Background
Dietary acid load (DAL) may be related to CKD progression but results are still conflicting. In addition, no studies have evaluated the association of DAL with mortality in CKD. The aim of this study was to evaluate two estimates of DAL, PRAL (potential renal acid load) and NEAP (net-endogenous acid production), in relation to events of mortality and kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in CKD.
Methods
Baseline clinical and dietary data (food frequency questionnaire) from the PROGREDIR Cohort (n=454), a CKD cohort based on Sao Paulo, Brazil, composed predominantly of older people with CKD G3 and G4 was used in this analysis. PRAL and NEAP were computed using previously validated formulas, and those with missing values were excluded (n=11). Events of death (n=190) and KRT (n=62) were ascertained after a median follow-up time of 6 years. Uni and multivariable Cox proportional hazards and Competitive Risk models were computed.
Results
Mean age was 68 ± 12 y, mean eGFR was 38 ± 15 mL/min/1.73m2, 63% were male and 56% were diabetic. Mean intake of PRAL and NEAP were 4.1 ± 18.5 and 51.9 ± 17.4 mEq/d, respectively. Initially, neither PRAL nor NEAP were associated with mortality or KRT. However, after stratification for diabetes, both estimates were positively related to the risk of KRT and death in diabetics only, even after adjustments (Table). Competing risk analysis were consistent with the Cox findings. By entering interaction terms between diabetes and DAL estimates, which were significant, both PRAL and NEAP showed an inverse association with the risk of clinical events.
Conclusion
Our results suggest the existence of a relevant interaction between PRAL/NEAP and diabetes: whereas DAL estimates were associated with mortality and KRT in diabetics, this association was not observed in non-diabetics.
