Abstract
Key Points Sodium reduction over a 4-week period decreased eGFR. Combining sodium reduction with the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet resulted in larger reductions in eGFR. Changes in diastolic BP seem partially responsible for the observed dietary effects. Background A potassium-rich Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet combined with low sodium reduces BP. However, the effects of sodium reduction in combination with the DASH diet on kidney function are unknown. We determined the effects of sodium reduction and the DASH diet, on eGFR using cystatin C. Methods DASH-sodium was a controlled, feeding study in adults with elevated or stage 1 hypertension, randomly assigned to the DASH or a control diet. On their assigned diet, participants consumed each of three sodium levels for 30 days after a 2-week run-in period of a high sodium-control diet. The three sodium levels were low (50 mmol/d), medium (100 mmol/d), and high (150 mmol/d). The primary outcome was change in eGFR based on cystatin C. Results Cystatin C was measured in 409 of the original 412 participants, of which 207 were assigned the DASH diet and 202 to the control diet. Compared with control, the DASH diet did not affect eGFR (β =−0.96 ml/min per 1.73 m2; 95% confidence interval [CI], −2.74 to 0.83). By contrast, low versus high sodium intake decreased eGFR (β =−2.36 ml/min per 1.73 m2; 95% CI, −3.64 to −1.07). Together, compared with the high sodium-control diet, the low sodium-DASH diet decreased eGFR by 3.10 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (95% CI, −5.46 to −0.73). This effect was attenuated with adjustment for diastolic BP and 24-hour urinary potassium excretion. Conclusions A combined low sodium-DASH diet reduced eGFR over a 4-week period. Future research should focus on the effect of these dietary interventions on subclinical kidney injury and their long-term effect on progression to CKD.

[PMID: 38327996 PMCID: PMC10845896 DOI: 10.29219/fnr.v68.10319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) rises along with increasing sodium intake from early childhood to late adulthood, and leads to hypertension among most men and women living in Nordic and Baltic countries. Elevated BP is the leading global risk factor for premature deaths and disability-adjusted life-years. A reduction in sodium intake is essential in the prevention of hypertension in individuals, in the lowering of BP levels, in the treatment of hypertensive individuals, and in decreasing risks associated with elevated BP. There is a progressive linear dose-response relationship between sodium intake and BP beginning from a sodium intake of less than 0.8 g/day. Sodium reduction decreases BP linearly by a dose-response manner down to a sodium intake level of less than 2 g/day. Randomised intervention studies with a duration of at least 4 weeks confirm the efficiency and safety of reducing blood sodium intake to a level of less than 2 g/day. Results from prospective cohort studies show that higher sodium intake is positively associated with an increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular events and mortality among the general adult population, and the associations are linear in studies using proper sodium assessment methods. Analyses assessing sodium intake using at least two 24-h urine samples have shown a linear positive relationship between sodium intake and the risk of a cardiovascular event or death. Based on an overall evaluation of the available data, a limitation of the sodium intake to 2.0 g/day is suggested for adults. The optimal sodium intake level would be probably about 1.5 g/day. Sodium intake recommended for children can be extrapolated from the recommended sodium intake for adults. According to national dietary surveys, the average sodium intakes in Nordic countries range in adult men from 3.6 to 4.4 g/day and in adult women from 2.6. to 3.2 g/day, and in Baltic countries in men from 2.6 to 5.1 g/day and in women from 1.8 to 3.6 g/day.

Abstract
The association between sodium intake and long-term kidney disease endpoints is debated and yet to be proven. We aimed to investigate the associations of estimated 24-h urinary sodium excretion, reflecting daily sodium intake, with the incidence of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). In this prospective cohort study including 444,375 UK Biobank participant, 865 (0.2%) ESKD events occurred after median follow-up of 12.7 years. For every 1 g increment in estimated 24-h urinary sodium excretion, multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio for incident ESKD was 1.09 (95% confidence interval 0.94-1.26). Nonlinear associations were not detected with restricted cubic splines. The null findings were confirmed by a series of sensitivity analyses, which attenuated potential bias from measurement errors of the exposure, regression dilution, reverse causality, and competing risks. In conclusion, there is insufficient evidence that estimated 24-h urinary sodium excretion is associated with the incidence of ESKD.

