Coffee may Reduce Mortality in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients

A cup of coffee may mean longer lifespan for patients living with chronic kidney disease, bringing down the mortality risk lower by as high as 24%.

The benefits of coffee may include increasing in lifespan. Caffeine consumption may prolong lifespan of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), says study.

The findings showed a dose-dependent inverse association between caffeine and all-cause mortality.

Coffee, Caffeine and Your Health
Caffeine sensitivity decides if coffee is good or bad for you. However drinking coffee preferably without caffeine may be good for your health.

‘Patients with the highest intake of coffee had a 24 percent lower risk of dying.’

People who had the highest intake of coffee had 24 per cent lower risks of dying, while those in the second, third quartile of caffeine consumption had 12 per cent and 22 per cent lower risk.

"These results suggest that advising patients with CKD to drink more caffeine may reduce their mortality. This would represent a simple, clinically beneficial, and inexpensive option," said Miguel Bigotte Vieira from Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Norte, in Portugal.

However, "this benefit should ideally be confirmed in a randomised clinical trial", Vieira added.

Caffeine overdose usually occurs due to excessive consumption of caffeinated beverages. Excess caffeine intake affects heart and brain function.

Moreover, this observational study cannot prove that caffeine reduces the risk of death in patients with CKD, but only suggests the possibility of such a protective effect, Vieira stressed.

Drinking coffee can also reduce diabetes risk, revealed a reported in the American Chemical Society Journal of Natural Products.
