Low protein diet for kidney disease
Common Questions and Answers about Low protein diet for kidney disease
protein
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.
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.
i have kidney disease my creantine 2.12 my gfr 33.5 my normal is 1.
The good news is that you got the diagnosis early. While there is no cure for kidney disease or failure, there are things you can do to slow down the damage to the kidney tissue. Phosphorus is to be avoided as much as possible. As for meds, I found most of them to be expensive and not all that effective. One of the best things you can do is add calcium to your dog's diet, because it binds to phosphorus and gets it out of the body.
but there are many foods that raise sugar too fast then my insulin drives it down very low. So that diet is lots of protein, and slow burning carbs. The problem is that lots of protein is not great for my kidney and heart and neither are carbs....Since my bloodwork came back with low iron Im trying to correct that in my diet. I try not to eat animal based products because they are high in fat and cholesterol. It really limits what I can eat. I cant afford another heart attack....
In patients with chronic kidney disease you need to limit fluids, eat a low-protein diet, restricting salt, potassium, phosphorous, and other electrolytes and at the same time get sufficient calories. Few dietitians specialize in kidney diets. Your dietitian can help you create a diet to fit your needs. There have been few studies which found that low protein diets can delay end‐stage kidney disease.
Obviously, he has severe anemia and no amount of iron will fix this kind. I have never heard of chemotherapy for kidney disease or kidney damage. I have kidney damage (kidney disease) due to an autoimmune disease. Kidney function is at 26% now, up from 20%. Autoimmune disease is in remission since I had all the mercury fillings removed from my teeth.
I think that level of GFR puts you at high end of Stage 3 kidney disease or at the low end of stage 2. Mine is 54 and I am stage 3. It means you have approximately 59% of your kidney function. You have a lot of risk factors so I would start taking care of your kidneys now. 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).
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.
I am a diabetic and was told I have traces of protein in my urine. I am on a 40/40/20 diet. 40% of my diet is protein. Will eating all the protein make my kidney's work harder and make my situation worse?
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.
Hello Everyone,
My Wiz had a dental/extraction and ultrasound today. The us showed significant kidney changes… as well as an enlarged or hardened pancreatic node I think. We are putting him on a bp med and maybe some chinese herbs eventually. One of his kidney values was very mildly elevated so I wanted to do the ultrasound and he has had vomiting on and off… it seemed to be hairball related, I treated that and it seems to help and sometimes food related.
Discuss the high protein diet with your physician given that your BUN levels are elevated. The diet may need to be modified.A baseline glomerular filtration rate may be readily computed given your laboratory values. Ask your physician about this . I also suggest that your fasting blood sugar be taken just to rule out an underlying diabetic state.
Your ESR is elevated. This may signal an underlying inflammatory process.
I watch my diet, am on the Divta Kidney diet and low sodium diet, and take all sorts of meds for High Blood Pressure, and take 1500 MG of Michlephenolate every day and 25 MG of Prednisone (which I hate but it is necessary) every other day.So am hanging in there. My GFR goes up and down, as well as my Protein numbers. But better than stage 4 .
Collectively, these are the indicators for kidney disease, although only some of them being abnormal would point to early disease. On its own, the BUN and creatinine are of no concern (assuming it's mg/dl units). The low specific gravity of the urine is certainly a concern and a pointer to some kidney issue. This is called isosthenuric urine, where the kidneys are unable to produce concentrated urine output.
egfr is an accurate indicator of kidney disease HOWEVER, as i said, do not be alarmed if one is low ie it can be for a numver of reasons. CKD chronic kidney disease is only considered IF there are a few egfr tests fone over a period of time AND the result stays low or continues to drop
. Of ot os contiunually low or falling, your doctor should order an ultrasound which would show further indication ie I am hovering stage 4 and just had an ultrasound, it showed shrinkage of both kidenys.
