Diet rich in Fresh vegetables has potential benefit of improving eGFR among elderly suggests a new study published in the BMC Nephrology.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the consumption of fresh and salt-preserved vegetables and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which requires further research.
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) generally increases with age owing to nephron loss and a decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The estimated GFR (eGFR) assumes a widely recognized role as a marker that plays a pivotal role in evaluating overall kidney health and diagnosing various renal disorders.
