Renal failure patient's diet should eat

Master what kind of principles? Kidney disease experts advise: the diet of patients with renal failure is not the same at different times? Weight is not the same as the diet of patients with renal failure is not the same:
An intake of high quality protein
Renal failure patients should limit protein intake, in order to reduce the burden on the kidneys, but eat less, consume the body's muscles and splanchnic tissues, it is necessary to eat the correct and sufficient "quantity" and "quality" protein, the amount ofshould be 1 to 1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, intake of high value, high quality physiological animal protein foods, such as: milk, eggs, meat. Produce more nitrogen-containing waste due to lower utilization of plant proteins in the body, metabolism, and so can not be safe to eat, such as: beans (red beans, mung beans, peas, broad beans, soybeans, peas, nuts), soy products ( tofu, dried tofu, soy milk), gluten products (wheat gluten, flour, intestinal, baked bran), nuts (seeds, peanuts, walnuts, cashew, chestnut).
Second, adequate intake of calories
Protein restriction, in order to avoid the lack of caloric intake, will increase the production of nitrogenous waste, eat more high-calorie and very low protein food supplement.Vegetable oil (such as: soybean oil, peanut oil), low-protein starch (such as: Cheng powder, white powder, lotus root starch) and carbohydrates (such as: rock candy, honey, ginger candy, fruit sugar) to produce a variety of delicious snacks, the heat intake per day, 30 to 40 kcal per kilogram of body weight to avoid weight loss over even.
Third, careful control of moisture
When kidney failure and decreased urine output, water will accumulate in the body, increased load on the cardiovascular system, no vitality, edema, weight gain, cough, lie down and shortness of breath, lower hematocrit (Hct), and concurrent high blood pressure, heart failure, pericarditis, and dialysis due to dehydration is a drastic one, prone to headaches, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps imbalance syndrome. Daily weight gain is limited to no more than one kilogram of water intake for the day before the total urine output plus 500 to 700 milliliters (ml). If the first day urine output was 500ml, then 500cC 500 (7D0) ml = 1000 ~ 1200ml, all-day drink of water, including water, porridge, milk, soup and beverages. Avoid drinking mostly water, ice water mouthwash, chewing gum or squeeze a little lemon juice to reduce the sensation of thirst, try taking the time to focus on consumption, reduce the amount of water to the soup.
Fourth, pay attention to the control of salt
Renal failure can not be discharged to water, salt, easily lead to edema and increased blood pressure. Patients should not be a day more than the consumption of 5 grams of salt. 1 gram (1/5 of tea soup) salt = 6/5 of tea soup soy sauce = 1 tea soup MSG, so the above seasoning contains salt do not feel free to add; can be used instead of sugar, onions, ginger, garlic to improve the taste. And should be limited to high-sodium foods such as processed canned, salted and smoked products, Lay sauce, pickles, pickled vegetables and fast food. Loss of appetite, without salt restriction, to be able to eat the nutritious for the former title, wait for a good appetite, nutritionally adequate, and then limit the salt.
Fifth, beware of potassium is too high
Potassium ions can not be excreted by the kidneys of the severely damaged, can cause hyperkalemia "may cause numbness of the fingers, fatigue, weakness, chest, nausea, stiff tongue, difficulty speaking, loss of consciousness, serious arrhythmia or cardiac arrest. Hyperkalemia reasons, including: 1. Inadequate dialysis; no appetite; constipation; 4. Intake of high potassium foods, high potassium vegetable, to go to Peel and cut into small pieces, with plenty of clean boiled ~ 5 minutes picked up coffee, tea, chicken, and the concoction of the potassium content of the oil mix or fried; high cause hyperkalemia. High potassium vegetables: green leafy vegetables (such as spinach, water spinach, amaranth, lettuce), mushrooms, seaweed, kelp, carrots, potatoes.Potassium fruits: bananas, tomatoes, dates, oranges, oranges, mangoes, persimmons, cantaloupe, grapefruit, carambola (easy to burp), it is recommended each time a fruit-based, weight about 1/6 is appropriate. Low potassium fruits: pineapple, papaya, watermelon, pear, strawberry, lemon, etc., but not Yichi.

What causes kidney failure?

