In conclusion, high intake of low-fat dairy foods and a dietary pattern rich in whole grains, fruit, and low-fat dairy food (among other foods) were both associated with lower odds of microalbuminuria and mean ACR in adults free of clinical CVD and diabetes. In contrast, nondairy animal food intake was positively associated with ACR. To the extent that microvascular disease (reflected here by elevated ACR) occurs upstream of overt CVD, these findings point to modifiable dietary factors that may reduce CVD risk.

One of the serious complications of diabetes mellitus is renal failure. The earliest sign of kidney pathology is microalbuminuria, the appearance of greater than normal excretion of protein in the urine. This map offers links to studies and articles which make dietary recommendations to slow the progression of renal disease. Consult your health provider before undertaking any new therapy.
