"There seem to be two general explanations for insufficient glutathione and its link to many functional deficits; a decline in production observed in an aging population, and an increased demand due to either oxidative stress or environmental pollutants (and sometimes both a drop in synthesis and a higher burden of exposure may occur). For example, age-related conditions such as neurodegenerative disease, osteoarthritis, as well as overall mortality and frailty have been associated with declines in glutathione levels, while non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and other hepatic diseases, as well as diabetes, are also tied to increased exposure to both environmental and oxidative stress that deplete glutathione."

Do sex hormones play any role in the progression of kidney disease? It has been long observed that CKD is more prevalent in women; however, the progression of C...KD is much faster in men. This study looked at the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) using Mendelian randomization. Higher SHBG levels were associated with lower risk for CKD and better renal function in men but not in women. "Identifying factors affecting SHBG, and underlying pathways, could provide new insights for prevention and treatment strategies." https://jasn.asnjournals.org/content/32/3/686

High intake of animal protein has been associated with an accelerated decline in kidney function and increased protein being spilled in the urine. However, there is a generalized fear of recommending a very low protein diet to patients with kidney disease. There is concern this diet may provoke malnutrition especially because poor nutritional status could increase risk of illness and even death in these patients. Let’s review the premise of a very low protein diet for kidney health and how it can be properly used for patients with kidney disease." InKidney

"There are many factors that impact the risk of kidney stone development. Although there are pure genetic diseases that are associated with kidney stones, often the increased risk is subtle or offset by other factors. Increased risk, when combined with other factors including nutrient depletion, dysbiosis, electrolyte imbalances and dehydration, may lead to the development of kidney stones in some." InKidney

"Several years ago, I heard Lee M. Kaplan, MD, PhD, Director of Obesity, Metabolism, and Nutrition Institute at Mass General Hospital, speak at a probiotics conference. He said something that went deep into my psyche: Gaining 20 pounds between the ages of 2 to 65 is the difference between 4-5 calories a day, or less than half a potato chip. No one has that much willpower.1 Changes in diet and lifestyle offer only temporary solutions for most people, so what else could be driving metabolic disease? An important part of the solution lies in the gut. "