Paradigm shift in lifestyle modification for solitary kidney after donor nephrectomy. Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens 2023; 32:67-75.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Living donor kidney transplantation potentially leads to long-term complications including chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, elevated blood pressure, and pregnancy-associated hypertension. Given living donors generally do not have underlying medical conditions, lifestyle modifications, particularly dietary interventions may prevent those complications and improve their health outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS Glomerular hyperfiltration occurs as physiologic adaptation during an initial postdonor nephrectomy period. In the long-term, these adaptations may become pathologic consequences resulting from hyperfiltration-mediated kidney injury and ultimately secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in the solitary kidney. Dietary interventions to slow a decline in kidney function include low protein intake of <0.8 g/kg/day and low sodium consumption of 2-4 g/day as well as certain health dietary patterns. There is no evidence regarding the quantity and quality of protein that can be recommended for living kidney donors and the same for sodium. Plant Dominant (PLADO) diets, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), Mediterranean, and vegetarian diets may be favorable for living kidney donors with solitary kidney but the evidence is still lacking. SUMMARY Although dietary interventions may provide benefits and kidney health for living kidney donors, further studies including clinical trials are required to incorporate them into clinical practice guidelines.

A multiple 24-hour urine collection study indicates that kidney function decline is related to urinary sodium and potassium excretion in patients with chronic kidney disease. Kidney Int 2021; 101:164-173. [PMID: 34774553 DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2021.10.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Revised: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Multiple 24-hour urine collections are necessary to adequately assess sodium and potassium intake. Here, we assessed kidney function decline for four years after baseline in relation to seven-time averaged 24-hour urinary sodium and potassium excretion (UNaV, UKV), their UNaV/UKV ratio, and their categorical combination in outpatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This retrospective cohort study was based on 240 outpatients with baseline CKD stages 3-5, baseline age 20 years or more (median age 72.0 years), and a median follow-up (with interquartile range) of 2.9 (1.4-4.0) years. Outcome was the percentage change in annual slope of estimated glomerular filtration rate (delta eGFR per year). In linear mixed models, percentage changes in delta eGFR per year were -3.26% (95% confidence interval -5.85 to -0.60), +5.20% (2.34 to 8.14), and -5.20% (-7.64 to -2.69), respectively, per one standard deviation increase in the seven-time averaged UNaV and UKV, and their UNaV/UKV ratio. Additionally, percentage changes per year in delta eGFR per year were -16.27% (-23.57 to -8.27) in the middle-to-high UNaV and low UKV group, compared with the low UNaV and middle-to high UKV group. Thus, our study reinforces the observation of opposite associations between GFR decline and urinary excretion rates of sodium (positive) and potassium (negative), respectively. Whether changes in dietary sodium and potassium intake slow GFR decline still requires further study.

Abstract
Mixed evidence was published regarding the association of sodium, potassium and sodium-to-potassium ratio (Na/K ratio) with renal function impairment. This study was conducted to further explore the relationship between sodium, potassium, NA/K ratio and kidney function in the general adult Chinese population. We performed a cross-sectional analysis using the baseline data from the Action on Salt China (ASC) study. 5185 eligible general adult participants from the baseline investigation of the ASC study were included in this analysis. Sodium, potassium and albumin excretion were examined from 24-h urine collection. Albuminuria was defined as albumin excretion rate (AER) greater than or equal to 30 mg/24-h. Mixed linear regression models, adjusted for confounders, were fitted to analyze the association between sodium, potassium and Na/K ratio, and natural log transformed AER. Mixed effects logistic regression models were performed to analyze the odds ratio of albuminuria at each quintile of sodium, potassium and Na/K ratio. The mean age of the participants was 49.5 ± 12.8 years, and 48.2% were male. The proportion of albuminuria was 7.5%.The adjusted mixed linear models indicated that sodium and Na/K ratio was positively associated with natural log transformed AER (Sodium: β = 0.069, 95%CI [0.050, 0.087], p < 0.001; Na/K ratio: β = 0.026, 95%CI [0.012, 0.040], p < 0.001). Mixed effects logistic regression models showed that the odds of albuminuria significantly increased with the quintiles of sodium (p < 0.001) and Na/K ratio (p = 0.001). No significant association was found between potassium and the outcome indicators. Higher sodium intake and higher Na/K ratio are associated with early renal function impairment, while potassium intake was not associated with kidney function measured by albumin excretion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although living kidney donation is not a high-risk surgery, there is still a need to identify situations at risk of kidney disease after uninephrectomy. Estrogens exhibit a protective role against various nephropathies. The aim of this study was to assess renal adaptation following nephrectomy according to menopausal status in women. METHODS A prospective bicentric study including living women donors measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (inulin or 51-Cr-EDTA clearances) and kidney volume (using CT-scan and 3-dimensional reconstruction), before and after 1-year post-uninephrectomy. Renal adaptation was compared according to menopausal status. RESULTS Sixteen non-menopausal women and 18 menopausal women were included. One year following uninephrectomy, the mean decrease in GFR (global population) was - 32 ± 12 ml/min/1.73 m2, and the mean increase in remnant kidney volume was + 32 ± 13 cm3/1.73 m2. No significant difference was observed between the two groups for both the decrease in GFR (-32.9 ± 13.3 in non-menopausal vs - 31.5 ± 9.9 in menopausal, ml/min/1.73 m2, p = 0.84), and the increase in kidney volume (+ 36.1 ± 13.4 in non-menopausal vs + 28.1 ± 12.5 in menopausal, cm3/1.73 m2, p = 0.09). DISCUSSION Menopausal status did not influence kidney adaptation following uninephrectomy, and in this respect is not a potential limiting factor for living kidney donation.

