Kidney disease is diagnosed in stages, and each stage has its own dietary needs. As kidney disease progresses in stages, the body becomes unable to assimilate protein properly, so the intake of protein is reduced. Stage Five, the final stage, will require dialysis and another change in diet. It is necessary to work with a dietician to maintain the best possible health. Not only will the body’s requirement for protein change, but the intake of sodium, potassium and phosphorous will have to be restricted. The patient will also have to drink less.
End stage renal disease can cause an imbalance of electrolytes, minerals and fluids, which the new diet is meant to counteract. Kidneys that are functioning properly process literally gallons of blood every day, removing waste products from the blood. These waste products are sent to the bladder to be expelled as urine. Urine also contains any excess fluid that has built up inside the body.
Kidneys that do not function correctly will result in a backup of fluid inside the body, causing problems in a number of organs, like the heart and lungs, and in other places that fluids tend to collect, like the feet and ankles. Dialysis patients may not urinate at all or only urinate very little. Any urine that is eliminated from the body tends to be in a very concentrated form, which increases the chance of a urinary tract infection. This is why dialysis patients are often restricted in their fluid intake. These excess fluids can build up around the heart, making heartbeats more difficult. They can collect around the lungs, which can result in pneumonia and other respiratory problems. Too much fluid in the bloodstream can cause an electrolyte imbalance, which can interfere with the rhythm of the heart and cause impaired brain function.
A dialysis patient will have the levels of certain substances checked before the session. Albumin, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium and urea are all measured at the beginning, and then once more at the end. This enables a nutritionist to change the patient’s diet to whatever will be most beneficial. The amount of fluids allowed will also be changed based on the urinary output and how much water weight is gained between each dialysis session.
The early stages of kidney disease can be slowed by consuming less protein. When the disease progresses to the stage that dialysis is necessary, more protein will be required. There are two types of dialysis, and which one a patient will receive depends upon the type of kidney disease and other health conditions that the patient may suffer. Hemo-dialysis and peritoneal dialysis are the two kinds of dialysis – the latter will require more protein, because of the amount of protein that is discarded after each treatment.
It is not easy to get the required amount of protein. There are complications which are compounded by the dialysis process. Most kidney patients have more than just kidney disease to worry about. Kidney patients often have a low appetite and may not feel like eating in general. These are reasons why good nutrition is so vitally important. A protein supplement may even be necessary to supply this very important macronutrient in the right amounts.
High blood pressure and heart disease can either cause or be caused by kidney disease. No matter which came first, this means that a low-fat diet is important to a kidney disease patient. The risk to the heart grows as the disease progresses, which makes the right diet important for many different reasons.
Nutrition is a big concern for kidney disease patients, especially those undergoing dialysis. A good diet will take care of many of the necessary vitamins and minerals, but there are some of these that a dialysis diet does not supply in sufficient measure. Others are lost during treatment. A supplement will probably be necessary.
Life with Kidney Disease and Dialysis
Many people contract kidney disease through no real fault of their own. It is not something that happens only to old people – people can struggle with this disease their whole lives. A history of high blood pressure may actually be developing chronic kidney disease. A visit to a nephrologist can easily confirm the condition of your kidneys. A diagnosis of kidney disease will mean a treatment plan, including a visit to a nutritionist to learn about the condition and devise a good diet to slow the progression of the disease.
The diet will likely be low-fat, and if the disease is in its early stages, you will be told that your diet should also be low in protein. You will also have to watch your electrolytes and reduce the amount of fluids your drink each day. It will be your responsibility to follow directions and keep as healthy as possible. You should be especially careful if you have a family history of heart or kidney disease. Unfortunately, even the strictest adherence to diet and health may not stop the progression of kidney disease, though it may slow it. Dialysis may eventually become necessary. At this point, your diet will be altered again because your need for protein will go up radically. You will probably have to take a number of water-soluble vitamins to supplement your diet and keep your health and strength as high as possible.
It can take five hours or more for each session of dialysis every day and there will be days that you don’t feel especially well. Protein supplements will probably be a practical requirement so that you get the proper amount of nutrients. A good way to get the protein that you need is Profect, a liquid protein shot from Protica, which provides 25 grams of protein in every tiny (less than three fluid ounces) serving. There is a good range of flavors available, so drinking Protica never has to be the same old, same old. Profect also does not have to be refrigerated, which means that you can keep them in your car or purse, or somewhere convenient, while you are getting your treatment.

