Milk and Kidney Failure

Why Are Patients with Kidney Failure Recommended to Drink Milk?
Milk belongs to one kind of protein. In principle, patients with Kidney Failure are not recommended to take food rich in protein in case of the increase of BUN and the occurrence of acidosis. Hence, patients should limit the intake of protein due to the inability of the kidneys to remove excess BUN and regulate acid-base balance in body.
Well then, why are patients with Kidney Failure are allowed to drink milk? It is because milk belongs to high-quality protein. Though patients are limited to take food rich in protein, they are allowed to take food rich in high-quality protein properly so as to meet the need of their body.
2. Milk-High-Quality Protein:
1) The content of high-quality of protein in milk accounts for 80 % of the total protein with full range of amino acids. And the high-quality protein is easier to be absorbed and taken by human body comparing with vegetable protein.
2) The calcium and potassium in milk are in proper proportion, which can help regulate patients who experience disproportion between calcium and potassium.
3) Due to the fact that patients with Kidney Failure take less protein, they are not overly restricted to take heat. The content of fat in milk is about 2%-3.2% and the fat is very easily to be absorbed.
4) The content of lactose is not high, about 10g. In this condition, even patients with Diabetes Nephropathy can drink a bag of milk without white sugar in it.
It is worth noting that patients in End-Stage Kidney Failure should have limited the intake of water. The content of water in milk is high, so patients should calculate the content of water in milk.
