Diet for kidney disease – protein (1)

  1, the dangers of high protein High protein will lead to increased glomerular filtration, increased renal metabolic waste, resulting in an increased burden on the kidneys, leading to proteinuria, loss of kidney units, eventually leading to kidney failure; while a simple low protein diet will have the risk of causing malnutrition.  2.How should I eat protein?  Our body needs the main source of protein and diet. Dietary protein is divided into plant-based protein and animal-based protein.  High quality protein: animal protein (such as fish, meat, eggs, milk, seafood, etc.) soybean products.  Non-quality protein: plant-based protein (such as rice, vegetables, fruits, etc.) Limiting protein intake does not mean that you cannot eat foods with high protein content, but that you should consume the amount of protein recommended by your doctor, and that it should be mainly high-quality protein, accounting for 50%-70% of total protein intake, with the rest being non-quality protein. Non-quality protein foods provide other nutrients such as micronutrients, dietary fiber, etc.  For pre-dialysis kidney disease patients, the recommended daily protein intake is 0.6-0.8g/Kg (body weight), e.g. 70kg body weight, protein intake is 42-56g/day, about one or two.
