High in fat and protein and low in carbohydrates, ketogenic diets have the potential to exacerbate metabolic acidosis. Higher-protein ketogenic (keto) diets may hasten kidney failure and cause other medical problems in patients with kidney disease, according to the most comprehensive review yet of these diets.

Keto diets are low in carbohydrates and high in fat, with disagreement over whether the diets are high in protein, according to study coauthor Shivam Joshi, MD, clinical assistant professor of medicine at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York, New York. The average keto diet consists of 1.2-2.0 g/kg/d of protein, Dr Joshi said, adding that he and his colleagues consider this technically to be a high amount. Supporters of keto diets, however, consider this protein intake to be normal or average, possibly because the typical American diet already consists of 1.2-1.5 g/kg/d of protein, Dr Joshi said. The review, which was published in Frontiers in Nutrition, demonstrated that the possible long-term risks of the keto diet include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney stones, alzheimer disease, and other diseases. Keto diets, which can result in ketosis, may be especially unsafe for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, with strong data suggesting that low-carb diets are linked to a higher risk of neural tube defects in infants even if mothers take folic acid. “By definition, keto diets are very high in fat and protein, and that is challenging for long-term renal health,” said study coauthor Neal Barnard, MD, an adjunct professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, and president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

A common treatment for metabolic acidosis is sodium bicarbonate, which can have side effects such as worsening edema and elevated blood pressure. By increasing the potential acid load with a keto diet, patients may worsen their acidosis and thereby require more medication to treat it, Dr Joshi said. “Some diets have the potential to exacerbate underlying kidney disease, or the complications of kidney disease, whereas other diets can help ameliorate the progression of kidney disease, the complications of kidney disease, and, in some cases, the causes of kidney disease, like diabetes and hypertension,” Dr Joshi said.

In recent years, he pointed out, studies have suggested that ketosis may ameliorate renal cyst growth in patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). To date, investigations have shown that some keto diets could lead to rapid regression of renal cystic burden in mouse, rat, and feline models of PKD. “However, some people have said keto diets are like drinking olive oil for lunch. We know ketone levels go up in the body and in your urine, and that is going to be associated with some consequences,” Dr Kalantar-Zadeh said.