Abstract
AIMS A blood pressure (BP)-independent metabolic shift towards a catabolic state upon high sodium (Na+) diet, ultimately favouring body fluid preservation, has recently been described in pre-clinical controlled settings. We sought to investigate the real-life impact of high Na+ intake on measures of renal Na+/water handling and metabolic signatures, as surrogates for cardiovascular risk, in hypertensive patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed clinical and biochemical data from 766 consecutive patients with essential hypertension, collected at the time of screening for secondary causes. The systematic screening protocol included 24 h urine (24 h-u-) collection on usual diet and avoidance of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system-confounding medications. Urinary 24 h-Na+ excretion, used to define classes of Na+ intake (low ≤2.3 g/day; medium 2.3-5 g/day; high >5 g/day), was an independent predictor of glomerular filtration rate after correction for age, sex, BP, BMI, aldosterone, and potassium excretion [P = 0.001; low: 94.1 (69.9-118.8) vs. high: 127.5 (108.3-147.8) mL/min/1.73 m2]. Renal Na+ and water handling diverged, with higher fractional excretion of Na+ and lower fractional excretion of water in those with evidence of high Na+ intake [FENa: low 0.39% (0.30-0.47) vs. high 0.81% (0.73-0.98), P < 0.001; FEwater: low 1.13% (0.73-1.72) vs. high 0.89% (0.69-1.12), P = 0.015]. Despite higher FENa, these patients showed higher absolute 24 h Na+ reabsorption and higher associated tubular energy expenditure, estimated by tubular Na+/ATP stoichiometry, accordingly [Δhigh-low = 18 (12-24) kcal/day, P < 0.001]. At non-targeted liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry plasma metabolomics in an unselected subcohort (n = 67), metabolites which were more abundant in high versus low Na+ intake (P < 0.05) mostly entailed intermediates or end products of protein catabolism/urea cycle. CONCLUSION When exposed to high Na+ intake, kidneys dissociate Na+ and water handling. In hypertensive patients, this comes at the cost of higher glomerular filtration rate, increased tubular energy expenditure, and protein catabolism from endogenous (muscle) or excess exogenous (dietary) sources. Glomerular hyperfiltration and the metabolic shift may have broad implications on global cardiovascular risk independent of BP.

