Brief Summary:
Effect of pectin in chronic kidney disease patients
Detailed Description:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious global health problem leading to serious comorbidities, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and death
From 1990 to 2016, the prevalence of CKD increased by 90% worldwide, which is closely tied to the increase in at-risk populations with diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), and prediabetes . It is estimated to be around 9.1 to 13.4%. This means there are about 700 million to over 800 million cases of CKD worldwide.
In 2017, CKD resulted in 1.2 million deaths and was the 12th leading cause of death worldwide . And in the same year, the estimated prevalence of CKD in Egypt was 7.1 million individuals, which means 106 patients/1000 population .
Pectin, a class of heteropolysaccharides based on polygalacturonic acid, is a safe and non-toxic natural food additive recommended by the Joint FAO/WHO Committee on Food Additives with no daily additive limit . Pectin is mainly obtained from apple pomace, citrus peels and sugar beets, ancurrently, commercial pectin contains ≥65% Gal-A (galacturonic acid).
Among the patients who tried to take the pectin, unexpectedly was found that the pectin had a significant effect on the rapid reduction of blood creatinine concentration in patients with chronic kidney disease. So, the authors followed up the physical examination indeces of chronic kidney disease patients who took the Pectin .