Kidney failure can occur from an acute situation or from chronic problems.
In acute renal failure, kidney function is lost rapidly and can occur from a variety of insults to the body. The list of causes is often categorized based on where the injury has occurred.
Prerenal causes (pre=before + renal=kidney) causes are due to decreased blood supply to the kidney. Examples of prerenal causes of kidney failure are:
hypovolemia (low blood volume) due to blood loss;
dehydration from loss of body fluid (for example, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, fever);
poor intake of fluids;
medication, for example, diuretics ("water pills") may cause excessive water loss; and
abnormal blood flow to and from the kidney due to obstruction of the renal artery or vein.
Renal causes of kidney failure (damage directly to the kidney itself) include:
Sepsis: The body's immune system is overwhelmed from infection and causes inflammation and shutdown of the kidneys. This usually does not occur with urinary tract infections.
Medications: Some medications are toxic to the kidney, includingnonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen. Others potentially toxic medications include antibiotics like aminoglycosides [gentamicin (Garamycin), tobramycin], lithium(Eskalith, Lithobid), iodine-containing medications such as those injected for radiology dye studies.
Rhabdomyolysis: This is a situation in which there is significant muscle breakdown in the body, and the damaged muscle fibers clog the filtering system of the kidneys. this can occur because of trauma, crush injuries, and burns. Some medications used to treat high cholesterolcan cause rhabdomyolysis.
Multiple myeloma
Acute glomerulonephritis or inflammation of the glomeruli, the filtering system of the kidneys. Many diseases can cause this inflammation including systemic lupus erythematosus, Wegener's granulomatosis, and Goodpasture syndrome.

Complications and Symptoms of Kidney Failure

1.complications relating with the disorder among water, electrolyte and acid-base balance. 2.metabolic disorder of calcium and phosphorus and renal osteodystrophy. 3. Complications in digestive system; 4. Complications in cardiovascular system 5. Complications in respiratory system 6. Complications in hematologic system 7. Infective complications caused by Uremia 8. Complications in Nerve-muscle system 9. Complications caused by skin lesion
1.mild damage on renal function
1)when GFR is no less than 30ml/min, most patients have no main symptoms or only have symptoms like increasing nocturnal enuresis, fatigue, sore waist and so on. During assistant test, some patients may accompany with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
2)Patients with Chronic Renal Failure which is caused by the glomerulus disease may accompany with some common symptoms, such as anemia, hematuria, proteinurine, high blood pressure, oliguria, etc.
3) To patients with Chronic Kidney Disease caused by kidney tubules tubulointerstitial disease, symptoms like anemia, metabolic acidosis and increaseing nocturnal enuresis are common to see. High blood pressure rarely occur unless patients also suffer from urinary tract obstruction, reflux kidneys, etc.

One of the Four Most Common Causes of Kidney Failure

The four most common causes of Kidney Failure are Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Diabetes, Hypertension and infections. Here let's discuss how does Polycystic Kidney Disease cause Kidney Failure.
As a genetic disease, PKD can not be cured with current medical technique. The most three common treatment methods to treat PKD are medicines treatment (pain killer and inflammatory medicines, etc), dialysis treatment and kidney transplant.
At the early stage of PKD, patients may take some medicines to diminish inflammation and kill pain. However, these cannot prevent the growth of their cysts. When the enlarged cysts in patients' kidneys grow big enough to damage kidney tissues, they are at risk of Kidney Failure. When their kidney tissues are severely damaged by cysts, they may experience Kidney Failure.
After patients suffer from Kidney Failure, they have to receive dialysis so as to help their damaged kidneys remove toxin and waste from their body. However, patients' damaged kidneys are still not repaired and the growth of the cysts is still not controlled. With the unceasing growth of cysts, their kidneys may be damaged completely.

