Is it time to tip your glass to prevent CKD?

John W Kusek. Kidney Int. 2015 May.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global medical and public health challenge. On the basis primarily of a modest number of prospective epidemiological studies, it appears that alcohol consumption reduces the risk of CKD in the general population. Our understanding of the potential benefits of alcohol consumption with regard to CKD is likely to evolve in the future and will be informed primarily by observational epidemiological studies.