Everyone knows that good nutrition is a very important concept and that all three macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat) must be balanced in the diet for the best possible health. But does one of these nutrients mean more to the overall health of the body? Should you really be eating more of one nutrient than another? And, if you should, what is the best way to get that nutrient in your diet for the correct amount and best health?
Nutrients in the Right Amounts for Your Own Needs
Everybody has different physical needs, based on their health, their body composition and the medications that they are taking. For certain health conditions, especially metabolic disorders, a doctor and/or nutritionist will discuss the exact diet that you should be following. However, even for those who do not have any kind of condition, the need for proper nutrition is still important.
In addition to considering health, it is important to keep in mind that body size and activity level will also help determine how much food is needed for best health, strength and performance. A six-foot-tall body building man will need more calories and more of most nutrients as well than a five-foot-tall woman who is only moderately active. They may both need more of these nutrients than an inactive person who is either male or female. All of these factors (height, weight, activity level and health) must be considered before the right amounts of foods and nutrients can be determined.
The first number that be concerned with is your calorie count. This will determine the actual amount of food that you need to make sure that you are maintaining your weight if you are at a healthy weight or losing weight if you are overweight. Do not think you have to drastically reduce your calories to manage to lose this weight. It only takes a small reduction of calorie intake per day plus an increase in activity to have a slow, steady and healthy weight loss.
What Protein Can Really Do
While it is important to get the right amount of each nutrient in your diet, you should know that protein plays a role in every cell and every function of the human body. Proteins themselves are digested by the body through a series of involved functions and then changed into separated amino acids. From these amino acids, the body uses chemical reactions to create new amino acids, hormones and enzymes. The body has set needs for proteins each day, needing new supplies of amino acids every day because like other nutrients, they are not stored by the body. If the body does not get the protein that it needs in the right amount, it will send out strong signals that may cause overeating and weight gain.
Protein plays a role in the blood itself, creating red blood cells that are made of protein. In addition, protein plays a role in maintaining blood pressure as well as the ph balance of the blood. Because antibodies are also made of proteins, they play a role in the immune system, too.
Proteins play a major role in the building of lean muscle mass, connective tissue, bone matrix and maintaining the fluid balance to prevent dehydration and other problems.

Protein Sources
All protein, in any form, comes from either plant or animal sources. All animal sources of protein are complete, meaning that they have all of the needed amino acids while nearly all of the plant protein sources are lacking one or the other of these amino acids. Soy protein is the exception to this rule and does have all the amino acids. Soy comes in a number of different forms and can be beneficial for a number of health conditions.
Everybody knows that meats are protein sources, but they may not realize that there are better choices. For example, people can get their protein from plants as well as in supplement forms. Whether you are eating foods to lose weight or not, your choices in protein should be as lean as possible, reducing the risk of heart disease and other chronic health conditions.
In addition to protein from foods like meats, fish, dairy and plants, getting proteins from supplements can be beneficial, especially to those who spend most of their day on the run.
Protein Supplements
Most people automatically think of powdered protein supplements that come in the huge containers when they hear protein supplement. While those are certainly a viable option, they are by no means the only choice. There are shakes, enhanced waters, puddings and very small protein shots that only take a few seconds to consume. One of these, Profect from Protica, is less than three fluid ounces in size but has 25 grams of protein-more than other protein supplements that are twice as big.
Good Nutrition for Every Body: A Case Study
Evelyn and her husband Rick are both in fairly good health, but they are not getting around to eating meals the way they should each day. Because they are very busy, they either grab food from fast food drive through windows or skip meals altogether. However, the doctor suggests that both of them try to reduce the amount of fatty, fried foods in their diet and to slightly increase their protein intake. They agree to use a Profect shot while they are out and about, which while small and quick to consume, gives them both a good amount of protein as well as helping them to stay full for longer, eliminating the need to eat junk that can harm their health. Because Profect is heat stable, they can leave the shots in the car without worry that it will be adversely affected.