High Levels of Glucose Leads to Kidney Failure

Generally, glucose will be delivered into body cells for energy after people eat food. That is to say, there is no or a small certain glucose in blood. However, glucose level will rise due to the insulin resistance caused by immune system or no insulin or less insulin produced by the islet cells.
If patients' glucose level is controlled well, their kidneys may not be damaged. It is high levels of glucose that damage their kidneys.
In order to discharge extra glucose in their blood, their body tries to do this job. And then a certain amount of glucose will be discharged along with the urine.
But too much glucose builds up in their kidneys, the blood vessels in their kidneys will be damaged gradually.
In the early stage of kidney damage, there is no overt symptoms. But there is a small amount of protein in their urine, which may indicate the kidneys have been damaged.
When a large amount of protein in the urine occur, the kidneys are damaged severely. In this stage, patients are experiencing Kidney Failure.
Stem cells treatment can help patients decrease high glucose level by differentiating islet cells.

Damage to Human Body of Stage 4 Kidney Failure

Actually all five stages are the process of deteriorating into Chronic Kidney Failure. Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease can be called Kidney Failure.
Chronic Kidney Disease deteriorates into stage 4 Kidney Failure is a long-term disease and caused by various pathogenesis. The pathological mechanism is: metabolic wastes can not be discharged out of body and then pile up in human body, which is just like toxicants piling up in human body. Long-time accumulation of metabolic wastes can lead to kidney fibrosis, and then kidney will lose its functions of filtrating blood and discharging metabolic wastes so the kidneys can not producing urine or have little urine. Kidney dysfunction makes the metabolic wastes such as urea nitrogen and Creatinine can not be discharged out of human body. These harmful substances can flow to each body part along with blood and then damage each body system.
Digestive Tract System
People with stage 4 kidney failure will have some symptoms in digestive tract system. If disease damages  digestive tract, gastrointestinal mucosa will be stimulated so that symptoms such as nausea, vomit and diarrhea occur. Oral mucosa will also have fester and there will be the smell of ammonia in patients'mouth

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.

How Does Dialysis Help Patients with Kidney Failure

What is Dialysis?
Dialysis is also called artificial kidneys, which, to some extent, can really replace kidneys to do a lot of work when people's kidneys cannot do their job well.
Normal kidneys have their functions to excrete helpful substances (prostaglandin and erythrogenin) so as to regulate blood pressure and provide enough blood to human body.
Kidneys can also remove waste and toxin from human body, so that people's inner environment can be kept clean.
Kidneys help maintain the proper levels of fluid in body so as to prevent dehydration or fluid retention.
Dialysis, as an artificial kidney, can partially replace kidneys to play its function to discharge toxin and remove extra water in body. It seems that dialysis treatment is the only effective method to keep the inner environment of body clean.
When do Patients with Kidney Failure Receive Dialysis?
In the early stage of Kidney Failure, patients are more likely to get a better recovery with the help of conservative treatment, such as some herbal medicines. In this condition, it is not necessary for patients to take dialysis.
If patients who are at the early stage of Kidney Failure didn't pay attention to their disease or get effective treatment, they are prone to the End-stage Kidney Failure. If so, patients have to receive dialysis to help them remove toxin from their body.
Note that one main index that can be used to judge whether patients should receive dialysis is the serum creatinine level. Generally, patients with the creatinine level of 450mg/ dL are recommended to receive dialysis. Whether patients will receive dialysis mainly depend upon their own disease condition and their local reference values of creatinine level.

High Levels of Glucose Leads to Kidney Failure

How Does High Levels of Glucose Occur?
Generally, glucose will be delivered into body cells for energy after people eat food. That is to say, there is no or a small certain glucose in blood. However, glucose level will rise due to the insulin resistance caused by immune system or no insulin or less insulin produced by the islet cells.
Poorly Controlled Glucose Level:
If patients' glucose level is controlled well, their kidneys may not be damaged. It is high levels of glucose that damage their kidneys.
In order to discharge extra glucose in their blood, their body tries to do this job. And then a certain amount of glucose will be discharged along with the urine.
But too much glucose builds up in their kidneys, the blood vessels in their kidneys will be damaged gradually.
A Small Amount of Protein in the Urine:
In the early stage of kidney damage, there is no overt symptoms. But there is a small amount of protein in their urine, which may indicate the kidneys have been damaged.
A Large Amount of Protein in the Urine:
When a large amount of protein in the urine occur, the kidneys are damaged severely. In this stage, patients are experiencing Kidney Failure.
How to Decrease the High Glucose Level?
Stem cells treatment can help patients decrease high glucose level by differentiating islet cells.
How to Repair Damaged Kidneys and Improve Kidney Function?
Stem cells can differentiate kidney cells to replace necrotic ones, which increases normal kidney units and then kidney function will be improved accordingly.

