> filtration rate > or =60 ml/min per 1.73 m(2), and no
> macroalbuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio > or =300 mg/

> moderate, severe, or edentulous using number of teeth and alveolar
> bone score. Subjects were followed to development of
> macroalbuminuria or ESRD, defined as onset of renal replacement
> therapy or death attributed to diabetic nephropathy. RESULTS: Of
> the 529 individuals, 107 (20%) had none/mild periodontitis, 200
> (38%) had moderate periodontitis, 117 (22%) had severe
> periodontitis, and 105 (20%) were edentulous at baseline. During
> follow-up of up to 22 years, 193 individuals developed
> macroalbuminuria and 68 developed ESRD. Age- and sex-adjusted
> incidence of macroalbuminuria and ESRD increased with severity of
> periodontitis. After adjustment for age, sex, diabetes duration,
> BMI, and smoking in a proportional hazards model, the incidences of
> macroalbuminuria were 2.0, 2.1, and 2.6 times as high in
> individuals with moderate or severe periodontitis or those who were
> edentulous, respectively, compared with those with none/mild
> periodontitis (P = 0.01). Incidences of ESRD in individuals with
> moderate or severe periodontitis or in those who were edentulous
> were 2.3, 3.5, and 4.9 times as high, respectively, compared with
> those with none/mild periodontitis (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS:
> Periodontitis predicts development of overt nephropathy and ESRD in

Obviously, there is not a clear picture yet. So, people should feel
free to do what they think is best as long as it provides a balanced
diet and at the same time accept that others, too, can make up their
own minds even if they come to different conclusions. It's just a
mutual respect thing...