Sodium Intake and Proteinuria/Albuminuria in the Population-Observational, Cross-Sectional Study. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13041255. [PMID: 33920400 PMCID: PMC8068813 DOI: 10.3390/nu13041255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Revised: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Sodium effects on proteinuria are debated. This observational, cross-sectional, population-based study investigated relationships to proteinuria and albuminuria of sodium intake assessed as urinary sodium/creatinine ratio (NaCR). In 482 men and 454 women aged 35–94 years from the Moli-sani study, data were collected for the following: urinary NaCR (independent variable); urinary total proteins/creatinine ratio (PCR, mg/g), urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR, mg/g), and urinary non-albumin-proteins/creatinine ratio (calculated as PCR minus ACR) (dependent variables). High values were defined as PCR ≥ 150 mg/g, ACR ≥ 30 mg/g, and urinary non-albumin-proteins/creatinine ratio ≥ 120 mg/g. Urinary variables were measured in first-void morning urine. Skewed variables were log-transformed in analyses. The covariates list included sex, age, energy intake, body mass index, waist/hip ratio, estimated urinary creatinine excretion, smoking, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, diabetes, history of cardiovascular disease, reported treatment with antihypertensive drug, inhibitor or blocker of the renin-angiotensin system, diuretic, and log-transformed data of total physical activity, leisure physical activity, alcohol intake, and urinary ratios of urea nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus to creatinine. In multivariable linear regression, standardized beta coefficients of urinary NaCR were positive with PCR (women and men = 0.280 and 0.242, 95% confidence interval = 0.17/0.39 and 0.13/0.35, p < 0.001), ACR (0.310 and 0.265, 0.20/0.42 and 0.16/0.38, p < 0.001), and urinary non-albumin-proteins/creatinine ratio (0.247 and 0.209, 0.14/0.36 and 0.09/0.33, p < 0.001). In multivariable logistic regression, higher quintile of urinary NaCR associated with odds ratio of 1.81 for high PCR (1.55/2.12, p < 0.001), 0.51 of 1.62 for high ACR (1.35/1.95, p < 0.001), and of 1.84 for high urinary non-albumin proteins/creatinine ratio (1.58/2.16, p < 0.001). Findings were consistent in subgroups. Data indicate independent positive associations of an index of sodium intake with proteinuria and albuminuria in the population.

Clin Kidney J 2021; 14:647-655. [PMID: 33623691 PMCID: PMC7886560 DOI: 10.1093/ckj/sfaa158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Accepted: 07/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationships of sodium intake to kidney function within the population have been poorly investigated and are the objective of the study. METHODS This observational, population-based, cross-sectional and longitudinal study targeted 4595 adult participants of the Gubbio study with complete data at baseline exam. Of these participants, 3016 participated in the 15-year follow-up (mortality-corrected response rate 78.4%). Baseline measures included sodium:creatinine ratio in timed overnight urine collection, used as an index of sodium intake, together with serum creatinine, sex, age and other variables. Follow-up measures included serum creatinine and other variables. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, mL/min/1.73 m2) was calculated using serum creatinine, sex and age and was taken as an index of kidney function. RESULTS The study cohort was stratified in sex- and age-controlled quintiles of baseline urine sodium:creatinine ratio. A higher quintile associated with higher baseline eGFR (P < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, the odds ratio (OR) of Stage1 kidney function (eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2) was 1.98 times higher in Quintile 5 compared with Quintile 1 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50-2.59, P < 0.001]. The time from baseline to follow-up was 14.1 ± 2.5 years. Baseline to follow-up, the eGFR change was more negative along quintiles (P < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, the OR in Quintile 5 compared with Quintile 1 was 2.21 for eGFR decline ≥30% (1.18-4.13, P = 0.001) and 1.38 for worsened stage of kidney function (1.05-1.82, P = 0.006). Findings were consistent within subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Within the general population, an index of higher sodium intake associated cross-sectionally with higher kidney function but longitudinally with greater kidney function decline.

