Protein Intake and CKD

Diet is one of important factors in your kidney disease health.I believe that every kidney disease patients knew the importance of high quality protein for their kidney problem .So I want to introduce the relationship between Protein intake and CKD.

The amount of protein you can have depends upon the progression of the disease. If you're in the earlier parts of kidney failure, you'll probably have to limit the amount of protein you can consume. That's because your kidneys will have trouble eliminating urea, which is a waste product of protein metabolism.
Protein is essential for repairing and maintaining muscles, organs and other tissues. You also need some protein to keep your immune system functioning properly. Reducing your protein intake will take some of the load off your kidneys, but, you'll still need some protein, probably about 1 gram protein per kilogram of bodyweight, or less, per day. Ask your health care provider exactly how much protein you can consume. You may also need to speak with a dietitian or nutritionist who specializes in kidney disorders. He or she will help design a meal plan that's safe for your kidneys.
If your disease progresses to the stage where you need dialysis, you'll probably need to increase your protein intake again, up to 10 ounces of high-protein foods per day. But you need to be careful about which types of proteins you choose. Some of the plant-based protein sources are also high in potassium and phosphorus, two minerals that you may still need to limit. These plant-based protein sources are nuts, seeds, peanuts, legumes and lentils. Grains and animal based protein sources should be fine.

High Protein Foods

In order to monitor your protein intake, you'll need to know which foods are highest in proteins. In general foods from animal sources contain the most protein. So poultry, meat, seafood, dairy products and eggs are generally high in protein.

Plant-based foods may also contain protein, but usually in much smaller amounts. However, foods like legumes, nuts, seeds and grains (products made from these foods) can be high in protein.

OK,that is a part I want to tell you.In the end I want to introduce some knowledge about Chinese herbs, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a history of several thousand years up to now .And can make people avoid pain caused by operation .In the aspect of curative effect,TCM can treat disease in root.And will not relapse.

I know a therapy treat CKD in TCM.It named Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy,this therapy could let herbs enter you kidneys directly through skin .And the treatment progress only 40 minutes every time.And you just need lie down on the bed for 40 minutes.
