Increased kidney growth in formula-fed versus breast-fed healthy infants

Abstract: A high protein intake results in increased kidney growth and glomerular filtration rate in human adults and young rats. It is unknown whether kidney size in young infants is influenced by increased protein intake in formula-fed compared with breast-fed infants. We investigated the effect of formula versus breast feeding on kidney growth in a cohort of 631 healthy children examined at birth, and at 3 and 18 months of age. Kidney size was determined by ultrasonography and related to gender, age, body size, and f… Show more

“…Considering such caution in transposing findings to humans, our findings highlight the long-term renal consequences of neonatal HP diet in LBW infants. While no study has clearly explored the renal effects of a neonatal HP diet in these infants, two recent studies reported renal hypertrophy (+10% to +25% increase in kidney volume) in 3-and 6-mo-old NBW infants exposed from birth to HP formulas (39,40). The long-term consequences are unknown.…”

“…A influência de altas cargas de eletrólitos e proteínas sobre o crescimento e a função renal foi analisada previamente na literatura 23,24 . Em ratos, dietas com 12,0, 21,0 ou 50,0% de proteína mostraram aumento do peso dos rins somente no último grupo 24 .…”

“…This deposition is known to be related with diabetic nephropathy in adults. It is thought that renal hypertropy in infants fed with formula might be related at least with increased AGE load (49,50).…”
