I believe that, almost all the CKD patients know that the protein in the
urine is a reaction of the kidney disease. so it is necessary for them to find a
natural therapy to remove the protein from the urine.
When protein is ingested, protein waste products are created. Healthy kidneys
have millions of nephrons that filter this waste. It’s then removed from the
body in the urine.
Unhealthy kidneys lose the ability to remove protein waste and it starts to
build up in the blood. Dietary protein intake for patients with CKD is based on
the stage of kidney disease, nutrition status and body size. Counseling sessions
with a registered dietitian are recommended for planning and monitoring a low-
or high-protein diet.
The five stages of CKD are defined by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a
measure of how well your kidneys are functioning.
In stage 1 of CKD, GFR is 90 or above, which is normal. However, abnormal
levels of protein are detected in the urine. In stage 2, GFR is 60-89. In stage
3, GFR to 30-59. In stage 4, GFR is severely decreased to 15-29.
Stage 5, the last stage of kidney disease known as end stage renal disease or
ESRD, occurs when GFR drops below 15 and the kidneys have little function
left.
Although stage 4 indicates a severe decrease in kidney function, you’re still
able to live without dialysis. Because there’s no cure for kidney disease, the
primary focus is keeping you nourished and reducing protein waste build up.
Excess protein waste can cause nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, weakness,
taste changes and itching.
If you’re in stages 1, 2, or 3, your protein intake may be limited to 12 to15
percent of your calorie intake each day. This is the same level recommended by
the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for a healthy diet for normal adults. If
you’re in stage 4 of CKD, your dietitian may advise you to reduce protein to 10
percent of daily calorie intake.
There are a lot of natural therapies can help the CKD patients remove the
protein in the urine. If you want to know clearly them, you can add my whatsapp
