Low Protein Brown Rice for Preventing Progression of CKD and DKD to End Stage Renal Failure
Journal Title: Diabetes Research – Open Journal - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is pervasive into aging society, affecting permanent implications on patients’ life. Approximately 10% of the global population has CKD, and millions die each year. The prevalence of CKD was high in Latin America, Europe, East Asia and the Middle East, where approximately 12% of the population has CKD.1 Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) or diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a part of CKD when the patients have diabetes.2 Both CKD and DKD may progressively fall from a normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR >90 ml/min/1.73 m2 ) to less than 15, at which point the patient becomes end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The status of DKD could be estimated by measuring the amount of urinary protein and the serum creatinine, which can be used to calculate the eGFR.
