Dietary macronutrient intake and kidney outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Researchers asked 472 people with type 2 diabetes in Tehran, Iran what they eat, using a detailed food questionnaire. They then compared how much protein, fat and carbohydrate people ate with their kidney filtering rate (eGFR) and whether they had diabetic kidney disease. The results were measured at one point in time, so they can show a link but not prove that any diet causes kidney changes. The part of the summary we received cuts off before the findings, so we cannot give the results here.
