Treatment for KIDNEY DISEASE with diet
Treatment for Kidney Disease with diet.
Kidney filters waste and excessive water from blood which are later stored in the urinary bladder to be expelled out of body in the form of urine. Along with this, the kidneys manage pH levels in the body. Potassium regulation is also done by them. They provide hormones required for blood pressure regulation. The kidneys also convert Vitamin D to its active form and thus are vital in keeping healthy bones.
KIDNEY DISEASES:
CKD (CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE): As the name suggests, it is a chronic condition usually caused by high blood pressure. Hypertension increases the pressure on the Glomeruli (blood vessels in kidney that filter blood and cleanse it). Another cause of CKD is diabetes. The increased glucose levels damage the Glomeruli. Unmanaged CKD can lead to dialysis..
KIDNEY STONES:
With time, toxins and minerals in blood start accumulating and building up in kidneys and take the shape of stones. These stones may or may not pass out with urine. If they come out they cause extreme pain and discomfort. The Kidney stones are usually made up of Calcium oxalate and Uric acid.
Symptoms:
Nausea & Vomiting
Severe Pain on the sides of lower bacK
Stomach ache
Fever and chills
Blood in urine
Smelly urine
Causes:
Dehydration
Higher Uric Acid levels
More consumption of Purine foods
No exercise.
Obesity
Gastrointestinal diseases.
Excessive salt & sugar consumption.
DIALYSIS:
When the kidneys become totally non functional, the dialysis procedure is carried out to remove excess water and waste from the blood of the patient.
How UD works:
At UD, we provide carefully planned diets for the patients with kidney diseases. The dietary intervention reduces the chances of your kidney disease becoming chronic. If the dietary intervention is induced in the initial stages of the disease, the kidneys can remain functional throughout life.
Dialysis can be avoided by keeping a healthy diet, managing weight and exercising. The patients under dialysis require a well planned diet which includes high quality proteins and is low in fibre, phosphorus, sodium and potassium.
