Brief summary

The present record represents a secondary data analysis of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study. For this analysis, the MDRD study data and specimens were retrieved from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Central Repository. A global, untargeted, metabolomic profile was used to investigate biomarkers of dietary intake as well as biomarkers of kidney disease progression.

Detailed description

The present study was conducted in order to: 1) quantify the metabolomic expression of dietary intake; and 2) examine the relationship between metabolites that reflect dietary intake and kidney disease progression. This secondary data analysis leverages the completed Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study, a randomized clinical trial of dietary protein restriction (N=840).

Masking description

During the original MDRD Study, clinical center personnel as well as study participants were masked to the results of the outcome assessment during the follow-up period.

Intervention model description

The present study consists of a secondary data analysis of the MDRD Study. Planned analyses will be limited to participants with available stored specimens. The original MDRD Study was a 2 x 2 factorial study design, in which individuals were randomized to amounts of protein and phosphorus intake and levels of blood pressure control. In this secondary data analysis, we will analyze metabolites according to level of protein intake and will adjust for the blood pressure intervention.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Serum metabolomic profile12 month follow-up visitMetabolites were measured using a global, untargeted, metabolomic platform in serum specimens collected at the 12 month follow-up visit in the MDRD Study. Reverse phase, untargeted ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry quantification was used to measure metabolites. Peaks were quantified by calculating the area under the curve. Data were normalized to account for day-to-day instrumental variation. Compounds were identified by comparison to a library of purified standards or recurrent unknown entities and matches were determined based on retention time, mass-to-charge ratio, and chromatographic data.
