now, a study, published today in the journal Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Obesity, suggests that previous concerns about high-protein diets causing kidney damage are unfounded.

In the study, Dr David Unwin, a GP in Southport, Merseyside, analysed the records of 143 type 2 patients who had followed a low-carb diet — an approach he has been offering since 2013.

Abstract

Purpose of review

People with T2 Diabetes (T2D) who follow a low carbohydrate diet (LCD) may increase their dietary protein intake. Dietary protein can modulate renal function so there is debate about its role in renal disease. There is concern that higher protein intakes may promote renal damage, and that LCDs themselves may impact on cardiovascular risk. We review the evidence around LCDs, renal and cardiovascular risk factors and compare to results obtained in a real-world, primary care setting.

Recent findings
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well-recognised microvascular complication of T2D caused in part by; chronically increased glomerular pressure, hyperfiltration, increased blood pressure and advanced glycation end products. Hyperglycemia can be seen as central to all of these factors. A LCD is an effective first step in its correction as we demonstrate in our real-world cohort.

Summary
We found evidence that LCDs for people with T2D may improve many renal and cardiovascular risk factors. In our own LCD cohort of 143 patients with normal renal function or only mild CKD, over an average of 30 months the serum creatinine improved by a significant mean of 4.7 (14.9) μmol/L. What remains to be shown is the effect of the approach on people with T2D and moderate/severe CKD.

Nothing really new but now, maybe, some more physicians will notice and change their opinion.

I'm reminded of passages in Good Calories, Bad Calories where scientists were beating on the data in studies --wildly, desperately -- because they didn't want to believe it.

Sugar tastes so gooooooooood.... no! It can't BE.
