Abstract

Daily polished rice was changed into BG pre-washed rice as dietary therapy for hemodialysis (HD) patients. Fifteen Japanese HD patients (8 men, 7 women, age: 54.1 years old, dialysis duration: 10.1 years), a polished rice was changed to BG prewashed rice for 1 month, and the change in serum phosphorus (Pi) value was examined decreased. The serum Pi decreased significantly from 7.2±0.2mg/dL to 6.3±0.4mg/dL (p=0.0014). This reduction was observed in 12 (80%) of 15 patients, and 10% or more reduction was seen in 9 (60%) of these 12. During the trial, there were no remarkable problems including decreased flavor. Moreover, there was no correlation between the degree of reduction in the serum Pi before trial and either the dialysis duration or the baseline serum Pi. Since the economic burden was not large, controlling the amount of phosphate intake by changing to BG prewashed rice was considered to be useful for both dialysis patients and their families.
