"In particular, there is limited information on which types of beverages and patterns of beverages are associated with kidney disease risk in particular," Rebholz said.
The researchers assessed beverage intake through a food frequency questionnaire administered at the start of the study in 2000-04, and they followed participants until 2009-13.
Among the 3,003 participants, 185 (6 per cent) developed chronic kidney disease (CKD) over a median follow-up of 8 years.
Consuming a beverage pattern consisting of soda, sweetened fruit drinks, and water was associated with a higher risk of developing CKD.

The researchers were surprised to see that water was a component of this beverage pattern that was linked with a higher risk of CKD.
