About this study

Official title: Effect of Dietary Glycemic Index/Load on Kidney-related Biomarkers and Inflammation in Diabetic Nephropathy Patients

low GI and low GL diet have more beneficial effect for diabetic nephropath patients compared with conventional diet.

low GL may have more favorable effect than low GI diet.

Read the detailed description

According to body weight status of participants, the investigators considered a slight calorie restriction ranged from 200 to 300 Kcal/d. Planed meals and exchange list prescribed for all volunteers. Dietary records forms were given to all subjects and they were educated how to record their dietary intakes. The investigators asked subjects not to change their physical activity level during the study and monitored them for their physical activity level by 3 days physical activity records monthly.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • low GIOther

    All diets were designed with similar macronutrients content (30% fat, 0.8 g/kg/d protein and remained calorie requirement by carbohydrate). Additionally, we controlled phosphorus, sodium and potassium content of diets for three intervention groups. All dietary menus had less than 1500 mg phosphor and less than 2400 mg sodium and 2000 mg potassium.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Serum creatinine (and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (mg/dL) were measured by colorimetric method and enzymatic colorimetric method using commercial assay kit.

    Measured: baseline, wk 12

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Serum levels of high sensitive C- reactive protein (hs-CRP) (mg/L) were quantified by using an ultrasensitive latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay (Randox Laboratory Ltd., Belfast, United Kingdom).

    Measured: baseline, wk 12
