Title: Dietary therapy with low protein genmai (brown rice) to improve the gut-kidney axis and reduce CKD progression

Abstract

Low protein rice can be part of a nutritionally adequate dietary pattern in the prevention of chronic kidney disease. We developed a low protein[MW1] genmai (brown rice) (FLPG[MW2] ) to improve chronic kidney disease (CKD management. The principal functional features of brown rice are retained in LPG, lessening the negative spiral of gut-kidney associative spiral attributable to uremic dysbiosis and a leaky gut. LPG is characterized by (1) an energy value the same as white rice, (2) a protein content less than 0.2 g/ 100g , (3) a potassium content almost zero, (4) phosphorus less than a quarter that of conventional rice , (5) the presence of dietary fiber, (6)?having g-oryzanol, and (7) antioxidant[MW3] activity.

Dietary therapy for CKD patients is challenged by the joint needs to provide enough energy and to restrict protein . Patients replaced staple foods with FLPG without side dish restriction . Preliminary study of intervention with 3 months of FLPG reduced constipation probably by increased Blautia wexlerae, Bifidobacteria, acetic acid, and a decrease in potentially harmful bacteria. Protein intake decreased from 60 to 50 g per day. Urinary protein excretion decreased from 510 to 300 mg per day, and b2-microglobulin from 926 to 250?g/L. Adherence to the FLPG diet enabled improvement in glomerular and tubular function.
