Dose-response effect was observed, showing that consuming up to three to five cups of tea per day was associated with mitigated risks of all-cause mortality, particularly in early CKD stages (non-linear <i>p</i> > 0.05). A 1 cup per day higher intake of oxidized tea was associated with a 10% lower risk of all-cause mortality in CKD stage 1-2 [HR = 0.90; 95%CI = 0.82, 0.99; <i>p</i> = 0.03]. Replacing 1 cup of green tea with 1 cup of oxidized tea per day was associated with an 8% and 11% lower risk of all-cause mortality [HR = 0.92; 95%CI = 0.86, 0.98; <i>p</i> = 0.01] and CVD mortality [HR = 0.89; 95%CI = 0.80, 1.00; <i>p</i> < 0.05], respectively, in individuals with CKD stages 1-2.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Tea consumption showed protective effects on all-cause mortality in CKD population, with potential benefits observed in terms of","PeriodicalId":20839,"journal":{"name":"Renal Failure","volume":"47 1","pages":"2449578"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11734394/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142979295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
