Dietary Approach To C Kidney Disease Dr Anita Saxena MD, PhD, PhD (Cambridge) Associate Professor Department of Nephrology SGPGIMS, Lucknow. India

Nutrition In Renal Disease Is Complicated The term “Renal disease” embraces a number of clinical conditions whose common feature is decrease in GFR. Another common feature that these conditions share is malnutrition but each condition has a different approach in terms of nutritional therapy.

Definition of Chronic Kidney Disease Chronic Kidney Disease is defined as kidney damage for ≥ 3 months as defined by structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without decreased GFR. GFR ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73m2 with or without kidney damage. There are 5 stages of CKD depending upon GFR (≥90, 60-89, 59-30, 29-15, <15) ml/minute.

Why Do We Need To Modify Diets? As kidney disease progresses, the capacity to respond to changes in intake of nutrients and water becomes less flexible. Solute and water excretion per nephron increases, but the fewer number of functional nephrons leads to a more restricted range of solute and water excretion. When diet exceeds daily protein requirement, the excess protein is degraded to urea and other nitrogenous wastes and these products accumulate in the body. Because the severity of uremic syndrome is proportional to the accumulation of these waste products and ions, therefore, dietary intake needs to be adjusted.

Why Modify Diets? Cont.. In kidney failure nutritional therapy allows good control of several consequences of the disease. Nausea /Vomiting Anorexia Initiation of dialysis

When Does Protein-Energy-Wasting Set In?

The MDRD Study: Association Between Dietary Intake And GFR and Serum Albumin and GFR With GFR< 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 dietary protein and energy intake decreases and serum also albumin decreases (presence of inflammation). Males, solid lines; Females, dashed lines

When Does Protein-Energy-Wasting Set In? contd….. PEW most likely occurs during CKD stage 3 or even earlier partially due to inadequate nutritional management in predialysis phase and becomes clinically evident when GFR is < 15-10 ml/min. 20-70% patients on Maintenance Dialysis show signs of PEW.

Malnutrition is Multifactorial Resistance to anabolic Anorexia Loss of taste Unpalatable diets Loss of Nutrients & Water soluble Vitamin in Dialysate Uremic toxicity Dietary protein & energy intake Inadequate Dialysis dose Malnutrition Anemia loss of blood due to GI bleed, frequent blood sampling Inflammation Infection Superimposed illness Declining Residual Renal Function Presence of Comorbidity level of counter regulatory hormones Glucagon, PTH Hormonal disorders Resistance to anabolic hormones Metabolic Acidosis

RENAL STONE DISEASE

RENAL STONE DISEASE Composition: calcium, oxalate, phosphate, uric acid Drink plenty of fluid: 3-4 litres/day (half of which should be water) Continuous intake rather than acute bursts of drinking will ensure required urinary SG of <1.01. Take a glass of water before going to bed to maintain specific gravity < 1.01. Avoid hard tap water In adults, urine volume should be>2 L/day Low salt diet Low protein diet Prefer vegetarian diet. If urine pH >6.0 avoid citrate supplements. Prefer refined cereals and flours.

RENAL STONE DISEASE Composition Calcium, Oxalate, Phosphate, Uric acid Patients can take a total of 1000-1200 mg of calcium/day from natural foods. Milk intake should not exceed 2 glasses/day. Avoid calcium supplements as tablets. Allow lemon juice. Avoid orange juice as it raises oxalate level. Avoid cola beverages. Avoid Cranberry juice. Calcium phosphate stones are treated successfully with high-phosphate diets. In this case prefer whole grains. Weight reduction and all forms of physical activity should be encouraged.  X  X CranberryJuice X X

Management Of Patients On Maintenance Dialysis Hemodialysis CAPD

Malnutrition At Initiation Of Dialysis Is A Strong Predictor Of Subsequent Increase In Relative Risk Of Death Carrero JJ, J Renal Nutr 2013 Vol 23, issue 2, Pages 77-90 Hakim RM and Lazarus JM. JASN 1995; 6:1319–28 Abdu A et al Afr J Clin Nutr 2011;24(3):150-153 Flanigan MJ. Perit Dial Int. 1998;18:489-496.

Chung SH Peritoneal Dialysis International, Vol. 20, pp. 19–26  Malnutrition was present in 45% of 91 patients commencing CAPD as assessed by SGA. Initial nutritional status appears to exert a powerful influence on CAPD patient survival. By Kaplan–Meier analysis, patient survival rate is significantly lower in malnourished patients than in normal patients (67.1% vs 91.7% p = 0.02)

Increasing Protein Intake in Dialysis: The Phosphate Paradigm Protein has linear relation with phosphate 1 g protein brings 13–15 mg phosphate (of which 30–70% is absorbed through the intestinal lumen). Mortality decreases when protein intake increases up to 1.4 g/kg/day (lower panel) despite a slight increase in serum phosphate (Shinaberger JH et al.,1982). nPNA, appearance.

Increasing Protein Intake in Dialysis: The Phosphate Paradigm Mean peritoneal phosphate clearance (L/wk/1.73 m2 BSA) according to peritoneal membrane transport category and peritoneal dialysis modality. CAPD, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; CCPD, continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis; H, high transport category; HA, high-average transport category, LA & L: combined low-average and low transport category. 1-day peritoneal dialysis clears ~300 mg phosphate. 1 regular hemodialysis session clears 500–600 mg phosphate This results in a net balance of 1800 mg every other day in HD pateints, an amount that cannot be eliminated through dialysis Phosphate binders are a must for such a patient.

