How to protect the kidneys

First , there must be a reasonable intake of protein. The main metabolites in the body from dietary protein components , and therefore , in order to reduce the workload of the remaining kidney , protein intake and renal excretion must adapt . For example, when serum creatinine was 170-440 micromoles / liter , the protein is 0.6 grams per kilogram per day is appropriate, there are a lot of proteinuria , urinary protein per 1 g lost , you can add extra 1.5 grams of protein . When serum creatinine more than 440 micromoles / liter , protein intake should be further reduced to a total of not more than 30 grams a day as well. However, it must be emphasized that if the blind pursuit of limiting protein intake , will result in the patient suffering from malnutrition , physical decline , the effect is not good.
Second , in order to get the maximum use of protein intake , do not let it into energy consumed in taking low- protein diet , it is also necessary to replenish their energy . Per kilogram of body weight per day for at least 35 kcal of heat, mainly by sugar supply , to eat the fruit , sugar products, chocolate , jam , honey.
Third , it is worth noting that there are some foods, although in line with the previous conditions , such as egg yolks, meat floss , organ meats , dairy products , bone marrow , but because of their high phosphorus content and unfit for human consumption , because storing phosphorus may promote further deterioration of renal function . To reduce the amount of phosphorus in food , edible fish, meat , potatoes , etc., should be boiled before abandoning further cooking soup .
Fourthly, the amount of salt should be considered illness, 2 grams if hypertension, edema , to use low-salt diet , daily salt .
Fifth , after the renal excretion of drugs may also damage the kidneys , such as gentamicin , sulfa antibiotics, such as penicillin , indomethacin , acetaminophen, and hormone , contrast agent .