Prevent Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome from Progressing to Kidney Failure

1. What will Cause or Stimulate the Occurrence of Kidney Failure?
1) Frequent Relapse
Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome is easy to relapse since it is not treated from the root causes. Besides, it is more likely to relapse when patients experience infection or cold. Frequent relapse of it will
Infection or cold may cause the relapse of it
Some patients may be recommended to take some renal toxic drugs, which will damage the kidneys and burden the kidneys. Taking renal toxic drugs in a long time, the kidneys are more likely to be severely damaged.
2. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy:
This therapy is externally used by skin, meridians and collaterals and then kidney lesion with the help of osmosis device and penetrant. Children only need to lie on two small bags of powder medicine to receive treatment. It takes about 45 minutes.
This kind of medicine is mainly composed of herbs that has no side effect on children. So far, no one receiving this treatment is sensitive to herbal medicines.
3. How Does Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy Work on Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome?
After the medicines are permeated into kidney lesion, the kidney lesion will be repaired gradually. Once the kidney lesion is repaired, the edema or urine protein will be eliminated.

Are There Advanced Medicines for Chronic Kidney Failure

There are mainly two kinds of orally used medicines: Chinese Medicine and Western medicine. For patients with Chronic Kidney Failure, they always take hormone (prednisone), immunosuppressive agent or cytotoxic agents (cyclophosphamide) to eliminate the symptoms, such as proteinuria and edema. However, patients choose Chinese Medicine gradually, such as cordyceps to repair their damaged kidneys due to the side effects resulted from taking hormone in a long time.
Externally Used Medicines:
Considering orally used Chinese medicines taste a little bitter, the other type Chinese medicine-externally used medicines are developed, which is called Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy.
After the effective medicines are permeated into kidney lesion, patients' kidneys will be repaired gradually through dilating blood vessels, anti-inflammation and degrading extracellular matrix. And then ischmia and anoxia condition will be improved and normal kidney cells will not be further damaged. If so, the damaged kidney cells will be repaired gradually.
Once the damaged kidney cells are repaired, the kidney function will be improved accordingly.
However, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy only can repair the damaged kidney cells rather than the necrotic ones. In this condition, Stem Cell Transplant is adopted to differentiate new and healthy cells to replace the dead kidney cells. By this way, the kidney function is more likely to be greatly improved.

How are Diabetes and Kidney Failure Interlinked with Each Other

 Kidney failure led by diabetes is usually more complex and dangerous then other kidney diseases, even after the initiation of dialysis and kidney transplant, diabetics tend to go on much worser than others.
Then how are Diabetes and kidney failure interlinked with each other?
First, Diabetes can cause renal failure. The culprit in the progression into end-stage renal failure is the high blood glucose, which forces the kidneys to work beyond its capacity so as to excrete the excessive sugar out, thus gradually damaging renal capillaries. High blood glucose also slows down blood flow and intensifies blood concentration, causing deposits of excellular matrix in glomeruli and thickening glomerular basilar membrane. Over time, more and more glomeruli are damaged and diffuse glomerular sclerosis develops, causing increasing amount of protein in urine.
Besides, high blood pressure, whether primary or secondary to diabetes, is another important factor that deteriorate kidney condition. Diabetics with high blood pressure usually have a poorer prognosis than others. Another factor that increases chances of getting renal failure is family history of kidney diseases, but the genetic rate varies.
The earliest sign of diabetic kidney disease is microalbuminuria, which refers to protein in urine between 30mg/24h to 300mg/24h. Heavy proteinuria(>3.5 g/24h) and overall swelling usually indicate that the disease has developed into clinical stage and will develop into end-stage renal failure rapidly.
How does diabetes affect the patients at end-stage renal failure?
In end-stage renal failure, patients are faced with both complications of kidney failure(such as vomiting, nausea, poor appetite, swelling and short breath) and diabetic complications(such as heart disease, retinopathy and neuropathy). So the situation is hard to be controlled. Also, due to lowered immunity, diabetics are also more likely to get infections, which, if occurs, can aggravate heart disease and can be life-threatening. Thereby, diabetics on dialysis usually have a poorer prognosisthan other kidney diseases.

