Common Questions and Answers about High protein diet kidney pain

protein

5 years my now 17 year old has suffered chronic pain in her back (renal) area with lower abdominal pain both right side. She has reduced kidney function to that side by 10%, recurrent uti, but a partial duplex kidney system to the left. Various tests show inflamed ureter, constipation, slow transient bowel, inflammation around the ileac valve, urine ph usually around 6, protein +, leucocytes, but no actual diagnosis. No stones detected.

I’m told that –in the family/paternal- we have some sort of a non-benign cyst on our kidneys, my grand mother had it, but didn’t experience any kidney issues. Can the recent procedures/constant passing of fragments cause protein in urine? What other relevant tests should I do? What do you think is causing this? I would appreciate any input or thought. Regards, Carlos.

I found that I was low in calcium. I had been eating high protein bars. Some very high. I didn't realize the protein was leaching out any calcium I had. Symptoms were, chest pain, kidney pain, shakey muscles, and loss of feeling in hands and fingers. Also cunfusion, brain fog adn fatigue. Once I started calcium tabs 1500 mg. per day and stopped the bars, symptoms began to go away. Kidneys were hurting after the chest pain.

I was also eating a low cal, high protein , med. carbo diet... As I look back, the symptoms (pain, hands, wrists, feet) all started after about three Mo's of everyday use, when the pain started, I stopped the work outs of lifting and riding my bike (aerocics) but didn't stop the Powder.. untill about three weeks later. Prior to the symptoms, my lipids (tg's)) were elevated and I was trying to lower them.. before,.I was eating lots of meat, Fish and sushi...

There are surgical treatments available, however, the best option is to simply put on weight, by a high fat and protein diet.

There are some other things that an cause pain in our kidneys, like low Vit. D, dehydration, or too high a protein diet. Even drinking too much at one time can cause back pressure, since the small cyst in out collecting ducts never let the urine drain properly.

The only thing I changed was the fact that I started eating more carbs, which I had previously eleminated from my diet. Has anyone heard of such pain,do you know what causes it, and am I going to have it forever, or is it a one time thing? Any suggestions would be helpful. I don't know where to turn for help.

On second week of treatment and having terrible stomach distress // diarrhea, gas pains the works. Also back pain in kidney area -- anyone else experiencing this?

), all fruit, all dairy, and all sugars, and for almost five months now have eaten only proteins and low-sugar vegetables. A typical day's diet includes egg, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, squash, cooked carrots, spinach, chicken or fish, lime juice in water, and unsweetened cranberry juice in water. You'd be surprised how many different ways you put those bits and pieces together. Ha. It worked for me, however, and I no longer crave sugar like I once did.

Avoid high protein diet, foods rich in sodium and take a nutritious diet. Doctors, parents, and patients should consider the risks of any sports activity and decide whether the benefits outweigh those risks to avoid trauma or serious damage to your kidney. Do write to me with more queries. Take care and regards!

Post tx now for two months. Started feeling right side flank pain into about my 10th month of tx. Told my GI about it and he kind of blew it off (twice!) (I have herniated disks, so he attributed it to that). Left another msg for him about it after completing tx & never got a call back (he's not the best with return phone calls).

Ketoacidosis can quickly develop into a life threatening condition. This highly advertised diet (low carb and/or high protein) can result in a game of russian roulette with your life - please don't risk it. I too have used the low carb/high protein diet before I had this information - and now I'm eating better I don't have brain fog anymore and so much more energy. I now have the energy to exercise and I've started to drop the kilo's.

Hi, Based on your urinalysis results , were there other significant findings eg red blood cells, white blood cells, protein and casts? If kidney stones are a differential here, I suggest that you have a kidney ,ureter and bladder scan to rule this out. A serum uric acid levels as well as serum calcium and phosphate levels may also help. A 24 hour urine collection sample to determine quantitative protein levels in the urine may be necessary.

Hi Jon, I'm not on a diet (can't do the high protein atkins type w/my kidney stone'd past), but like others mention try to watch my carbs. Fluid greatly aggrevates my spasticity. I sure do feel better when I'm not bloated and suffer when I indulge. But, I still do it from time-to-time like a gluten for punishment..ha/ha. Glad you are able to drag to the gym ...you best keep those scuff wounds from draggin clean though - ha/ha..

It seems like randomly once a month (sometimes twice) the morning I wake up for 3-5 ways with severe kidney pain, it's really a bizarre pain - like I can actually feel urine moving (sorry if that's gross). It wakes me up, once I'm up and moving I'm perfectly fine. Then in the evenings, I have bouts where my urine smells oddly sweet, but not a good sweet. It's got the strength of "asparagus" pee, it is sometimes cloudy or orange.

In addition, plenty of people have worse kidney function and don’t feel pain, so the pain is not her kidney…And since blood pressure is low kidneys are probably not the problem. (I know she is not a high carb eater…but took it anyway.) Her diet is consistent and healthy and she takes appropriate supplements. Weight goes up and down with no known cause, not a small swing a large swing.

