Abstract
Background: Current guidelines recommend sodium-based alkali therapy for metabolic acidosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) but recent data support that base-producing fruits and vegetables (F+V) also improve metabolic acidosis in CKD. Because CKD increases cardiovascular risk, weight reduction in overweight CKD patients appears desirable given its cardiovascular and other benefits. A diet high in F+V might promote weight reduction as well as improve metabolic acidosis in CKD. Methods: We randomized 108 subjects with CKD stage 3 estimated glomerular filtration rate (30-59 ml/min/1.73 m2), metabolic acidosis with plasma total CO2 (PTCO2) >22 but <24 mM, and baseline BMI >25 as follows: F+V (n=36) added to reduce dietary potential renal acid load (PRAL) 50%, oral NaHCO3 (HCO3, n=36) to reduce PRAL 50%, or no alkali (Usual Care, n=36). All received standard kidney protection measures and were followed for 5 years. Results: Baseline PTCO2 (23.0�±0.6, 23.1�±0.6, and 23.0�±0.5, p=0.62) and BMI (28.8�±2.1, 28.3�±2.0, and 28.2�±2.1, p=0.45) were not different among F+V, HCO3, and Usual Care, respectively. Five-year PTCO2 was higher in HCO3 (23.9�±0.4 mM) and F+V (23.8�±0.4 mM) than Usual Care (21.9�±0.4 mM, p <0.01 vs. HCO3 and F+V). By contrast, five-year BMI was lower (p<0.03) in F+V (26.6�±1.7) than both HCO3 (28.4�±1.9) and Usual Care (27.8�±1.7). Conclusions: Treating CKD patients with either NaHCO3 or F+V improved metabolic acidosis similarly but BMI was lowest with F+V. Better weight control with F+V than NaHCO3, the latter being the currently recommended treatment option, supports F+V as the preferred treatment strategy for metabolic acidosis in overweight CKD patients.
