A new research revealed that diet rich in red meat could worsen existing kidney disease. Researchers found that diet plays an important role in treating kidney diseases that may prevent the progress to kidney failure.

The findings were based on data collected from 1,486 adults with chronic kidney disease who were participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III. The study is believed to be the largest one to look at the long-term impact of diet on kidney disease in humans.
Wesson said that while studies have yet to prove that eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables can prevent kidney disease, such diets have already been shown to help to maintain overall good health.
The study is published online in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
