The Relationship for Anemia and Chronic Kidney Disease

Anemia is the common symptom of Chronic Kidney Disease, the injured renal cells fail to producing enough EPO to support the formation of red blood cells, leading to anemia. Many patients with Chronic Kidney Disease learn of anemia, because they are weak, tired and lack of concentration and even have trouble in sleeping, lowering the life quality of patients a lot. Then what patients can do to treat the anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease.

As the kidney becomes progressively diseased, mechanisms that form scar tissue take over, and with the process of scarring, cells responsible for manufacturing erythropoietin(EPO) die. When EPO is produced by the kidney, it travels to the bone marrow and turns on the mechanisms that help red blood cells mature. Without EPO, the production of red cells is diminished.

Anemia starts in the third stage of Chronic Kidney Disease when the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is less than 60 cc/min, long before dialysis is necessary. Unfortunately, many patients do dialysis with anemia, even though it can be easily treated. As kidney disease progresses, anemia worsens.

Other factors can also cause the anemia, such as low iron stores, chronic inflammatory conditions, or even subclinical blood losses from gastrointestinal sources (ulcers, tumors and gastritis), menstruation or dysfunctional uterine bleeding. But in most cases, the cause of anemia in kidney disease is the result of decreased production of EPO, that is to say, the damage of kidney inherent tissues and cells.


Now if you want to know more information about the cause and management for anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease, you can contact our online doctors, leave us messages or send email to kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com, we will reply you within 24 hours.

Nutrition and Chronic Kidney Disease (Not on Dialysis)

Your food choices can be one of the most effective ways to manage your kidney disease. You can prevent or delay health problems from chronic kidney disease (CKD) by eating the right foods and avoiding foods high in phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Eating too much protein can also burden the kidneys and speed the progression of CKD. Protein foods like meat and dairy products break down into nitrogen and creatinine, waste products that healthy kidneys remove from the blood. But diseased kidneys can’t stop waste products from building up in the blood and causing health problems. By determining your stage of kidney disease you can learn what diet is best for you and what foods to select.

Fluids – In the early stages of chronic kidney disease, you may not need to limit your fluid intake. However, as the disease progresses you will need to limit your fluid intake. You doctor will advise you to stick to a specific recommended fluid intake.
Carbohydrates –People who are overweight or have diabetes will need to limit the amount of carbohydrates in their food. Your doctor or dietician will advise you on the proportion of carbohydrates in your diet plan. Foods rich in carbohydrates include fruits, breads, grains and vegetables. Apart from energy, these foods will also provide you with fiber, minerals and vitamins.

Fats – Fats are a good source of calories. Use only monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as olive oil or safflower oil as these oils are good for the heart.

Proteins – Too much protein in the diet can burden the kidneys and further damage them. This can speed up the progression of the disease. Proteins in foods like meat and dairy products are broken down into waste products such as nitrogen and creatinine. Your kidneys are cannot process these wastes efficiently and this leads to a buildup of these wastes in the blood and causes health problems. Foods rich in proteins include meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, eggs, lentils and pulses.

Minerals & electrolytes– The levels of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium in your diet also need to be monitored carefully. Phosphorus levels in the blood can increase even in the early stages causing calcium levels to drop, thereby affecting your bones. Dairy products should be limited because of their high phosphorus levels. Reducing your salt intake helps to control high blood pressure, reduces thirst, and helps your body to get rid of excess fluid. Look for phrases such as ‘low-sodium’, ‘sodium-free’, ‘unsalted’, and ‘no salt added’ on food labels. Kidney damage can lead to an increase in potassium levels which can affect the functioning of your heart. While fruits and veggies are healthy food choices, you will need to avoid those that are high in potassium. Instead, focus on low potassium fruits and veggies which are excellent foods for chronic kidney disease. Fruits with low levels of potassium include peaches, grapes, pears, cherries, apples, berries, plums, pineapples and watermelon. Vegetables with low potassium content include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, carrots, eggplant, lettuce, onions, and peppers. email kidneyhospitalabroad@hotmail.com

How to Understand a Kidney Cleansing Fast

How to Understand a Kidney Cleansing Fast
Some people are at risk for kidney disease. If anyone in your family has had kidney disease, it is a good idea to get blood pressure, blood and urine tests to determine your overall kidney health.

A kidney cleansing fast may also inhibit medication absorption.

Determine what your fluid intake should be. Most kidney cleansing fasts last about 3 days and they recommend that you consume half of your body weight in ounces. For example if you weigh 180 lbs. (81.6 kg), you should drink 90 oz. (2.66 l) of water each day.

Fluids are essential to a kidney cleansing fast because your kidneys filter and clean around 200 qt. (189.27 l) of fluid from your blood every day. About 198 qt. (187.377 l) are absorbed and 2 qt. (1.89 l) continue on to the bladder to form urine.

Many cleansing fasts recommend using distilled water because it does not have the mineral content of tap water. This also allows your kidneys to rest by limiting the number of minerals your kidneys will have to process.

Adopt a liquid diet for 3 days that includes water, juice, herbal teas and vegetable broth. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and dairy products.

Liquids help to rehydrate the body, which is essential to preventing kidney stones, which are crystalline deposits that form when a person is dehydrated and too much of a substance, like calcium, is in the urine.

Teas made from celery seeds or nettles act as natural diuretics. Parsley and bearberry are commonly used in teas as they aid the digestive and urinary systems.

Alcohol, caffeine and milk products act as diuretics, which cause you to urinate more frequently and get rid of fluids very quickly, thus dehydrating the body before essential fluids are absorbed.

Vegetable broth is made by boiling vegetables or vegetable peels, including carrots, celery and beets for an hour, and then straining and drinking the nutrient-rich fluid. Drink this broth 2 to 3 times a day to combat electrolyte and potassium loss.

Eat watermelon to cleanse kidneys after your 3 day fast.

Watermelon is a natural diuretic, but unlike alcohol and caffeine, it does not seem to strain the kidneys. A watermelon cleanse helps the liver to process ammonia, a waste from protein digestion, and deliver it to the urea. This also eases strain on the kidneys, while ridding the body of excess fluids.
There are many ways to derive this benefit from watermelon. It can be cut up and eaten whole (with seeds) or juiced. The seeds can be made into tea, and the flesh can be made into soup.

Ease yourself slowly out of the fast by eating raw vegetables.

Any change in diet should be slowly adopted to avoid lightheadedness, nausea or hunger. After eating vegetables for a few days, incorporate small amounts of protein, and then move back into a normal, healthy diet.
