Beta Glucan And Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem that is associated with a high risk for cardiovascular morbidity and death. It is a clinical syndrome characterized by the progressive and irreversible loss of renal function. Dietary supplementation with grains containing high β-glucan fiber has been shown to attenuate the progression of CKD and vascular calcification in animal models. In this mini-review, the therapeutic effect of beta glucan on CKD was investigated. For this reason, many studies were examined and promising results were obtained for the use of beta glucan in the treating of CKD
