Avatar n tn Hi, I found a link recently which was discussing research on the impact of high protein diets on subjects with and without kidney disease. They concluded that high protein did not cause kidney disease, and neither did it cause most kidney disease to deteriorate.. I will post the link if I can find it again. Controlling BG levels is essential to preventing kidney complications, and has been shown to reverse disease in many cases.
Avatar n tn I suffer from high "protein in urine" or high creatinine levels, now it's 2.4, but it was higher. I reccommend you read Dr. Walser's book on a low-protein, low-phoshorus diet to avoid dialysis. Your kidney doctor will probably tell you to go on a low-protein diet, but won't give you specifics. Dr. Walser's book explains the diet. It's rather hard diet to stick with, but beats the alternative.
Avatar f tn He is very health, has been lifting weights for the past year, healthy diet, weighs 185LB and has no medical problems beside this issue, and has no complaints. He keeps himself well hydrated and has no problem urinating and or blood in his urine. He is scheduled for a ultrasound of his kidney next week. Blood work has been taken to check for lupus. I'm worried it may be lupus, what else can cause the abnormal levels?? please help.

Avatar f tn m hearing a lot about kidney issues and wonder if my dog is at risk because of his high protein diet.
Avatar n tn glybride and due to a hospital stay we were informed that he now has high pressure and he is in the beginning of kidney failure because his creatinine level was 5.2. Before we left the hospital the level came down to 4.6 and his blood pressure was down to 145/80. Now taking blood pressure medicine also but was taken off the metformin.
Avatar f tn For the past 2 years, she has been on Cyclosporine and Ketaconazole and it has controlled her itching, scratching and yeast buildup. Unfortunately, it has contributed to her kidney problems. She has quickly moved to Stage 3 kidney disease. We originally attributed her failing kidney function to her food. We have been feeding her gluten free food because of her allergies, but they have a high protein and sometimes higher sodium and phosphorus content.
Avatar n tn I have recently started to feed my (16 year-old) cat a high protein diet (Orijen), devoid of all carbs, hoping to stay away from diabetes that way. Now the vet tells me that's a bad idea because a high protein level in food (anything over 40%) leads to the production of urea and actually harms the cat's kidneys. I am very confused. My cat is healthy, but which is the right food composition to keep it that way?
Avatar m tn Don't have an educated answer, but my experience and reading would strongly suggest when a dog has a diet change and develops digestive problems, go back to the diet that didn't produce the problems. I also read that dogs should have any change in diet be gradual. In the case of our Westie, he loves change, but I still transition him over a week if I want to introduce a new food type (here I'm talking content, not a complete change from cooked to raw).
Avatar f tn Hi. There are very many causes for high protein levels in a dog's urine, the most common being diet - though other causes can be more serious. I would start writing down everything you are feeding her, including all treats, and then pass this information on to your vet when you next see them.
Avatar f tn My dog was perfectly fine with SLIGHT high BUN (35-38). I put her on the NF diet in an effort to keep the kidney disease at bay, and suddenly her pancreatitis went crazy! She got very ill and didn't want to eat. I tried to put her back on her old food to get her back to normal, but it was too late. She's been hospitalized for four days. Her BUN/Creat "stabilized" at 116/6.7.
Avatar n tn Low carb diets have been shown to be unhealthy long-term. Veggies are all carbs. Fruits are carbs. Complex carbs such as whole grains are the best source of long-term energy. Too much protein, especially animal protein, can cause kidney problems and is linked to a higher rate of cardiovascular disease.

