How to stop proteinuria naturally for the stage 4 CKD patients

So many stage 4 CKD patients want to know that how to stop the proteinuria. I hope the following question can help you a lot.

Without protein, our bodies would be unable to heal from injury, stop bleeding or fight infection. That’s why eating protein is so important to staying healthy. The average person needs between 40 to 65 grams of protein each day.
However, protein can be tricky for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD. Although protein is a necessary nutrient, patients are often faced with the dilemma of having to limit protein intake.

Protein and the CKD patient

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.

Protein and the stages of CKD

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.
