Abstract

Objectives The potential benefit or harm of low-protein diets (LPDs) for patients with chronic kidney disease has been debated. This study sought to investigate the effects of treatment with LPDs on nutritional markers, morbidity, and survival during subsequent dialysis. A second objective was to evaluate the effect of LPDs on renal function and the start of dialysis. Design This was a retrospective study of medical records. Setting The setting was an outpatient nephrology and dialysis clinic. Patients One-hundred twenty-two renal patients were recruited from the central dialysis registry of one clinic. The patients had been followed by a nephrologist for > or =6 months before dialysis. Sixty-one patients were treated with LPDs, and an equal number of control patients not treated with LPDs were matched for sex, age, dialysis modality, diabetes, and start of dialysis. Main outcome measures Main outcome measures included weight and weight change, serum albumin, glomerular filtration rate, morbidity, and mortality. Results There was less mean weight loss in the LPD group the year before dialysis (0.14 kg/month, compared with the control group at 0.36 kg/month, P < .05). The level of serum albumin was higher in the LPD group at the start of dialysis (P < .01). The mean rate of progression during the 6 months before dialysis was lower in the LPD group (4.1 mL/min/year) than in the control group (13.4 mL/min/year) (P < .001). The LPD group had fewer days of hospitalization at the start of dialysis than the control group (8.2 vs 15.4 days, respectively, P < .01). There was no difference in mortality between groups 1, 2, or 5 years after starting dialysis. Conclusions Low-protein diets can reduce patient morbidity, preserve renal function, relieve uremic symptoms and improve nutritional status. The results suggest that LPDs can postpone the start of dialysis for 6 months, and entail substantial cost-savings. Low-protein diets should be used more generally in the renal community.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
