And in another Penn project, researchers are studying the potential benefits for some patients to accept kidney
transplants from deceased
diabetic donors, rather than remaining
on the organ
transplant list for a «lower risk»
transplant.
Subjects with renal insufficiency, even subclinical, kidney
transplant patients and people with metabolic syndrome or other obesity - related conditions, will be more susceptible to the hypertensive effect of amino acids, especially of the sulphated variety.104 The well - documented correlation between obesity and reduced nephron quantity
on raised blood pressure puts subjects with T2D or metabolic syndrome at risk, even if in
diabetics with kidney damage the effects are not always consistent with the hypothesis.12, 105,106 In fact, although some authors have reported a positive influence of a reduction in protein intake from 1.2 to 0.9 g / kg, over the short term,
on albuminuria in T2D, 107 the same authors have subsequently stated instead that dietary protein restriction is neither necessary nor useful over the long term.108
