| Abstract | |
Metabolic acidosis is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Acid-inducing diets are believed to impact on acid-base balance. However, well-designed studies are still needed to prove the association between dietary acid load and serum bicarbonate. The main aim of this study was to calculate the potential renal acid load (PRAL) of selected, frequently consumed foods and to evaluate its association with serum bicarbonate (HCO3) in patients with CKD. Associations of HCO3 with resting energy expenditure (REE) and with protein and lipid oxidation were also studied. It is a cross-sectional study with 100 patients equally distributed in stages 3 and 4 of CKD between 20 and 69 years. Nutritional status was assessed by anthropometric measurements, 3-day food recall, biochemical analysis including advanced oxidation protein products and isoprostanes. Venous blood gases was used to measure HCO3. GER was measured by indirect calorimetry. PRAL was determined by food record using an algorithm that includes protein, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and potassium intake described by Remer and Manz (1995). Dietary intake of animal and vegetable protein were also evaluate. For analysis, we used quartiles of HCO3 for GER and oxidation parameters and for the others variables we used quartilhes of PRAL. ANOVA one-way test was used to compare the mean of the quartiles. The association between PRAL and HCO3 was assessed by linear regression models. Most of the patients were overweight with increased waist circumference and body fat. The median PRAL was 6.8 mEq/day with a variation between -24 to 52 mEq/day. Higher PRAL was associated with lower serum bicarbonate in a graded fashion (P trend 0.02). Serum bicarbonate was 2.07 mEq/L lower among those in the highest compared with the lowest quartile of PRAL. Animal protein was inversely correlated with serum bicarbonate. REE and lipid and protein oxidation markers showed no association with HCO3 levels. These results reinforce the possibility that diets with high dietary acid load may play a relevant role in the acid-base balance in CKD patients. In addition to consolidating the use of PRAL as a differential and complementary approach to other strategies in the nutritional treatment of CKD. (AU) | |
