What Foods Shouldn't You Eat When You Have Renal Failure

Stage 5 CKD is also called established chronic kidney disease and is synonymous with the now outdated terms end-stage renal disease (ESRD), chronic kidney failure (CKF) or chronic renal failure (CRF).

Diet is a very important aspect for renal failure patient to control the development of kidney disease. So, what foods shouldn't you eat when you have renal failure?

1. High potassium: such as all kinds of edible fungi, potato, Chinese yam, cabbage, date, banana, orange, white fungus, peach, apricot, spinach, rape, etc.

2. Foods with high salt such as: MSG, soda cracker, fine dried noodles, soy sauce, deep-fried cruller, etc. the patient of unstable blood pressure with severe edema, should avoid salt. In general, every patient takes salt less than 3g every day.

3. High phosphorus such as: marine food products and marine plant, seaweed, laver, animals' bowels, sesame, tea, honey, yolk, etc.

4. Note: It is forbidden to use animal oil while cooking. Take vegetable oil mainly, don't take fatty food. It is better for the kidney patient to corn oil contained unsaturated fatty acid.

5. Take high-quality protein—patients can take right amount of egg white, milk, and fine lean meat, the amount of intake should be less than 100g. Can't take vegetable protein, such as bean and each kind of bean products, bean curd, and bean milk. Can't take every kind of nuts, such as peanut, melon seeds, and walnut.

6. Take high vitamin-- the patients of kidney disease can take more vegetable and various kinds of fruits, like pear, apple, cucumber, tomato, etc.

Note: the patients of kidney disease should avoid spicy food (such as onion, ginger, garlic, etc), avoid smoke and liquor. While being oliguria, the patient needs to control the water intake. In general, the water intake should less than the urine volume on the day before.

Chinese Herbal Medication to Treat Renal Failure

In treating Renal Failure, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is used to block the renal fibrosis. The core technology of it is to micronize the Chinese medicine and apply it on bilateral renal area so as to permeate the medicine into the renal lesions with the action of the osmoscope.

The process of the development of Renal Failure is the gradual decrease of effective nephrons and the decline of the renal function. In this process, the bilateral kidneys will shrink and a large amount of glomeruli will ossify and the tubules and interstitial will appear. Therefore, the process of Renal Failure is the process of the aggravation of renal fibrosis. It is significant to block the renal fibrosis so as to control the development of the illness condition effectively.

Blocking renal fibrosis is a hard problem in medical field. Though many institutions pointed out that some Chinese medicine has effect in blocking renal fibrosis, there is only a few that apply the medicine clinically. The medicine we use is a series of Chinese medicine processed by high technology. After micronization, the activity of the medicine will increase and some medicine that cannot make full play of the effect in normal condition can also showing the effect.
The synthetization and accumulation of large amount of extracellular matrix play the key role of causing renal fibrosis. Excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix will lead to the decline of renal function. In this process, the synthetization of myofibroblast plays an important part in synthesizing extracellular matrix. In order to block the renal fibrosis, we must stop the transformation from fibroblast to myofibroblast. The activity material of Chinese medicine will closely fuse with the molecules of myofibroblast and dissolve it, break it. The broken myofibroblast will be devoured by the phagocytes and discharged out of body.
The core of the treatment for Renal Failure is to block the aggravating chain of renal fibrosis and the key point of blocking renal fibrosis is to find the medicine that can prevent the transformation to myofibroblast. Micro-Chinese medicine is just such a kind of medicine.

How Long to Live with Renal Failure

How long to live with Renal Failure depends on the control of the development of the illness condition. After Chinese medicine treatment, there are many patients can survive for dozens of years. There are also some patients undergoing dialysis can also survive for dozens of years. Let alone the pain of dialysis, it is also costly. Then how to ease the pain of the patients without spending much money but prolong the life span of the patients?

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has unique advantages in treating Renal Failure. By regulating systematic immune function and repairing glomerular basement membrane, special Chinese medicine can spread into the kidney through acupuncture points so as to invigorate blood circulation, eliminate blood stasis and discharge toxins thus dredging the kidney and activating renal function. It can promote and improve microcirculation of the shrunk kidneys and speed up the metabolism of the damaged kidney so as to make full play of the active material of the medicine. Therefore, it can repair the damaged glomeruli, strengthen the reabsorption of the tubules and recover the normal renal function, so the serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen will come down to normal.

Apart from the treatment, proper diet is also very important. The most important thing is the confidence of recovery. As long as the patients are positive and can cooperate well with the doctors, there will sure be chance that the patients can live long with Renal Failure.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy has been approved by the social people in all fields. Hope it can help you. If you need more information, please email to khkpcn@hotmail.com.