The Treatments of Kidney Failure Caused by Hypertension

So far, there are six kinds of hypotensor: diuretics, Bata Blocker, Calcium Antagonist, Alpha Blocker, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme, Angiotensin Receptor Antagonist, which are all chemical drugs or medicines. They are effective in treating Acute Hypertension or hypertensive crisis as well as perioperative hypertension. However, those medicines tend to cause blood pressure to fluctuate greatly, which will affect the metabolism of water, electrolyte, blood lipid, blood glucose and so on. For instance, too fast lowering blood pressure will make heart fail in pumping enough blood for vital activities and especially damage brain and kidneys which are rich in capillaries. Western medicines mainly dilate blood vessels to lower blood pressure but they are helpless in improving high lipid, high viscosity in blood, angiosclerosis along with damaged organs. As reported, Kidney Failure and Heart Failure take main responsibility for the death of patients with hypertension. Therefore, the blood pressure can not be controlled stable and the persistent wavy blood pressure will make those patients have hypotensor in their whole life.
Hypertension and Kidney Failure
Hypertension is the main factor of deteriorating Kidney Failure. As kidneys are rich in capillaries, renal tissues, especially kidney tubules, are sensitive to the lack of blood and oxygen resulting from fluctuating blood pressure. Actually, Kidney Failure is the result of the interaction of hypertension and Kidney Failure. Most patients with Kidney Failure are accompanied with hypertension, while hypertension is destined to damage kidneys. However, the people with hypertension seldom have the ideal of their lost renal function. The effective medicines can lower blood pressure gradually and protect other organs at the same time.
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy
In order to lower hypertension forever, we must solve the problems of thick blood and sclerotic blood vessels. Chinese herbal medicines in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy boast for regulating blood lipid, blood glucose and blood pressure, such as Kendir and Glossy Ganoderma. Some other substances in Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are able to not only dilate blood vessels but also soften them. Moreover, it is a long and chronic course of lowering blood pressure through Chinese traditional medicines, which is stable and harmonious. The side effects are little, because Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy applies external technology and equipment not oral methods, avoiding the discomforts of intestine and abdomen. At the same time, it can enhance the immunity and protect kidneys and other organs from being damaged.

Symptoms for Kidney Failure in Different Stages


Kidney Failure is usually divided into there stages, which are early-stage Kidney Failure, moderate-stage of Kidney Failure and end-stage Kidney Failure. Each stage has different characteristics. Some people want to know the knowledge about symptoms at each stage so as to judge at which stage Kidney Failure they are. Only according to the knowledge about symptoms, of course, can’t exactly or precisely know the specific stage of Kidney Failure. You should do urine test, blood test, kidney function test as well as bilateral Ultrasound, which can tell you the real illness condition scientifically.
Early-stage Kidney Failure
During this stage, patients are suffering from hypertension, ischemia, sepsis or nephrotoxin, and all of which can easily cause Acute Tubular Necrosis. However, no serious damages have been caused to kidney parenchyma during this time, so the symptoms are inconspicuous. In order to prevent the occurrence of Acute Tubular Necrosis, urine ordinary test and blood test are necessary for the timely detection and treatment of this disease.
Moderate-stage Kidney Failure

Vomiting and Nausea of Patients with Kidney Failure


Most patients with Kidney Failure have symptoms of nausea and vomiting which are usually considered as stomach trouble, delaying treatment. Most Patients with Kidney Failure are confused that why they have the symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
When patients are suffering from end-stage kidney failure, body metabolism can be changed, which can stimulate bacteria lived in gastrointestinal tract to secrete urea enzymes. This urea enzyme can break urine down into amino which has a strong stimulation to gastrointestinal tract, causing symptoms of nausea, vomiting, low appetite and hemorrhage of ulcer, or even intractable hiccup. Bad smell in mouth and amino smell in breath happen complicatedly. Besides, diarrhea is also a serious symptom of Patients with Kidney Failure.
Urea nitrogen is the main toxin of patient with kidney failure, but not the only one. Some other toxins are also related with kidney failure, such as guanidines, phenols, aromatic acids, creatinine, uric acids and fatty acid, accumulation of all these toxins can cause gastrointestinal tract symptoms and affect permeability of cell membrane and ion operation. Besides, this can also damage Red Blood Cells, which can lead to Anemia. Most of these toxins can be degraded in kidneys, but when Kidney Disease develops into end stage, kidney clearance rate decreases obviously. For this reason, there is a high concentration of these toxins in blood, and then clinical symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms happen.