Abstract
Background The effects of sodium (Na+) intakes on renal handling of potassium (K+) are insufficiently studied. Methods We assessed the effect of Na+ on renal K+ handling in 16 healthy males assigned to three 7-day periods on low salt diet [LSD, 3 g sodium chloride (NaCl)/day], normal salt diet (NSD, 6 g NaCl/day) and high salt diet (HSD, 15 g NaCl/day), with constant K+ intake. Contributions of distal NaCl co-transporter and epithelial Na+ channel in the collecting system on K+ and Na+ handling were assessed at steady state by acute response to 100 mg oral hydrochlorothiazide and with addition of 10 mg of amiloride to hydrochlorothiazide, respectively. Results Diurnal blood pressure slightly increased from 119.30 ± 7.95 mmHg under LSD to 123.00 ± 7.50 mmHg (P = 0.02) under HSD, while estimated glomerular filtration rate increased from 133.20 ± 34.68 mL/min under LSD to 187.00 ± 49.10 under HSD (P = 0.005). The 24-h K+ excretion remained stable on all Na+ intakes (66.28 ± 19.12 mmol/24 h under LSD; 55.91 ± 21.17 mmol/24 h under NSD; and 66.81 ± 20.72 under HSD, P = 0.9). The hydrochlorothiazide-induced natriuresis was the highest under HSD (30.22 ± 12.53 mmol/h) and the lowest under LSD (15.38 ± 8.94 mmol/h, P = 0.02). Hydrochlorothiazide increased kaliuresis and amiloride decreased kaliuresis similarly on all three diets. Conclusions Neither spontaneous nor diuretic-induced K+ excretion was influenced by Na+ intake in healthy male subjects. However, the respective contribution of the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct to renal Na+ handling was dependent on dietary Na+ intake.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the influence of a dietary sodium intake intervention on cortisol measurements within the general population. DESIGN Cross-over intervention. PATIENTS Six hundred thirty adults without known Cushing syndrome, cardiovascular or renal disease completed a restricted dietary sodium diet (10 mmol/d, 230 mg/d) followed by cross-over to a liberalized dietary sodium diet (200 mmol/d, 4600 mg/d). Twenty-four-hour urine collection and biochemical investigations were performed at the end of each dietary intervention. RESULTS Mean 24-hour urinary free cortisol increased with liberalized sodium intake when compared with restricted sodium intake (178.0 ± 89.7 vs 121.3 ± 65.6 nmol/d, P < .001). Nearly all participants (84%) had an increase in the urinary free cortisol following liberalized sodium intake. This translated to a substantial difference in the proportion of participants exceeding categorical thresholds of urinary cortisol on liberalized vs restricted sodium intake: 62% vs 27% for 138 nmol/d (50 mcg/d), 46% vs 17% for 166 nmol/d (60 mcg/d), 32% vs 10% for 193 nmol/d (70 mcg/d), 23% vs 6% for 221 nmol/d (80 mcg/d), 17% vs 4% for 248 nmol/d (90 mcg/d). In parallel, there was a small decrease in morning total serum cortisol with liberalized sodium intake (303.0 ± 117.3 vs 326.4 ± 162.5 nmol/L, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Increased dietary sodium intake increases urinary free cortisol excretion and may increase the risk for false-positive results. Variations in dietary sodium intake may influence the interpretations of cortisol measurements performed to evaluate for hypercortisolism.

Causal associations between urinary sodium with body mass, shape and composition: a Mendelian randomization study. Sci Rep 2020; 10:17475. [PMID: 33060734 PMCID: PMC7562909 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-74657-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Observational studies have found associations between urinary sodium (UNa) with obesity, body shape and composition; but the findings may be biased by residual confounding. The objective of this two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was to analyze their causal associations in both sex-combined and sex-specific models. Genome-wide association studies of UNa, body mass index (BMI), BMI-adjusted waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body fat (BF) percentage and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were identified. We initially extracted fifty SNPs associated with UNa at significance level of 5 × 10–8, but further removed those SNPs with potential horizontal pleiotropy. Univariable and multivariable MR with adjustment for eGFR were performed. Inverse-variance weighted MR was performed as the primary analysis, with MR-Egger methods as sensitivity analysis. The potential bidirectional association between BMI and UNa was investigated. All exposure and outcomes were continuous, and the effect measure was regression coefficients (beta) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The total sample size was up to 322 154. UNa was causally associated with increased BMI in both men [eGFR-adjusted beta 0.443 (0.163–0.724)] and women [0.594 (0.333–0.855)]. UNa caused BF percentage increase in men [0.622 (0.268–0.976)] and women [0.334 (0.007–0.662)]. UNa significantly elevated BMI-adjusted WHR in men [0.321 (0.094–0.548)], but not in women [0.170 (− 0.052 to 0.391)]. Additionally, we found that BMI causally increased UNa [0.043 (0.023–0.063)]. UNa increased BMI and BF percentage. Salt intake affects male body shape by increasing BMI-adjusted WHR, but showed no effects on female body shape. The bidirectional association between BMI and UNa suggested that salt reduction measures and weight reduction measures should be implemented simultaneously to break the vicious cycle and gain more health benefits.

