Common Questions and Answers about High protein diet kidneys

protein

Avatar f tn I typically run high protein and have perfect uneventful pregnancies otherwise. (Just delivered Thurs). There can be many factors, but for me it was just my diet. In general I am a big meat, bean, all around protein eater and my body stores it longer, or digests it slower. So they will just watch and make sure it isnt something else causing it and if it levels out they'll make sure it isnt causing any other issues.
10389360 tn?1410823968 Protein is tough on the kidneys and a high protein diet can have them working overtime, just not sure if its a good mix since the pregnancy itself also puts extra stress on the kidneys
Avatar f tn Just been to see midwife have protein plus in my urine but no high blood pressure anyone else had this thanks
1415174 tn?1453243103 There is so much literature out there that shows how bad it is to eat a high fat diet and too much meat. Yet a lot of people are on the Paleo diet including some friends. It is very acidic. Well, that is my opinion. Of course genetics plays a role too.
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.
1837090 tn?1328040121 are you eating a normal diet? or is it a diet high in protein? try to drink some Gatorade, you electrolytes might be off which could be the problem. If you are getting dizzy when you stand up, I would go to the ER and get some IV fluids with as much as you are puking.
Avatar f tn Eat less carbs and high protein, healthy fat, limit your soda intake and drink plenty of water, green tea is proven to boost your metabolism but does not cause weight loss, drink 2/3 8oz cups a day, do not drink more than 3 cups for daily caffeine intake. Stay away from sugar, if possible use a sugar substitute and eat exact serving sizes, I've been using measureing cups.
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 f tn If your blood pressure is high and you have protein in your urine it's because your kidneys are not functioning properly to filter the protein out. Protein in your urine without high blood pressure is usually due to diet, dehydration, or something preexisting.
1025106 tn?1251861070 bubble in urine can b from too much protein in your diet. Kidney stones can be from too much protein in your diet. and Yess, kidney damage can occur. 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 f tn Will the Nupro hurt his kidneys (too much added protein)? Is there another food besides the Royal Canin that has low protein but will give him more nutrition and also be good for his kidneys? Do you recommend Azodyl and Epakitin along with the Nupro or is that too much for his kidneys? I want him on a good food for his kidneys but don't want other things to be affected like it is now. Thanks so much for any help or advice.
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.
1704625 tn?1310708761 There is really no "diet” for kidney stones. If a person takes very high doses of vitamin C, kidney stones have been known to develop. To help prevent possible kidney stones is to drink the daily-recommended fluid amounts of 8+ glasses (8oz or more) of water so your body is properly hydrated. To eat healthy and help your narcolepsy, suggest your protein sources be meats and fish instead of beans.
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 was affected by the same thing. 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.
Avatar n tn I would recommend consulting with a kidney dietician. High sodium diets with high protein and dairy foods can over work kidneys already overworking due to impaired functionality. Food can either be our medicine, or our poison. Anything to reduce the extra workload of the kidneys is beneficial!!! I wish you both well!!
Avatar f tn t get enough nutrition and oxygen, placing pressure on my liver, which leads to my kidneys leaking protein, which all gives the side effect of the high bp. The high bp is dangerous for me as it can give me seizures and stroke so they try to manage it way before that happens, but the protein is particularly important as it gives an idea of how much the liver and kidney are struggling.
Avatar m tn Google the lithium and find out. As for the creatine, it can destroy you even without the lithium if you take too much or even if you're getting a lot in your diet and you supplement. But I don't know the answer to your question. A high protein diet can harm your kidneys as well. I guess the question is, are big muscles worth that much to you? Do you need creatine to get them? If it is the most important thing in your life, then maybe it's worth the risk.
Avatar m tn There is no definitive answer to your question, which is why it's hard to tell what's true and what isn't. Nobody really knows. Heavy protein intake for long periods of time can damage the kidneys. The ideal amount of protein for a normal diet isn't as high as people think it is, but there are different dietary theories about how much is the right amount; for bodybuilders, more protein helps build muscle.
Avatar m tn Low salt diet, avoid potassium rich foods like potatoes and tomatoes and dark colored pop - except rootbeer is okay, and keep your protein moderate (no more protein than the size of your closed fist - two times a day). (if you google you can find the whole list). And keeping your high blood pressure under control. If you haven't already an appointment with a nephrologist may be in order.
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 n tn There is no special diet needed for weight training, especially for a teenager. The special diets, which are high on protein, are for people who want to get very large muscles, but that's different from weight training. Those diets are also unhealthy, as too much protein strains the kidneys and the supplements and shakes and all that contain a lot of harmful ingredients and produce a dietary imbalance.
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.
1305271 tn?1320984748 I don't think it could mean your pregnant. Protein in the urine means that your kidneys are not working right for some reason. Do you have high blood pressure or diabetes? Are they doing any more blood work? Did they test your for a UTI? These are just some things that can cause your kidneys to "spill" protein. Your kidneys act as a filter and there are certain things that should not be able to get through.
Avatar f tn We have a puppy diagnosed with early renal failure. He is currently on Hills LD diet. (KD isn't recommended for growing puppies; our vet asked Hills what we should feed and they said LD has reduced protein, easily digestible.) He likes this well enough to eat it, but not well enough to use for training treats. Do any of you know of small, chewy, low protein, low phosphorus treats? Thanks!
Avatar m tn sorry I forgot to add this, but proteins will cause kidney pains as well. And according to what you ate heavy meals especially with meats and milk which is high in protein that could be the cause of the pains. Salt isn't good either, well too much of it anyway.
