Mediterranean diet as the diet of choice for patients with chronic kidney disease
Open accessAbstract
Traditional dietary management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) focuses on the quantity within the diet of energy and protein, and the restriction of single micronutrients, with little mention of dietary quality. Dietary patterns that are more plant-based, lower in meat (including processed meat), sodium and refined sugar, and have a higher content of grains and fibres are now included in multiple clinical guidelines for chronic disease prevention. The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been associated with reduced cardiovascular disease incidence in both observational and interventional studies. A wealth of evidence links MD with other beneficial effects on chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity or cognitive health. This review examines each constituent of the classical MD and evaluates their suitability for the management of patients with CKD. We also evaluate the potential hyperkalaemia risk of increasing fruit and vegetable intake. Overall, a decrease in net endogenous acid production and increase in fibre may lead to a better control of metabolic acidosis. This, together with other putative favourable effects of MD on endothelial function, inflammation, lipid profile and blood pressure, provide mechanistic pathways to explain the observed reduced renal function decline and improved survival in CKD patients adhering to an MD.

“Overall, MD has been shown to prevent CKD, as well as decrease renal function decline and improve survival in patients with CKD [69].”

In the citing paper
“Also, in Mediterranean Countries, red meat and processed meats are consumed less than vegetables, fish and white meat, and this may convey a lower amount of dietary sodium, phosphate and potassium, which represent a major concern in patients with CKD due to an intrinsic risk of water-electrolyte decompensation [229].”

“Based on these considerations, the MedDiet has been recently promoted by the European Renal Association–European Dialysis Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) as the most appropriate choice for the nutritional management of CKD [229].”

In the citing paper
“However, as underlined by ERA-EDTA itself, the high consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables typical of the Mediterranean traditions and culinarian style, enhances the risk of hyperkalemia in advanced stages of CKD, so that low potassium alternatives or boiling cooking methods should be still cautiously considered when adapting the MedDiet to patients with reduced kidney function [229].”

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.