Abstract
As the science surrounding population sodium reduction evolves, monitoring and evaluating new studies on intake and health can help increase our understanding of the associated benefits and risks. Here we describe a systematic review of recent studies on sodium intake and health, examine the risk of bias (ROB) of selected studies, and provide direction for future research. Seven online databases were searched monthly from January 2015 to December 2019. We selected human studies that met specified population, intervention, comparison, outcome, time, setting/study design (PICOTS) criteria and abstracted attributes related to the study population, design, intervention, exposure, and outcomes, and evaluated ROB for the subset of studies on sodium intake and cardiovascular disease risks or indicators. Of 41,601 abstracts reviewed, 231 studies were identified that met the PICOTS criteria and ROB was assessed for 54 studies. One hundred and fifty-seven (68%) studies were observational and 161 (70%) focused on the general population. Five types of sodium interventions and a variety of urinary and dietary measurement methods were used to establish and quantify sodium intake. Five observational studies used multiple 24-h urine collections to assess sodium intake. Evidence mainly focused on cardiovascular-related indicators (48%) but encompassed an assortment of outcomes. Studies varied in ROB domains and 87% of studies evaluated were missing information on ≥1 domains. Two or more studies on each of 12 outcomes (e.g., cognition) not previously included in systematic reviews and 9 new studies at low ROB suggest the need for ongoing or updated systematic reviews of evidence on sodium intake and health. Summarizing evidence from assessments on sodium and health outcomes was limited by the various methods used to measure sodium intake and outcomes, as well as lack of details related to study design and conduct. In line with research recommendations identified by the National Academies of Science, future research is needed to identify and standardize methods for measuring sodium intake.

Association between urinary salt excretion and albuminuria in Japanese patients with chronic kidney disease: the Fukuoka kidney disease registry study. Clin Exp Nephrol 2020; 25:9-18.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several large population-based studies have demonstrated that urinary salt excretion (USALT) is associated with albuminuria. However, this relationship has not been assessed in a large cohort study of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Thus, the present study aimed to elucidate whether USALT was independently associated with albuminuria in a large cohort of patients with CKD. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in 4075 patients with CKD not on dialysis. USALT (g/day) was estimated from spot urine. Patients were divided into quartiles (Q1-Q4) according to estimated USALT. Multivariable regression models were used to determine whether USALT was independently related to urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) or the presence of macroalbuminuria. RESULTS In multivariable linear regression analyses, 1-g/day increment in USALT was significantly associated with log UACR [coefficient 0.098, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.075-0.121]. In addition, compared with the first USALT quartile, the third and fourth quartiles exhibited significant associations with log UACR (Q3: coefficient 0.305, 95% CI 0.154-0.456; Q4: coefficient 0.601, 95% CI 0.447-0.756). Furthermore, multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that USALT (1-g/day increment) was significantly associated with the presence of macroalbuminuria [odds ratio (OR) 1.11, 95% CI 1.07-1.14]; the third and fourth USALT quartiles exhibited significantly greater risks of macroalbuminuria, compared with the first quartile (Q3: OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.09-1.62; Q4: OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.54-2.32). CONCLUSIONS This significant association of USALT with UACR and macroalbuminuria suggests that higher USALT may cause increased albuminuria, thereby contributing to kidney disease progression.

Abstract
Reducing dietary sodium consumption and increasing potassium intake are effective approaches in reducing the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Whether this is also true for chronic kidney disease (CKD) is still debated. Elfassy et al. have examined associations between urinary sodium and potassium excretion and the incidence of CKD in young, 30-year-old subjects followed for 20 years. Although they failed to find an association between sodium intake and CKD incidence, there was an inverse association between high potassium intake and the development of albuminuria.

Abstract
Salt intake is too high for safety nowadays. The main active ion in salt is sodium. The vast majority of scientific evidence points out the importance of sodium restriction for decreasing cardiovascular risk. International Guidelines recommend a large reduction in sodium consumption to help reduce blood pressure, organ damage, and cardiovascular risk. Regulatory authorities across the globe suggest a general restriction of sodium intake to prevent cardiovascular diseases. In spite of this seemingly unanimous consensus, some researchers claim to have evidence of the unhealthy effects of a reduction of sodium intake, and have data to support their claims. Evidence is against dissenting scientists, because prospective, observational, and basic research studies indicate that sodium is the real villain: actual sodium consumption around the globe is far higher than the safe range. Sodium intake is directly related to increased blood pressure, and independently to the enlargement of cardiac mass, with a possible independent role in inducing left ventricular hypertrophy. This may represent the basis of myocardial ischemia, congestive heart failure, and cardiac mortality. Although debated, a high sodium intake may induce initial renal damage and progression in both hypertensive and normotensive subjects. Conversely, there is general agreement about the adverse role of sodium in cerebrovascular disease. These factors point to the possible main role of sodium intake in target organ damage and cardiovascular events including mortality. This review will endeavor to outline the existing evidence.