When Is Time to Start Dialysis in Renal Failure

Chronic Renal Failure refers to chronic kidney disease or systematic disease that affected the kidney and caused the decline of renal function. It is the syndrome composed of various clinical symptoms and metabolic disorder. The time to start dialysis depends on the illness condition of the patients with comprehensive assessment.

Renal Failure caused by Diabetic Nephropathy develops quickly in the end stage and there are more complications. Therefore, patients with Diabetic Nephropathy start dialysis earlier than other kidney disease patients. When the Glomerular Filtration Rate(GFR) is lower than 15ml/min, they have to begin dialysis. For elder patients and patients with malnutrition, the muscle is not much and the serum creatinine is low, so it cannot reflect the true condition of the renal function. Thereby, when to start dialysis depends not only on the serum creatinine, but consider more about the Glomerular Filtration Rate. 

Apart from the value of the tests, whether to start dialysis should also consider the clinical manifestations such as severe water and sodium retention, pulmonary edema, hard control electrolyte disorder, acid-base imbalance, serious hypertension, pericarditis and heart failure. When these symptoms appear, the patient should consider undergo dialysis.

All in all, the proper time of dialysis is when the systematic complications have not appeared and there are the above manifestations.

What does It Mean If I Have Low Creatinine Levels

Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine, which is an important part of muscle. It is usually excreted (removed) from the body entirely by the kidneys. If the kidneys start to become diseased, the serum creatinine level will rise.

The typical reference ranges are 0.5 to 1.0 mg/dL (about 45-90 μmol/l) for women and 0.7 to 1.2 mg/dL (60-110 μmol/l) for men.
Having a low level of creatinine indicate nothing more than an efficient and effective pair of kidneys.

A creatinine clearance test is used to help evaluate the rate and efficiency of kidney filtration by collecting all the urine passed over a period of 24 hours and then to compare the amount of creatinine in the blood to the level in the blood stream. It is used to help detect and diagnosed kidney dysfunction.

In normally functioning kidneys, the level of creatinine in the urine compared to the blood should be high as it is being passed out efficiently.

Conversely, if the level in the urine is low, with a high blood creatinine level, this in an indication of a problem, for which a consultant physician is usually involved.

Seafoods and Renal Failure

For people with renal failure, there are a lot of restrictions in diet. The following are some foseafoods that renal failure patients should not take:

For protein lost in urine is relatively much, when renal function is still good, and concentration of non protein nitrogen in blood is not high, renal failure patient could supply large amount of protein. But, when renal function is insufficient, the urine volume must be decreased. It is inappropriate to eat high protein foods, otherwise, the uremia will occur.

Therefore, high protein content seafood, such as, sea cucumber, dace, yellow croaker, goby, mandarin fish, etc. should be taken less for patients.

So, above seafood which renal failure patients should keep in mind and avoid eat arbitrary. Otherwise, the result can not be imagined.

Diet Plan for People with Kidney Failure

People with Kidney Failure are suggested to pay special attention to the diet and avoid the burden to the body:

a) Protein limitation: for patients with no dialysis, as the kidney can not discharge the waste of protein metabolism, it will aggravate the condition; for patients have already started doing dialysis, the point is, there will loss of protein when doing dialysis, so they should maintain the body needs according to the nutritionist's suggestion.
Therefore, the Kidney Failure patients should limit the intake of protein. it is advisable to take the food with high protein, such as milk, meat to supply the body need.

b) Limit the intake of sodium.
Because salt is high in sodium, if there stored too much sodium in the body of Renal Failure patients, it will result in hyperhydropoxis, which will lead to cardiopulmonary failure or the aggravation of Renal Failure. But do not use low sodium salt, because of high-potassium.

c) Limit the intake of potassium. The accumulated potassium in vivo will result in muscle weakness, or even worse, it can cause arrhythmia and then heart failure. Such as banana, dried fruit, beef, pork, sardine, soybean paste, lettuce etc. The patients can eat the food with rich magnesium, such as dark green vegetable and chocolate etc.

d) Limit the intake of phosphorus. As the excessive phosphorus in vivo will cause the loss of calcium, so doctors will control the phosphorus content in blood with the assist of medicine, in case of osteoporosis happens.

e) Water intake. If too much water is taken, there will be edema or heart failure when kidneys can’t discharge it. So it is very important to control the intake of water. Doctors will suggest the acceptable daily intake by the urine volume or dialyzed water volume of individual patient, usually the water intake should be the urine volume of the day before plus 500-750c.