Hi Linda, I was wondering what type of diet you're following that helped your GFR levels improve that much? I think it's great yours did! Please share.

While i may have bloating, tummy pains and rumbling of gas moving in my intestines etc, i have also been diagnosed with high protein in the urine, doctors say is caused by damage to the kidney, letting more albumin out than usual. They attribute this damage to the high blood pressure i am suffering. My question is: could the increased gas pressure from aerophagia enter the kidney and cause this physical internal damage, and/or augment the increased BP.

Home-made diets or an organic dog food would be a valid consideration. Dogs with kidney failure need high quality, low residue protein diets. For example, human dialysis patients often eat eggs because each egg provides 7 grams of pure protein on which the kidneys do little to no work for the body to assimilate and utilize.

Regarding diet - the objective is not so much lower protein (protein gets processed in the kidneys) but to feed a more digestible, easily broken down protein. Phosphorous is your Public Enemy No.1 for damaged kidneys, so you'll need to learn what foods are low in phosphorous. Most homemade diet recipes will be high on fatty meats (fat contains less phosphorous than lean meat), and carbohydrates like rice.

4 Weeks ago, I was fasting for 4 days over the new years - just drinking orange juice. The kidney pain returned, and this time, I haven't been able to get rid of it. I have tried a diet high in raw vegetables and grains and that has helped alot, but it seems like I can't eat hardly anything without the flank burning to come after eating. I had a physical last week with the results of .9 Creatinine, 23 BUN, GFR >60 Trace Protein in Urine, but the doctor didn't refer me to a nephrologist.

First off the reason you binge for the first 3 days on the diet is to increase water weight for more spectacular results once the diet starts. (glycogen which comes from carbs holds three times it's weight in water and protein holds four times so bingeing increases this dramatically whithin a short period of time). Second you will notice that you are then required to take walks outside, and use saunas as much as possible. Hmmmmmm wonder if that's to increase the water loss.

They'll let you know what they think. Ask about avoiding high potassium foods and reduce your protein and salt. Potassium hides in a lot of processed food and those claiming to be 'low salt'. It is also in a lot of salt subsitutes. Those are things that can help your function. You are young though so check about limiting high potassium foods and protein. You may need those at your age. Although for everyone without kidney disease the amount of protein you need is the size of your fist.

It may be my kidneys causing my HBP. Or is it my HBP causing protein in my urine and kidney problems??? Im worried to death now, at only 24 years old. I have a bit of anxiety at times and dont really know what to think. Im having the ulrasound done in a week. What are the common reasons for the problems im having here. Im overweight and have a fam history of HBP. But could my one case be different?? Could my kidneys be failing?? Ive never had any problems really.

There are lists available online of how much Phosphorus foods contain. Unfortunately, the Kidney diet foods are rather bland (although I must say the Royal Canin smells quite nice to me)....and some dogs are not so keen on them. Mine, being very food-oriented -I had no problem with at all. She ate the food very happily. To add variety to her canned and dry food, I also add some cooked green beans or carrot or potato as well sometimes.

At the age of 13 I passed my first kidney stone, which resulted in a pretty bad kidney infection as well, and a 4 day hospital stay. I passed three more over the next year, at which times I was also admitted for overnight stays to pass and to treat accompanying infections. I received lithotripsy the following year for a larger stone. I have passed MANY stones since (I am 20 years old now, and female), and for a long time I was seeing a urologist for my issues.

specially after high protein meals. The only thing i do not understand is that if my urine is foamy after high protein meals, how come there was not any protein detected in two seperate urinalyses dipstick test that i had. I am not worrying about it too much.

I mentioned in one of my other replies something about high blood pressure...Was Prince ever checked for high blood pressure...? I know that Kidney disease can be associated with high blood pressure, and so can SARDS. High Blood Pressure can also cause seizures...so talk to your vet about getting Prince's pressure checked. Take care..

I am now in the dilemma of having to eat a LOW-TO-NO FIBER, LOW-TO-NO-FAT, and HIGH NUTRITION diet! I have no idea what to eat. Pretty much any fiber hurts my Crohn's (left side), any fat hurts my gallbladder (right side and back), and not eating will only starve me more. I need to eat! I HAVE to drink the boost in the morning, that's no fiber but 4 g fat. Fat-free yogurt seems to be good as it has nutrients but no fiber or fat. I can tolerate egg whites only, the yolks are too fatty.

I had to loose weight quickly and I used a detox for a week and hydroxy cut while doing the 500 cal liquid protein shake diet. I lost 14 pounds in a month while working out 3xs a week. It was hell and I never recomend it. Lost the weight but the mental battle was not worth it. Havent gained it back and I eat twice healthy meals and a protein shake for breakfest but I also work out every day. If I could do it over again I would have started my diet earler so I wouldnt have to crash diet.
