Proteinuria is a typical symptom of chronic kidney disease (CKD). But because it does not make you have any discomfort, you usually ignore it. In fact, you can observe your urine in the daily. When there is a lot of protein in urine, your urine will become foamy.
How does kidney disease cause proteinuria?
Proteinuria usually results from damage of glomerular filtration barrier. While the damage of glomerular filtration barrier is associated with two aspects. One is congenitally deficient. The other one is acquired damage. And the acquired damage includes two aspects, namely unhealthy lifestyle and environment pollution.
Treatment for proteinuria caused by kidney disease
-If your proteinuria is slight, ACEI or ARB may be used to reduce pressure in glomeruli so as to reduce protein leakage.
-If your proteinuria is massive, steroids or immunosuppressants are used to suppress immune system and reduce renal inflammation to decrease permeability of blood vessels so as to decrease proteinuria.
The above treatment is helpful, but it is only temporary medical relief, because they can not solve the problem from the root. With the decline of kidney function, waste products build up in the blood. They do not only cause damage to your kidneys, but also counteract the effect of medications you use. Therefore, it is necessary for you to cleanse the polluted blood.
In our hospital, Toxin-Removing Treatment is often used. It can help expel massive waste products from body via your urine, stool and sweat. It can also improve blood circulation and increase blood flow into damaged kidneys. In such a way, a good blood environment is set up for kidney self-healing and other medication application. With the gradual improvement of kidney function, protein can be retained in body. As a result, proteinuria will turn negative. So far we have helped thousands of renal patients get remission from proteinuria or even refractory proteinuria.
Diet for patients with proteinuria
Different renal patients have different diet plans. For example, if you are nephritis patients with azotemia or early kidney function deficiency, it is better for you to limit proteinuria, otherwise it will speed up kidney disease deterioration. If you are with massive proteinuria, it is necessary for you to supplement moderate high quality protein to correct hypoproteinemia, reduce swelling and strengthen immunity. If you are in uremia stage, protein intake should be limited. But if you have been on dialysis, you should increase protein intake to 1.2-1.5 g/kg per day.
If you have persistent proteinuria, importance should be attached, because it indicates renal parenchyma damage and your current treatment is not effective enough for you to control the disease well.
