Chronic kidney disease

[1Kathy]

Does anyone know of any research regarding celiac disease and chronic kidney disease.

Welcome to the forum, 1Kathy!

I take it you have been diagnosed with both conditions?

Enough to be aware but not really significant.  The fact that DH did not increase might make one look at the malabsorption effect of classic Celiac Disease and the nutrient deficiencies it causes.

"This comprehensive register-based study aiming to investigate the risk of renal comorbidities in celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis patients identified an increased risk for kidney diseases and especially glomerulonephritis among celiac disease patients compared to matched reference individuals. Patients with dermatitis herpetiformis did not show increased risk for kidney diseases. Even though the association has been recognized. According to the present study, the difference in incidence rates for kidney disease was ca. 5.7/10,000 p-y, and accordingly, six extra cases of renal disease could be seen among 1000 celiac disease patients in 10 years, which actually suggests a fairly low absolute risk.  "  https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/joim.13532

On a personal note, over the summer I lost 25 pounds of belly fat. My eGFR temporatily dropped to 40 and then recovered to >60. eGFR is calculated from creatinine levels in the blood, so may not really reflect GFR during rapid weight loss. Same thing happened the previous year when I lost 5 lbs.  My weight loss seems to correlate with supplementing 500 mg each of vitamins B1, B3, B5, and choline. At the same time my blood glucose skyrocketed and is going down as I am running out of belly fat and took a break from the vitamins.
