“Improving Measures for Chronic Kidney Disease: Lifestyle Interventions Yield Positive Results”

Published in April 27, 2023, this article in Kidney Medicine reveals key takeaways from a systematic review of the impact of lifestyle interventions on chronic kidney disease patients. The study found that lifestyle interventions, including dietary and exercise interventions, improved measures for creatinine, 24-hour albuminuria, blood pressure, and body weight. However, the interventions did not affect estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The article emphasizes the importance of identifying successful lifestyle interventions to guide future clinical practice and calls for further studies with more robust designs that are guided by outcomes important to patients and of longer duration.
