Unlocking the Potential of Brewers ’ Spent Grain: A Sustainable Model to Use Beer for Better Outcome in Chronic Kidney Disease
The rising global incidence of chronic inflammatory diseases calls for innovative and sustainable medical solutions. Brewers ’ spent grain (BSG), a byproduct of beer production, presents a unique opportunity in this regard. This review explores the multifaceted health benefits of BSG, with a focus on managing chronic kidney disease (CKD). BSG is identified as a potent prebiotic with potential as a therapeutic agent in C KD. We emphasize the role of gut dysbiosis in CKD and discuss how BSG could help mitigate metabolic derangements resulting from dysbiosis and CKD. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Plasma concentrations of trimethylamine-N-oxide, choline and betaine in patients with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease and their relation to cardiovascular and renal outcomes
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut bacteria mediated liver metabolite of dietary betaine, choline, and carnitine which is excreted by glomerular filtration. We studied whether TMAO is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Clinical impact of malnutrition according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria combined with kidney dysfunction to determine mortality in inpatients
This study investigated the usefulness of GLIM criteria for malnutrition predicting mortality in patients with kidney dysfunction and different clinical renal states, including no kidney disease (NKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Changes in bone mineral density in patients with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease are associated with body composition.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and low bone mineral density (BMD) are highly prevalent and can co-exist. Parameters of mineral metabolism are associated with BMD in CKD, but other contributing factors may contribute. The aim of this study was to assess changes in BMD and its determinants in patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD (NDD-CKD). (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Associations between dietary patterns and kidney health assessed in the population-based CHRIS study using reduced rank regression
While diet plays a key role in CKD management, the potential for diet to impact CKD prevention in the general population is less clear. Using a priori knowledge, we derived disease-related dietary patterns (DPs) through reduced rank regression (RRR) and investigated associations with kidney function, separately focusing on generally healthy individuals and those with self-reported kidney diseases, hypertension or diabetes mellitus.

Change Over Time in Pre –End-Stage Renal Disease 24-Hour Urine Creatinine as Muscle Mass Surrogate and Post–End-Stage Renal Disease Mortality
Loss of muscle mass and sarcopenia are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and sarcopenia can worsen insidiously in patients with advancing CKD. The temporal dynamics of sarcopenia in patients with progressive loss of kidney function, and its association with future outcomes, is unclear. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

Dietary intake of antioxidant vitamins and its relation to the progression of chronic kidney disease in adults with preserved renal function
It is expected that antioxidants contribute to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there is no data on the protective effect of dietary antioxidant vitamins on CKD. The purpose of study was to evaluate the renoprotective effect of dietary antioxidant vitamins in the general population. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

The Effect of Niacinamide Supplementation on Phosphate Concentrations in Dutch Dialysis Patients: a randomised, crossover trial
Hyperphosphatemia is a common complication in patients with kidney failure, despite the use of phosphate binders (PBs). Vitamin B3, either in the form of niacin or niacinamide (NAM), shows potential as “add-on” treatment to reduce serum phosphate concentrations in this population. NAM seems to lack many of the side-effects that are observed with niacin. The aim of this study was to investigate whether NAM is an effective and acceptable treatment in reducing serum phosphate concentrations in pa tients with kidney failure.