Abstract
Hypertension is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide. Owing to the widespread use of antihypertensive medications, global mean blood pressure (BP) has remained constant or has decreased slightly over the past four decades. By contrast, the prevalence of hypertension has increased, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Estimates suggest that 31.1% of adults (1.39 billion) worldwide had hypertension in 2010. The prevalence of hypertension among adults was higher in LMICs (31.5%, 1.04 billion people) than in high-income countries (28.5%, 349 million people). Variations in the levels of risk factors for hypertension, such as high sodium intake, low potassium intake, obesity, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and unhealthy diet, may explain some of the regional heterogeneity in hypertension prevalence. Despite the increasing prevalence, the proportions of hypertension awareness, treatment and BP control are low, particularly in LMICs, and few comprehensive assessments of the economic impact of hypertension exist. Future studies are warranted to test implementation strategies for hypertension prevention and control, especially in low-income populations, and to accurately assess the prevalence and financial burden of hypertension worldwide.

Abstract
PURPOSE Minerals and vitamins are essential for optimal growth and development, particularly during the first years of life. Therefore, regularly evaluating their intake makes sense. For this purpose, we report the data from the Nutri-Bébé 2013 survey in comparison with the European Food Safety Authority Adequate Intake (AI), or Average Requirement, (AR) according to age. METHODS This observational, nationally representative, cross-sectional survey was conducted in 1035 non-breastfed French children aged 0.5-35 months. Dietary intake was recorded using a food diary on three non-consecutive days, framed by two face-to-face interviews. RESULTS The intake of zinc, magnesium and water-soluble vitamins most of the time met the recommendations. From the first weeks of life, sodium intake exceeded the AI, with a maximum median intake of 1137 mg/day after the age of 30 months. However, it has decreased since 2005. Calcium median intake often exceeded the AI or AR, reaching a maximum of 780 mg/day between 18 and 23 months. Median vitamin A intake always exceeded the AI or AR but exceeded the recommended upper limit in only a few cases. After 2 years, median iron intake was clearly below the AR, i.e. lower than 6.0 mg/day. Dietary vitamin D intake was below the AI, thereby justifying adequate supplementation. Vitamin E intake was below the AI in 50-75% of toddlers. CONCLUSION This survey highlights excessive sodium intake as well as a shortfall of iron, vitamin D, and vitamin E intakes. The potential consequences of these discrepancies with respect to health outcomes remain to be assessed.

Extracellular fluid volume is associated with incident end-stage kidney disease and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. Kidney Int 2019; 96:1020-1029. [PMID: 31477263 DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2019.06.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2019] [Revised: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 06/07/2019] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Volume overload has been shown to be an independent risk factor for mortality in patients receiving chronic dialysis, but data in non-dialysis patients are scarce. Therefore we evaluated the prognostic value of extracellular fluid (ECF) volume for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and mortality in a prospective hospital-based cohort with CKD stage 1-4 (NephroTest Study). ECF (scaled to body surface area) and the measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) were determined using the distribution volume and clearance of 51Cr-EDTA, respectively. Cause-specific Cox and linear mixed-effect regression models were used to analyze the association of ECF with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and mortality, and with mGFR decline, respectively. The 1593 patients were mean age 58.8 years, 67% were men, mean mGFR of 43.6 mL/min/1.73m2 and mean ECF 15.1 L/1.73m2. After a median follow-up of 5.3 years, ESKD occurred in 324 patients and 185 patients died before ESKD. In multivariable analysis, ECF was significantly associated with the risk of ESKD (hazard ratio per 1L/1.73m2 increase: 1.14; 95% confidence interval [1.07; 1.21]) and with a faster GFR decline (adjusted mean difference in mGFR slope per 1L/1.73m2 increase -0.14 [-0.23; -0.05] mL/min/year). The relationship of ECF with mortality was non-linear and not significant (per 1L/1.73m2 increase 0.92, [0.73; 1.16]), below 15L/1.73m2, but significant (1.28; [1.14-1.45]) above 15L/1.73m2. Thus, in this large cohort of carefully phenotyped patients with CKD, ECF was an independent risk factor of CKD progression and mortality. Hence, close monitoring and treatment of fluid overload are important for the clinical management of patients with non-dialysis CKD.