Patients on Maintenance Dialysis Require Extra Protein Supplement Insufficient Protein Intake Renal Specific Protein Supplements in powder or biscuit form. Peptide based supplements for sick patients. The Renilon Multicentre Trial: Use of a renal-specific oral supplement by HD patients who have low protein intake does not increase need for phosphate binders and prevents decline in nutritional status and quality of life. Serum albumin and prealbumin changes associate positively with the increment in protein intake (The Renilon Multicentre Trial Fouque D etal NDT. 2008 Sep;23(9):2902-10)

Nutrition Supplements in Dialysis Patients: Use in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients and Diabetic Patients R Poole Adv Peritoneal Dial, Vol. 24, 2008 Serum albumin (SA) levels before, during, and after the nutrition supplement in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Daily Supplement: 20 – 30 g protein and approx 500 calories Significant improvement in albumin level during months 4 – 6 in HD patients but not in PD Patients. It takes 3months of supplementaion to show improvement in S albumin In PD patients s albumin levels declined after supplementation was stopped

If oral supplements are not tolerated or effective and malnutrition is present (<20 Kcal/kg/d and Protein intake is <0.8 kg/g/d) consider tube feeding to increase protein intake. Overnight supplement can improve nutritional status and overall well-being. Bolus feeding: Start 50-100 ml feed, then increase to 300-400ml per feeding. Continuous feeding: Start with 20-50ml/hr, then increase 20ml every 2-8 hrs until requirement is met. Guideline 19 – Indications for Nutrition Support in dialysis dependent patients

Practical Rules For Preventing Protein En Energy Wasting/ Malnutrition

1. Monitor Nutritional Status Identify Nutritional deficiencies before they become clinically evident. (K/DOQI,AJKD.2000;35:S1-140. Enia G, etal. NDT. 1993;8:1094-1098

Prevent Monitor Treat Complications

Slow Progression of CKD Reduce Albuminuria to slow progression of CKD, particularly in diabetics. Supplement with vitamin B complex (AHA) Folic Acid, Vitamin B6 and B12 supplements to prevent hyperhomocystenemia Serum albumin < 4.0 g/dL, prior to initiation of dialysis, predict morbidity and mortal(Kaysen et al, 2008).

Slow Progression of CKD Control Blood Pressure to slow progression of CKD and lower CVD risk. Target BP ≤130/80 mmHG Limit sodium intake. Prescribe diuretics to treat fluid overload Advise Weight reduction if required. Monitor serum potassium in patients on renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) antagonists. Limit dietary potassium intake.

Slow Progression of CKD Manage Diabetes Target HbA1c should be <7.0% (ADA Guidelines 2007). Good control of newly diagnosed diabetes may slow progression of CKD. Blood glucose control may help slow progression of CKD (DCCT,1993; UKPDS,1998)

2. Correct Uremic Symptoms If patient is on dialysis individualize dialysis prescription. Give adequate dialysis Maintain Kt/V urea of 1.2 for HD 1.7/week CAPD ADEMEX Trial (2001)

3. Treat Anorexia: Eliminate/Treat any potentially reversible or treatable condition or medication that might interfere with appetite or cause malnutrition. Phosphate binders may induce loss of appetite. Discontinue use of phosphate binders for 2 weeks to see if appetite improves. Discontinue use of iron supplements if there are repeated GI upsets Discontinue calcium supplements if bowel movements are irregular Reduce salt intake for better control of blood pressure to minimize requirement of antihypertensive medication.

6. Prevent Infections especially in PD To Maintain Good Nutritional Status Infections lead to ed appetite Impart Intense training to patient & attendant for maintaining hygiene. Exit site infection Peritonitis

7. Preserve Residual Renal Function for Proper clearance of middle molecules Anorexia In PD Anorexia is more common in patients who have lost RRF and has significant independent effect on dietary protein intake. Patients with RRF have higher mean DPI and nPNA than patients without RRF (1.08 ±0.31vs 0.89 ± 0.31g/kg/d and 62.1 ±12.4 vs 54.9 ±15.3g.d). ( Wang etal JASN 2001 Nov 12 (11) 2450-7) Every 1ml/min/1.73m2 increase in GFR associated with 0.041-fold increase in DPI and 0.838-fold increase in DCI. (Cross sectional study on 242 CAPD patients Caravaca etal 1999, Per Dial Int. Vol 19 350-6 )

Avoid Contrast and Other Toxins Worsen renal function STATEGIES FOR PRESERVING RRF cont.. Avoid Contrast and Other Toxins Worsen renal function Avoid Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aminoglycoside antibiotics, and oral phosphate solutions. Aminoglycoside antibiotics used for treatment of peritonitis and catheter infections should be used with caution (ISPD). Prevent peritonitis, because peritonitis is also associated with a decline in RRF.

8. Anemia also causes generalized weakness & loss of appetite Correct Iron Profile Supplement Folic Acid Correct Vitamin B12 deficiency Treat chronic infections and secondary hyperparathyrpoidism Prescribe optimal dose of ESA/EPO Use L-Carnitine in EPO resistant anemia.
