Stay away from dialysis? Life-saving diet: low protein+ketoamino acids

According to the survey of Taiwan Province Nephrology Association, there are more than 2 million patients with chronic kidney disease in Taiwan Province province, but only 3.5% of them know that they have kidney problems. Doctors suggested that in the face of the high risk of death from kidney disease, protein's restricted diet combined with ketoamino acids should be adopted to effectively delay the deterioration of renal function and avoid the nightmare of "kidney washing".

Director Guo pointed out that patients with chronic kidney disease in stages 1 and 2 should not only find out whether they have potential diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, but also pay attention to low salt, less oil and proper calories in their diet. (The picture shows Director Guo and Aunt Guo, photographer/reporter Zhang Shijie) There are/kloc-0 83-year-old grandmothers in New Taipei City who have a history of hypertension and have regular physical examinations every month. Five years ago, their renal index was abnormal, and there was renal atrophy, and their renal function was only 7% of that of normal people. However, when they heard the word "renal dialysis", Aunt Guo strongly resisted.

Restricting protein diet+ketoacid amino acid toxin to change nutritional composition

After that, at the suggestion of Guo, director of renal dialysis center of Taibei Tzu Chi Hospital, dietitian, protein was used to restrict diet, and ketoamino acid was used to transform toxins into nutrients to reduce the burden on kidneys. Originally, I had to wash my kidney in the shortest six months. As a result, the kidney continued to be used for four years, which also made Aunt Guo, who had strongly resisted kidney dialysis, slowly adjust her attitude and accept it, and cooperate with the doctor for kidney dialysis treatment.

Director Guo pointed out that patients with chronic kidney disease in stages 1 and 2 should not only find out whether they have potential diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, but also pay attention to low salt, less oil and proper calories in their diet. However, if entering the third stage, doctors will usually advise patients to eat a low-protein diet, and the daily intake of protein should not exceed 0.6 grams per kilogram of body weight.

Proper diet can delay the deterioration of renal function.

Because protein is an essential nutrient for human survival, it needs protein to grow blood and meat. However, patients with chronic kidney disease can't discharge the nitrogen-containing waste decomposed by protein smoothly due to impaired renal function, and eventually the metabolites become uremic toxins, which are harmful to the health.

There are also some patients who will have insufficient calories and even malnutrition after adopting a low-protein diet. In addition to simply adopting a low-protein diet to reduce the intake of protein and the renal load, if it can be combined with ketoamino acids, it is another strategy to delay the deterioration of renal function.