Current Management of Patients With Acquired Solitary Kidney. Kidney Int Rep 2019; 4:1205-1218.

Abstract
Persons with acquired solitary kidney, including those who have had a unilateral nephrectomy for living kidney donation, renal malignancies, or trauma, have decreased renal mass that leads to increased intraglomerular pressure and glomerular hyperfiltration. These physiologic adaptations of solitary kidney may exacerbate other preexisting and genetic conditions that could create a predisposition to or worsen glomerular pathologies, leading to unfavorable renal outcomes. Hence, these persons may benefit from special care and lifestyle modifications, including nutritional interventions. There is a lack of consensus and evidence for proper surveillance and management after nephrectomy, and misconceptions in both directions of having a “normal” versus “abnormal” kidney status may cause confusion among patients and healthcare providers pertaining to long-term kidney health monitoring and management. We have reviewed available data on the impact of lifestyle modifications, particularly nutritional measures, and pharmacologic interventions, on short- and long-term outcomes after nephrectomy. We recommend avoidance of excessively high dietary protein intake (>1 g/kg per day) and high dietary sodium intake (>4 grams/d), adequate dietary fiber intake from plant-based foods, a target body mass index of <30 kg/m2 (in non-athletes and non-bodybuilders), and judicious management of risk factors of progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), and future studies should help to better determine optimal care practices for these persons.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease is an ongoing deterioration of renal function that often progresses to end-stage renal disease. Management goals in children include slowing disease progression, prevention and treatment of complications, and optimizing growth, development, and quality of life. Nutritional management is critically important to achieve these goals. Control of blood pressure, proteinuria, and metabolic acidosis with dietary and pharmacologic measures may slow progression of chronic kidney disease. Although significant progress in management has been made, further research is required to resolve many outstanding controversies. We review recent developments in pediatric chronic kidney disease, focusing on dietary measures to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Salt is the most basic and commonly used seasoning agent in daily diet. It is an important part of all kinds of food and plays a vital role in food preparation and preservation. People are increasingly in pursuit of a healthy diet to reduce the incidence of dietary-related diseases and to improve their health. Salt intake and related diseases have become the focus of research, and salt intake is considered the main factor for a healthy diet. This paper reviews the progress in research of the effect of high-salt diet on health with regard to intestinal microbiota, metabolic pathogenicity, and epidemiological investigation, and other aspects of salt consumption. Cardiovascular, endocrine, and other chronic diseases have been associated with high salt diet. A better understanding of the effect of high salt intake on health can improve the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases and provide new ideas for the development of scientific diet programs.

Nutritional therapy in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. J Nephrol 2018; 31:635-643.

Abstract
CKD-related nutritional therapy (NT) is a crucial cornerstone of CKD patients' treatment, but the role of NT has not been clearly investigated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Several clinical studies have focused on new pharmacological approaches to delay cystic disease progression, but there are no data on dietary interventions in ADPKD patients. The aim of this paper is to analyze the evidence from the literature on the impact of five nutritional aspects (water, sodium, phosphorus, protein intake, and net acid load) in CKD-related ADPKD extrapolating-where information is unavailable-from what occurs in CKD non-ADPKD patients Sodium intake restriction could be useful in decreasing the growth rate of cysts. Although further evidence is needed, restriction of phosphorus and protein intake restriction represent cornerstones of the dietary support of renal non-ADPKD patients and common sense can guide their use. It could be also helpful to limit animal protein, increasing fruit and vegetables intake together with a full correction of metabolic acidosis. Finally, fluid intake may be recommended in the early stages of the disease, although it is not to be prescribed in the presence of moderate to severe reduction of renal function.

The impact of salt intake during and after pregnancy. Hypertens Res 2017; 41:1-5.

Abstract
Although high blood pressure before pregnancy is associated with a risk of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, no convincing evidence has been produced to show that dietary salt reduction helps in the prevention and treatment of hypertension during pregnancy. Thus the current guidelines do not recommend a sodium restriction during pregnancy to prevent gestational hypertension and the development of preeclampsia. However, the long-term impact of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy for life-threatening diseases later in life is a critical issue. Gestational hypertension could contribute to the risk of developing hypertension later in life, and recent studies have suggested that gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are linked to cardiovascular complications. In this article, we provide an overview of the current perspectives on the salt intake of pregnant women and consider both the short-term influence and the impact beyond the perinatal period.
