With kidney disease, you have to pay attention to what you eat, because improper intake can make your condition worse. Can excessive protein intake cause you to have low GFR? Read on to learn more information.
About protein intake for kidney patients
Once your kidneys are damaged, they are not able to filter waste products and extra fluid from body. If you take a lot of protein, it will produce a lot of metabolic wastes, which can put extra stress on kidneys and cause further kidney damage, and too much protein intake can also make your proteinuria worse, while proteinuria can speed up glomerulosclerosis. Therefore, once your kidneys have damaged, it is not suggested to have a high protein diet.
And when choosing protein, there is plant protein and animal protein. Animal protein is almost high quality protein. It is high in essential amino acids, and can be absorbed by body and be used into body function.
Treatment to protect renal function
Besides diet, you need to take medical treatment. Here we recommend you to try a systemic treatment. It is Toxin-Removing Treatment. This is a systemic treatment, which is composed of 9 therapies. Those therapies can work together to eliminate waste products and extra fluid from body. They can also dilate blood vessels and remove stasis to improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into kidneys so that enough essential elements can be transported into nidus to speed up kidney recovery. Moreover, they can restore the balance of anti-inflammatory cytokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines to reduce renal inflammation and control the disease from getting worse. After about half month’s treatment, your proteinuria, hematuria, high blood pressure and so on will get relieved. After about one month’s treatment, your disease will be under control, and renal function will get improved. And then there are not so many diet restrictions.
