Mary James 🔹 Introduction 🚨 If you have CKD, consult your doctor before making major dietary changes. 🔹 1. Reduce Salt & Sodium Intake 🧂 ✅ High sodium raises blood pressure & damages kidney filters (glomeruli).✅ Reducing salt intake lowers protein loss in urine. 💡 Best Low-Sodium Practices:✔ Limit salt to <1,500 mg/day.✔ Use fresh herbs, garlic, … Read more
A declining estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) indicates reduced kidney function, often associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). While kidney damage is typically considered irreversible, scientific evidence suggests that it’s possible to stabilize and even improve eGFR levels through targeted interventions. Understanding eGFR and Kidney Function eGFR measures how well your kidneys filter waste from … Read more
Managing elevated creatinine levels is crucial for individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), as it reflects kidney function and overall health. Implementing targeted strategies can help reduce creatinine levels and support kidney health. Understanding Creatinine and Its Significance Creatinine is a waste product generated from normal muscle metabolism. Under typical conditions, kidneys efficiently filter creatinine … Read more
🔹 Introduction 🔹 When Can Proteinuria Be Reversed? ✅ Temporary Proteinuria (Reversible) 💡 If the cause is temporary, proteinuria can be reversed by correcting lifestyle factors. 🚨 If proteinuria persists for more than 3 months, it may indicate kidney disease. ✅ Chronic Proteinuria (Partially Reversible) 🚨 Advanced CKD (Stage 4-5) may not be fully reversible, … Read more
🔹 Introduction 🔹 1. Reduce Salt & Sodium Intake 🧂 ✅ Excess salt increases BP & damages kidney filters (glomeruli).✅ Lowering sodium intake reduces protein leakage. 💡 Best Practices:✔ Limit salt to <1,500 mg/day.✔ Use herbs & lemon instead of salt.✔ Avoid processed foods, canned soups, chips, soy sauce, pickles. 🚨 High sodium = More … Read more
🔹 Introduction 🔹 How High Protein Intake Increases Urea Levels ✅ 1. Increased Protein Metabolism 🍖 ✅ 2. Increased Kidney Workload 🏥 ✅ 3. Dehydration Risk 💧 ✅ 4. Acid-Base Imbalance ⚖️ 🚨 If kidney function is compromised, excess protein can accelerate kidney damage and increase urea retention. 🔹 Effects of High Urea Levels Due … Read more