Life Span for Patients with Kidney Failure after Kidney Transplantation


Kidney Transplantation is method which can transplant a proper kidney into people’s body to replace the damaged kidney to play function. Successful kidney transplantation can help people with Kidney Failure get rid of the torture of dialysis. However, kidney transplantation has disadvantages such as the kidney source is the most difficult problem to solve, everyday, there will have thousands of people dies of no proper kidneys. In addition, kidney transplantation will cost people a lot of money. They have to take immunomodulator for a whole life, which is also a big cost. Some rich people will care about the life span after doing kidney transplantation.
Actually, the life span after doing kidney transplantation is various among people. The general livability for people who have done kidney transplantation is: one year life accounts for 90%, five years life accounts for 5%, ten years life accounts for 1%.

Causes of Declining of Kidney Function


Most people with Kidney Failure feel confused why their kidney function will decline. My patients usually said to me that they have a good appetite and energetic everyday. Why they will get kidney failure? Why their kidney function is declining gradually? Do you have the same confusion? Actually the declining of kidney function is closely related to good living habits as well as some other factors.
The causes of declining of kidney function:
1. Eat too much meat can accelerate the declining of kidney function.
According the newest research, as for women with slight kidney dysfunction, there is too much meat in their daily diet, which will lead to the declining of kidney function. I addition, researchers also found that relatively protein intake for women with healthy kidney function will not lead to declining of kidney function. However, as for women with slight kidney dysfunction, overdose intake of protein will accelerate the declining of kidney function no matter vegetable protein or animal protein.
2. The kidney function in women begins to decline in their thirties.
Previously the researchers think that kidney function begin to decline in women’s thirties; however, recent research shows that women’s kidney function begin to decline gradually in their thirties. When people at their sixties or seventies they have no kidney disease but their kidney function must be very poor.

Smoking May Cause Kidney Failure


As we all know, smoking is the main factor of Lung Cancer, but it is commonly ignorance that smoking may cause Kidney Failure.
Kidney Failure is the course of kidney being destroyed and losing its functions gradually, which can be caused by many diseases, such as Chronic Nephritis, Lithangiuria, Chronic Pyelonephritis, Phthisis, diabetes and High Blood Pressure etc. Besides the Kidney Diseases, Phthisis, Diabetes and High Blood Pressure all can be caused by smoking.
Phthisis Tubercle bacillus invades into body and provokes the reaction of lymphocyte and phagocyte, which is allergic reaction in fact. Smoking decreases the immune ability and arouses respiratory tract infection or other diseases with infection and inflammation. Kidney Diseases are included. As we all know, all blood in the body must be flow through lung to exchange oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. If kidney takes Phthisis, the virus will be brought into every organ by internal circulation. Kidney is one of the main victims. In the treatment of Phthisis, a lot of antibiotics are adopted, which is poisonous to kidneys for they must drain out though urine.

A Recipe for a Patient with Kidney Failure

Anushka Maraj, a patient with Kidney Failure, asked me which food she should have. So I advised a recipe for her according her medical conditions as following:
Creatinine clearance was 17.26ml/mins.
24 hour urinary protein was 342 mg/24h
The machine value was 21.6
No blood in my urine
No swelling
No shortness of breathe
Her creatinine is greatly lower than the normal level 80 to 120 ml/mins, which means she are about to be at the stage of the End Stage Kidney Failure. At this stage, the food plays an important role in retarding Kidney Failure deteriorating.
Protein As her 24 hour urinary protein is 342 mg/24h, a lot of protein is losing from her body. It is important to keep the balance between protein replenishing and reducing kidney workload. So her protein intake is controlled in 30g/d, which can be available from animal protein food such as red meat, peeled poultry, fish, milk and eggs. However, they must depend on the principle that each food should be had in a small amount.
