Nut consumption is associated with a significantly lower prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and lower all-cause mortality with or without CKD, according to a study.
Koushu Wang and colleagues used data from 6,072 U.S. adults (aged 20 years or older) to evaluate the association between the consumption of nuts and the prevalence of and mortality associated with CKD.
The researchers found that consuming nuts one to six times per week was associated with a lower prevalence of CKD (odds ratio, 0.67). Higher nut consumption in the non-CKD population also was significantly associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. There was a consistently significant inverse association between consuming nuts one to six times per week and all-cause mortality in the CKD population (hazard ratio, 0.63).
"We recommend the CKD population to have an adequate intake of nuts one to six times per week, while the consumption frequency can be more flexible for the non-CKD," the authors write. "Further prospective studies should be conducted to confirm this conclusion."

So, this must mean that gay men have the world’s healthiest kidneys. . .
My squirrels report no kidney problems and they eat all kinds of nuts.
The seeds of papaya are also supposed to be very good for the kidneys and a cancer fighter as well. I scrape them out of the fruit, rinse them in a fine mesh colander, dry on a paper towel, and store them in the freezer. I add 8 - 10 of the seeds to my morning smoothies along with a portion of the fruit, plus blueberries, strawberries, etc.
Have we heard from our Sec of Trans?
Told my GF this, but she didn’t buy it.
I think having optimal levels of potassium and sodium prevents kidney stones and allow you to eat anything you want.
I think eccess potassium is rare. If you have an optimal level, you don’t want to eat foods high in potassium. If you have excess potassium, drinking water reduces it.
If a person has a normal level of potassium, and he reduces his level, his urine will have more calcium.
If a person has a normal level of sodium, and he reduces his level, his urine will have more magnesium.
Caclcium and magnesium form stones. Excess vitamins a and d increase calcium and magnesium in urine.
Are peanuts included in that? Peanuts aren’t technically a nut.
And Dr. Gundry identifies peanuts as being high in lectins and causing leaky gut syndrome resulting in inflammatory diseases.
Walnuts on the other hand have Omega 3’s.
Peanuts themselves are good for the microbiome, just don’t eat the skins along with them. Actually peanut skins contain resveratrol, another nutrient that overall is considered beneficial, but I wonder if that is what is negatively affecting the gut biome or something else in the skin?

People with Kidney disease have to control their fluid intake. Their kidneys have difficulty in processing fluid. My mother-in-law refuses to heed her nephrologist’s instructions to curtail fluid intake. She doesn’t need dialysis yet, but she’s heading in that direction. In the meantime she has edema and elevated blood pressure from the extra fluid. My understanding about dialysis patients is fluid intake is even a greater concern. There is only so much fluid that can safety removed during a dialysis treatment. They are told to restrict potassium and phosphorus intake. It must be a real bitch because potassium and phosphorus are in tons of things.
Beer and nuts go together....You decide!!
If a healthy person reduces potassium consumption, it causes kidney stones. Imagine what it would do to a sick person. That advice will keep people sick and prevent them from recovering.
In case you didn’t people there are fewer people with kidney stones among people who drink beer.
(*) In case you didn’t know, there are fewer people with kidney stones among people who drink beer.

The article doesn’t mention what kinds of nuts to eat.
That’s correct for a healthy person. People with kidney disease are not healthy. Their kidneys do not work at full efficiency or don’t work at all. That changes the rules for people with kidney disease. That’s doesn’t include no K. There is a range that includes K, and being low or high out of the range causes other problems. I think this boils down to trade offs. Nuts are fine in moderation, but other sources of K, P, and Mg need to be eliminated. P and K is so many things that they are hard to avoid. Just read food labels. It is a constant battle for people to keep their P and K under control.
Don’t tell Dr. Gundry.
