Weight loss diets improve renal function in obese

Weight loss diets improve renal function in obese: The researchers found that all three diets were effective in significantly improving eGFR, ranging from an increase of 4.0 to 5.3 percent. The improvement was 6.7 percent for those with diabetes, 4.5 percent for those without diabetes, 7.1 percent for those with lower baseline renal function, and 3.7 percent for those with better baseline renal function. After adjusting for a number of factors, only a decrease in fasting insulin and systolic blood pressure were significantly associated with increased eGFR. All three diets were found to be associated with a similar improvement in the urine microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio.
