499 Physiological and Metabolomic Effects of a Community-Based Cardiorenal Protective Diet Intervention in African Americans with Chronic Kidney Disease and Hypertension
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 April 2024
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) impacts 15% of US adults and African American (AA) persons are disproportionately affected with more than 3 times higher risk of kidney failure when compared to Caucasian persons. This study evaluated the physiological and metabolomic effects of increased fruits and vegetables (F&V) on cardio-renal risk factors. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This pilot trial used a prospective, 2-group, randomized study design to evaluate a F&V intervention (N=46), where participants received a prescribed amount of fresh, base-producing F&V compared to a wait-list control (WL) condition (N=45). All participants were African American adults (≥18 years), had self-reported hypertension, and had CKD (Stage 1-3) on screening spot-urine microalbumin test. Participants were measured at baseline and 6 weeks post-intervention. Clinical data (i.e., systolic and diastolic blood pressure, lipid panel, hemoglobin A1C, BMI [body mass index], and albumin to creatinine ratio) were collected. Targeted metabolomic quantitative analysis was performed followed by LC-MS/MS and FIA-MS/MS. Linear mixed models evaluated analyte expression and clinical data. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: AA participants (N=91) were aged 58 ± 10.2 years, 66% female, and 54% had incomes ≤$50,000. T-tests compared change scores (baseline to 6-weeks) between groups. The F&V group demonstrated a significant reduction in BMI of -4.7 ± 10.5 kg/m² compared to a 1.9 ± 8.3 kg/m² increase in the WL group, p<.01. Further, the F&V group demonstrated a reduction in total cholesterol of -15.4 ± 58.8 mg/dL compared to a 17.7 ± 68.8 mg/dL increase in the WL group, p<.05. Non-significant reductions in hemoglobin A1c were found in the F&V versus the WL group. Metabolomic analysis indicated significant variation with an increase of suggestive key biomarkers for worse CKD in the WL versus F&V groups at 6-weeks. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Consumption of only 2 cups of F&V via a community-based intervention reduced CVD risk factors in AA adults with CKD and HTN and resulted in molecular/biochemical changes which may improve long-term kidney health. Further investigation may lead to development of cost-effective dietary intervention models to improve CKD outcomes in AA persons.
