As part of the medical treatment for your kidneys, you may have been advised to follow a low protein diet. Protein in the food we eat is converted by the liver into urea and other toxins which are normally removed from the body in the urine. These substances accumulate if the kidneys are damaged.
In the early stages of kidney damage, a high protein intake may cause the kidneys to overwork - hyperfiltration - leading to damage of the kidney filters. In the later stages, the build up of toxins can contribute to symptoms of kidney failure such as nausea, tiredness, easy bruising and bleeding. A reduction in dietary protein can help to reduce early kidney damage in some cases and the symptoms associated with more severe kidney failure. There are other very important factors which can speed up kidney damage. High blood pressure, smoking, high blood cholesterol and high blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, are amongst these.