Change your diet, and cut out alot of the protein. NO red meat, milk, cheeses, etc, etc.. eat lots of fruits and veggies, and DRINK water and cranberry juice alot..
Avatar n tn The vet said to place him on a strict starch diet with no protein. My problems is, is that he is very hungry. He will eat bread and crackles but still acts very hungry. I felt sorry for him and fed him a little chicken this morning because he acts like he is starving. Should I keep him strictly on the starchy diet at his age and let him be hungry or let him get full if even on chicken?
Avatar m tn His creatine is high, RDW SD is high, and his protein is high (tested by urine and blood). Most everything else is beyond low (calcium, lymphocyte, hematocrit, albumin levels, neutrophil, hemoglobin). He is throwing up daily. He now has a persistent cough (which doctors cannot figure out why). He can't climb the stairs to go to bed without needing his oxygen once he gets up there. His circulation has worsen over the past year.
Avatar f tn fist thing is too get the doc to check diet .she should possibly be on kidney diet not the diabetic diet the 2 diets do not compliment each other.this is what happened to me i have stage3 kidney failure and type 2 diabetes. if i eat the diabetic diet my renal # go all to **** to much protein in the diabetic diet.try and get her to do some exercise .i know that can be hard but i have lost 70 lbs and am still chunky.
Avatar m tn Do you think a low protein diet can stabilize a patient with stage four kidney disease? I have had stage 4 kidney disease for almost five years. I have maintained a creatinine level of 2.9 through diet. I watch my potassium, under 2,000 mg & have stopped eating animal protein. I still eat eggs & cheese but other than that no dairy. I think it is a small price to pay to avoid a kidney transplant. My weight is stable under this regimen after years of yo yo dieting.
Avatar f tn 3. Kidney Beans Coming in third, kidney beans provide 15 grams of protein per 200 gram serving. Kidney beans are rich in protein, and they are a hearty food as well. 4. Baked Beans Like the other beans, baked beans are high in protein as well. With 12 grams of protein per 200 gram servings, baked beans are a great vegetarian protein source. 5. Tofu Tofu is an alternative to meat. It can be used for cooking various kinds of dishes. A 140 gram serving of tofu contains 11 grams of protein.
Avatar m tn Your complete kdieny function tests should be done along with an ultrasound KUB (kidney urinary bladder). For high proteins and cholesterol, follow a diet that restricts both salt and protein. In addition follow a diet recommended for promoting cardiovascular health. Keep your diet low in fats especially saturated fats and butter, and increase your intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Also, reducing or eliminating tobacco and alcohol use helps.
Avatar n tn In terms of diet recommendations, a healthy diabetic diet usually contains many vegetables(especially those high in fiber), protein and some carbohydrates with little fats. I cannot give too many specific recommendations because it may need to be tailored to some degree based on the way your father takes his insulin. I suggest you meet with a diabetes educator/dietician with the specific goal of coming up with meal planning techniques given your vegetarian lifestyle. Take care.
Avatar m tn For weeks I had really bad chronic abdominal pain on my right side. I couldn't laugh it hurt so bad. Then I had a MRI they said they saw stool. Now I went to the plasma center my protein levels were high so I couldn't give blood. They say my protein was high because fatty foods. Is this reason I feel tired and don't have regular periods, breast milk dried?
2215501 tn?1339492327 IF his BUN is very high, they could give him Azodyl supplement to help bring it down. If his blood pressure is high from the kidney disease, that can be easily treated too. Also, drugs to bind phosphorus may help, if his phosphorus is high. I know I was feeding a food low in Phosphorus and I can't recall which one but was getting it from a local Pet Store and I believe I was feeding the duck and sweet potato one. Hope this might help you some.
Avatar f tn Diet and exercise can lessen the severity of kidney stones which may form. Organic diet may be helpful. A diet low in high protein foods like meat, low in high oxalate foods like spinach, rhubarb, peanuts, and low in sodium may help. A diet high in fiber like fruits, vegetables can be very helpful. Vitamin A is helpful in preventing the formation of stones. The good sources of vitamin A are alfalfa, apricots, cantaloupes, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and squash.
Avatar n tn I am 45, have never had high blood pressure in fact it sometimes can be low, and I also do not have diabetes. There is no kidney disease in my family that I am aware of. However some routine bloods showed I had an egfr of 54 ! (Panic) my GP however told me when looking at my results that "yes no problems your kidney function is normal!" It was only after I asked if he was sure that he said oh well we will repeat them and you just need to drink more.
Avatar f tn He switched us to a prescription Kidney diet (Royal Canin renal support S) which was a dry food. After tasting the high protein diet (which she loved) she refused to touch the dry kidney diet. It was a huge concern for us because she was not eating so he asked us to try the wet food (Royal Canin Renal support E) which she finally ate. He didn't mention going back in for blood work, checkups or anything.

Avatar m tn Maybe stage 3 is seldom reversable but it did happen to me and the only thing I did differently was follow the kidney diet and quit taking NSAIDS (advil, etc.) and it wasn't like I was taking a lot of NSAIDS. I was on the high end of stage three. My decline was 45% reduction in 3 years. I had a test three years ago that was fine and then had a test 2 years ago that was low (but that doctor decided it wasn't important and didn't tell me about it.
