How to lower high creatinine level of PKD by diet - PKD diet

Many PKD patients concern about one problem - how to lower high creatinine level by diet . The following content will give you some suggestion about this problem .

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited disease that affects the kidneys. Sacs of fluid (called cysts) grow in the kidneys. If too many cysts grow or if they get too big, the kidneys become damaged. The cysts may also cause pain or may get infected.
PKD is the most common inherited disease in the United States. Children of parents who have PKD have a 50% chance of getting the disease.

Diet suggestions for PKD patients with high creatinine level

Dietary restrictions

The National Kidney Foundation explains that "no specific diet is known to prevent cysts from developing." Moreover, the usual low-protein diet that helps slow the progression of chronic disease in other kidney patients has no proven benefit to people with PKD. While diet may have little preventative value, it does minimize the symptoms of renal failure once kidney function begins to decline.

diet principle for PKD patients

Low potassium and low phosphorus diets are often recommended.
Healthy kidneys regulate levels of potassium and phosphorus in the blood. As kidney function declines, the kidneys are less able to regulate these levels and serum potassium and serum phosphorus levels often become elevated. Nephrologists recommend low-potassium and low-phosphorus diets to offset the high serum levels of these minerals. If you have PKD, your nephrologist can recommend if potassium and phosphorus restriction is needed and how much of these minerals you can safely eat.

High potassium foods like lentils should be eaten very sparingly.
High potassium foods such as acorn squash, potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, orange juice, lentils and other legumes must be eaten very sparingly. Healthier choices include mushrooms, onions and green peppers because these are low-potassium foods.

High phosphorus foods such as milk, organ meats, beer, chocolate and cola drinks should be avoided if your phosphorus levels are high. Doctors may prescribe phosphorus binders

Can Kidney Failure Patients eat bread?

If you are diagnosed with Kidney Disease,you should know that what food you can eat ?What food is forbidden for because of your disease.Bread as one of most common food in our daily life.Do you know can kidney failure patients eat bread?

our kidneys are two of the body's major filtration systems, separating minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorous from your body for release in your urine. When you experience kidney failure, however, these organs are no longer able to remove these minerals as effectively. Depending upon the stage of kidney failure, your physician may recommend dietary changes, which may include reducing the amount of whole grains you eat.

Phosphorus and Kidney Failure

If you have kidney disease, your physician may recommend limiting your phosphorus intake to between 800 and 1,000 mg per day. However, most people take in double that amount of phosphorus in a day -- between 1,600 and 2,000 mg. Whole grain bread is a high-phosphorus food. Your physician may recommend avoiding all whole-grain foods or limiting them to smaller portion sizes like a 1/2 slice of bread.

Alternate Choices

If you must avoid whole-grain bread in your diet, you may wish to explore other dietary options. Low-phosphorus grain alternatives include white breads, bagels, dinner rolls, English muffins and croissants. While many fad diets advocate avoiding refined grains or carbohydrate diets, you need carbohydrates when you have kidney failure. Carbohydrates are an energy source and will keep you from feeling exhausted.

Kidney Failure and Diabetes

When you have diabetes and kidney failure, maintaining a balanced diet is important, particularly when it comes to eating carbohydrate sources. If you had diabetes prior to your kidney failure, your physician likely advised eating whole-grain carbohydrate sources because they were less likely to cause blood sugar swings than refined grain sources. As you transition to a diet for kidney failure and diabetes, talk to your physician about how eating refined grains may require a change in insulin dosages and how you eat.

Staying Healthy

As you change your diet, your physician may recommend keeping a food journal to record how you feel when eating certain foods. Also, observe any changes in your weight as these can affect the medications you take and what you eat. If your energy levels begin to sag, your physician may adjust the amount of carbohydrates, including grains, you eat each day.

Treatments

Kidney failure is one kind of serious kidney problem.just one therapy can’t  treat it .In my opinion Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) or Western Medicine can not treat this Disease.If have one therapy can combine TCM and Western Medicine. I think this therapy is the best choice for one’s kidney problem. Micro-Chinese Medicine is this kind of therapy.

Suggested Diet for Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients

How to restore your kidney function in PKD patients and remove the cyst.In my opinion not only find a suitable therapy.In other hand healthy living with PKD is also a important part . Do you want to find the right diet for your disease.Follow me find the answer from the following article.

Polycystic kidney disease is far from the death sentence that you might fear. Only 24,828 of the 527,283 Americans treated for end-stage kidney disease in 2007 had polycystic disease, according to the 2009 Annual Report of the U.S. Renal Data System. The Merck Manual explains that the most patients do not need dialysis or transplant during childhood. If the patient's kidney function declines, diet may help prevent some of the symptoms of renal failure.

PKD

Dietary changes can ease symptoms of PKD. The National Institutes of Health explains that patients with polycystic kidney disease, PKD, have clusters of cysts on their kidneys. There are two types of PKD: autosomal recessive PKD, ARPKD, and autosomal dominant PKD, ADPKD. Regardless of the type, the cysts eventually get so bad that the kidneys are less able to function. The NIH reports that polycystic kidney disease usually leads to renal failure, but certain dietary changes can ease symptoms.

Potassium and Phosphorus

Low potassium and low phosphorus diets are often recommended.

Healthy kidneys regulate levels of potassium and phosphorus in the blood. As kidney function declines, the kidneys are less able to regulate these levels and serum potassium and serum phosphorus levels often become elevated. Nephrologists recommend low-potassium and low-phosphorus diets to offset the high serum levels of these minerals. If you have PKD, your nephrologist can recommend if potassium and phosphorus restriction is needed and how much of these minerals you can safely eat.

Food Choices

High potassium foods like lentils should be eaten very sparingly.

High-potassium foods such as acorn squash, potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, orange juice, lentils and other legumes must be eaten very sparingly. Healthier choices include mushrooms, onions and green peppers because these are low-potassium foods.

High phosphorus foods such as milk, organ meats, beer, chocolate and cola drinks should be avoided if your phosphorus levels are high. Doctors may prescribe phosphorus binders -- a type of drug that binds to the phosphorus and causes its excretion.
