A Written Report In
Renal (kidney) failure means that your kidneys are not able to get rid of all the wastes from your blood. These wastes come from the foods you eat and the liquids you drink. Renal failure is also known as chronic kidney disease or chronic renal failure. Renal failure usually happens slowly over time.
Some people eventually have total renal failure (end-stage renal failure) and need dialysis treatments. Dialysis treatments remove extra wastes from your blood with a dialysis machine when your kidneys cannot do this job. Renal failure may happen because of diabetes, high blood pressure or other health problems.
A renal failure diet controls the amount of protein and phosphorus (FOS-for-us) in your diet. You may also have to limit the amount of sodium in your diet. Following a renal failure diet can help decrease the amount of wastes made by your body. It can also help your kidneys work better, which may delay total renal failure.
A low-protein diet is any diet in which the protein intake is reduced. Anyone diagnosed with kidney or liver disease may be prescribed a low-protein diet.
Animal products (fish, poultry, eggs, meat, dairy products) considered high quality or complete protein.
Vegetable products (breads, cereals, rice, pasta, dried beans) considered low quality or incomplete protein.
To reduce the amount of protein consumed, protein foods in recipes can be stretched (to consume less) or reduced as against more of the low- or non-protein foods (less in proportion), making a smaller amount seem just as satisfying.
Sandwiches
Use thinly sliced meats. Fill with salad items like lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, cucumber, chopped celery, apple, parsley or water chestnuts.
Soups
Use lower protein foods (milk substitutes for cream soups, or rice or pasta) to make soups as filling but with less protein.
Main Dishes
Make the main dish of vegetables and grains, and treat meat as the side dish to your meal. Use small pieces of meat and more vegetables in kebabs. Make fried rice with vegetables and use less meat or shrimp. For salads use crisp, fresh vegetables and only a few small strips of meat and egg. For casseroles, reduce the amount of meat and increase the starch, pasta or rice. In recipes using soup, use a low sodium mix. Use low-protein pastas and breads in the diet. For cheeses, use smaller amounts of stronger-tasting cheeses (sharp cheddar, parmesan or romano) for plenty of flavor.
What other kind of changes do I have to make while on a renal failure diet?
Protein: You will need to limit the amount of protein in your diet. This will help decrease the wastes in your blood, helping your kidneys to work better. Foods that are high in protein are meat, poultry (chicken), fish, eggs, and dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt). Your caregiver will tell you how much protein to eat each day.
Phosphorus: You will need to limit the amount of phosphorus in your diet. When you have kidney failure, your kidneys cannot get rid of extra phosphorus that builds up in your blood. This may cause calcium to leave your bones and make them weak. Foods that are high in phosphorus are dairy products, beans, peas and nuts. It is also found in liquids such as cocoa, beer and cola drinks. Your caregiver will tell you how much phosphorus you should have in your diet each day.
Sodium: You may have to limit the amount of sodium in your diet if you have certain health problems. These may include high blood pressure or extra fluid in your body. Your caregiver will tell you how much sodium you should have each day. Table salt, canned foods, processed meats like deli meats and sausage, soups and salted snacks are high in sodium. You may have to limit high sodium foods and table salt in your diet.
Potassium: Usually, you do not need to limit the amount of potassium in your diet. However, you may need to limit potassium if you have too much potassium in your blood. Your caregiver will tell you if your blood levels of potassium are too high. Potassium is found in fruits and vegetables. You may have to limit fruits and vegetables that are high in potassium.
Cholesterol. Another problem that may be associated with kidney failure is high cholesterol. High levels of cholesterol in the blood may result from a high-fat diet. Cholesterol can build up on the inside walls of blood vessels. The buildup makes pumping blood through the vessels harder for the heart and can cause heart attacks and strokes.
Points to Remember
The kidneys are two vital organs that keep the blood clean and chemically balanced.
Kidney disease can be detected through a spot check for protein or albumin in the urine and a calculation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) based on a blood test. The progression of kidney disease can be slowed, but it cannot always be reversed. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the total or nearly total and permanent loss of kidney function. Dialysis and transplantation can extend the lives of people with kidney failure. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the two leading causes of kidney failure. People with reduced kidney function should see their doctor regularly. Doctors who specialize in kidney disease are called nephrologists. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. People in the early stages of CKD may be able to save their remaining kidney function for many years by
