Important Nutrition and Minerals for Renal Patients

Protein

Every nephrologist treats their Renal failure patient according to their KFT reports. Renal patients with protein loss need to add some protein in their Diet, but if there is no protein loss, the patient needs to avoid too much protein intake. The Renal is mostly affected because of High Creatinine and Urea Levels. Every Renal failure patient has a different type of Renal disease. That’s the reason doctors treat them according to their stages and condition. The Diet chart for CKD Patients should be full of nutrients according to their body needs. If one take a less nutrition diet, that can be unhealthy for the patient’s body, but if we take a high nutrition diet, that can also be unhealthy for the patient’s body.

Protein is known as the no. 1 building block of the body. Protein helps to grow, heal the body and stay healthy, but still, there is a condition; having less protein can make patients weaker. But having too much protein can also create problems.

Patients need to ask the doctor about how much protein they can have and about the sources of protein.

Take lower-protein foods:

 Moong Daal without skin

 Egg white

 Blueberries

 Oats

Avoid higher-protein foods:

 Red meat

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrate is a good substitute of protein. Patients can replace protein with carbohydrates because it is the easiest kind of energy for the body to use.
Carbohydrates become the last and important option when the patient is advised for a protein-free diet. If the patient is suggested for a protein-free diet, there is a Carbohydrate left that can fulfill the insufficiency of protein. Carbohydrates can give the energy that a person needs to do all daily activities. Carbohydrate is a good energy source to keep the body active, and this is what a person needs.

Do you know? There are many carbohydrates that are high in Potassium and Phosphorus, and only Health Experts can explain the source of carbohydrates that are good and sufficient for you. Still, a patient should consult with their doctor to know the number of carbohydrates needs their body.

Potassium
The body needs all the minerals and nutrition to work the body properly, but here we need to take these important components according to our body intake capability.

“I don’t say to take more quantity of minerals and nutrients to stay healthy. I believe that Neither it should be less nor too much”.
– Dr. PuruDhawan

The damaged Renal may affect the level of Potassium. Having too much or too light Potassium can cause many health issues such as heart problems, muscle cramps, or weak muscle. If you are not sure about the right intake of Potassium, consult with your doctor. They will help to set a limit of Potassium.
We have mentioned the sources that a Renal patient can eat or avoid, but only a doctor can tell you the right amount of Potassium.

Take lower-potassium foods

 Apple

 Bitter Gourd

 Blueberries

 Round gourd

 Bottle Gourd

 Strawberries

 Snake Gourd

Avoid higher-potassium foods

 Avocados

 Bananas

 Oranges

 Spinach

Sodium

Sodium is as common as other minerals are. However, every mineral has its own property that works individually. Less sodium levels can cause muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Too much sodium levels can cause swelling in the body, high blood pressure. This can pressure the Renal to work more than before.
