November 22, 2010 (Denver, Colorado) — The addition of fruits and vegetables to a diet can help offset acid imbalances and reduce the worsening of kidney disease among patients with hypertension, according to research presented here at Renal Week 2010: American Society of Nephrology 43rd Annual Meeting.
The study of 40 patients with hypertension-related kidney disease showed that the addition of fruits and vegetables over the course of 30 days resulted in significant improvements in the urine parameters of kidney injury.
