Question 1

are low level kidney diseases and high protein diets connected?

Accepted Answer

See below: I am unclear about your question, but if you mean does high protein diet cause quicker deterioration of kidney function, then the answer is potentially yes.

Question 2

since i have kidney disease should i stop eating high protein foods?

Accepted Answer

Ask your kidney doc: High protein diet can cause the kidney to "work" more as it has to process the protein waste.This may lead to faster progression of loss of function.However the downside of this diet may lead to low albumin/protein level in your blood and this can cause more negative consequences to your body. Most doctors recommend a moderate protein restriction if Albumin levels are normal.

Question 3

does too much of protein intake cause kidney disease in healthy people?

Accepted Answer

: People who eat very high protein diets have an increased risk of kidney stones. Also a high protein diet which has lots of red meat &amp; higher amounts of saturated fat might lead to an increased risk of heart disease &amp; colon cancer. However, keep in mind protein is vital for life as a building block of every human cell.  So you should consume protein regularly in moderation. I wish you well!

Question 4

if kidney disease present.....should i avoid protein bars,,,peanut butter etc?

Accepted Answer

can't say: Do you have chronic kidney disease? What type? Your doctor can tell you if  high -protein intake would aggravate your particular condition.

Question 5

kidney disease shows protein 100mg/dl and rbc++ in u/a, occurs due to prostatitis obstruction in flow, is kidney disease is recoverable or not? thanks

Accepted Answer

It should be: recoverable once the prostatitis resolves.

Question 6

i've have stage 3c kidney disease (egfr 37). i find information online confusing about nutrition and it is impossible to get an appt. with one in my area. can you please tell me how many ounces of protein/day is okay for me at 220 pounds?

Accepted Answer

: Hopefully you are under care of a nephrologist and she/he should be able to advise you about the diet taking into consideration  his findings including the labs. The rest of us can only guess. . Do not trust online information as it it is confusing and mostly wrong. Good luck

Question 7

what is protein in urine mean if kidney disease?

Accepted Answer

Many causes.: Renal disease from causes like diabetes, sle, and others accounts for the major reasons for protein in the urine.  Protein should not be in the urine.  The kidney basement membrane is supposed to keep it out.  If it isn't intact, protein leaks out.  In burns, accidents, etc., things like myoglobin leak out, and in poststrep. Glomerulonephritis, anythhing can leak out, but these resolve with rx..

Question 8

is there any urine protein home test. so that i can check any kidney disease at home?

Accepted Answer

Urine protein: There are dipsticks that will detect protein in your urine. It may be easier, and cheaper, to go to a physician's office (p) and have the p do a urine analysis there to spare you the expense of buying a bottle of dipsticks. If the urine is positive for protein, you can start working up the cause at that time. If negative for protein, you need do nothing. Good luck.

Question 9

dipstick shows 15 mg(?) of protein in my every morning urine test, but no trace found during days or nights. is this sign of kidney disease or damage?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: This sounds like positional proteinuria which is not equivalent with kidney failure. They are likely checking other things with bloodworm that will reflect kidney function too.

Question 10

my blood parameters are within normal (creatinine is 0.84) range but there is protein in my urine.
is it a sign of stage one kidney disease?

Accepted Answer

Proteinuria: The observed proteinuria should be verified and further quantified. If truly present, it does represent a marker of kidney disease. Furthermore, if your serum creatinine is stable around the value provided, you would indeed have CKD stage 1. More importantly however, you should see a nephrologist as causes of proteinuria vary from benign to serious.
