Kidney diet - dialysis patients
Overview Food Sources Recommendations Side Effects Definition:
This article describes the diet necessary in patients with end-stage renal disease on either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. The diet is usually high in protein and low-sodium, low-potassium, and low-phosphorus. Fluid intake is also restricted.
Alternative Names: End Stage Renal disease - diet; Hemodialysis - diet; Peritoneal Dialysis - diet
Function: The purpose of this diet is to try and maintain a balance of electrolytes, minerals, and fluid in patients on dialysis. The special diet is important because dialysis alone does not effectively eliminate ALL waste products. These waste products can also accumulate between dialysis treatments. Most dialysis patients urinate very little or not at all, and therefore fluid restriction between treatments is very important. Without urination, fluid will accumulate and result in volume overload with excess fluid in the heart, lungs and ankles. Patients on dialysis need a high protein intake to maintain adequate nutrition. Patients can become malnourished on dialysis and poor nutrition can often predict poor outcomes.

Diet for Nephrotic Syndrome
A well-planned diet can replace lost protein and ensure efficient utilization of ingested proteins through provision of adequate calories. Dietary changes can also help control hypertension, edema, and hyperlipidemia, and slow the progression of renal disease. Protein: High-protein diets are not recommended as they may encourage damage to the nephrons, leading to a progression of renal insufficiency. Since albumin losses in nephrotic patients are due to increased catabolism, rather than a reduction in protein synthesis, low-protein diets, which decrease catabolism, may be more beneficial.

Diet for people with chronic kidney disease
Definition
A low-protein diet is used in people with abnormal kidney function to prevent worsening of their kidney disease . The diet is often low in sodium and potassium as well. For some people on this diet, fluid restriction is also necessary. And if you have diabetes along with kidney disease, a low-carbohydrate diet may be necessary.
Alternative Names
Renal disease - diet; Kidney disease - diet
Function
This special diet is very helpful because it decreases the stress on the kidney.
  • Protein is restricted to decrease the protein load on the kidney and slow down the progression of kidney disease. Sodium may be restricted to improve blood pressure control and to avoid fluid accumulation. Potassium is restricted if it is not excreted effectively and levels in the blood are high. When you have too much potassium in your blood, dangerous heart rhythms may result.
The controlled amounts of each of these nutrients are based on the blood levels of potassium, sodium, protein (measured as total protein and albumin), and urea (a waste product normally excreted in the urine). Fluid is only restricted if you accumulate excessive amounts in your body.

  • Introduction Breeds Affected by Juvenile Renal Disease Symptoms and Diagnosis Treatment Heritability Eliminating JRD Current Research References
Introduction
In January of 1990, I had my twenty-one month old Standard Poodle puppy put down. She was one of three puppies in a litter of eleven to die of Juvenile Renal Disease (JRD). All three of the puppies with the disease appeared healthy and grew normally until clinical signs appeared at ten months in one, and twenty months in the other two. She died two weeks after being diagnosed. The disease is devastating. The prognosis is dismal. Nobody expects to lose a puppy of that age. I have been collecting information since her death on the disease that killed her.
Breeds Affected by Juvenile Renal Disease
Despite the fact that several articles on Juvenile Renal Disease and Familial Renal Disease were published in veterinary journals in the 1970s, and many others have been published since that time on JRD in Dobermans Pincers, Alaskan Malamutes, Norwegian Elkhounds, Samoyeds, Standard Poodles, and Golden Retrievers, most individual cases of JRD are treated by owners and veterinarians as isolated occurrences rather than as the manifestation of a genetic disease. The type of renal disease, also called Renal Dysplasia, from which my puppy died, is also seen in Airedale Terriers, Bedlington Terriers, Boxers, Bulldogs, Chow Chows, Great Danes, Great Pyrenees, Irish Wolfhounds, Keeshonds, King Charles Spaniels, Miniature Schnauzers, Old English Sheepdogs, Swedish Foxhounds, Shih Tzus, Lhasa Apsos, Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, Portuguese Water Dogs, and Yorkshire Terriers. It is just recently being seen in Golden Retrievers, a breed in which it had not before been recognized.

Effects of Dietary Protein on Renal Disease
Ping H. Wang, MD Andrew S. Levey, MD ; and Joseph Lau, MD
IN RESPONSE Our paper included two related but separate meta-analyses. The first analysis focused on nondiabetic renal disease and the second was limited to diabetic renal disease. We clearly stated that the methods and robustness of the results differed for the two meta-analyses. The meta-analysis of nondiabetic renal disease included only randomized, controlled trials and compared the proportion of patients who developed renal failure or died. We concluded that the result was robust and indicated no heterogeneity among studies. Dr. Parving apparently agrees. However, Shah and colleagues suggest that the range in the level of renal function at baseline might compromise the relevance of the results. We strongly disagree.

Effects of Dietary Protein on Renal Disease
Hans-Henrik Parving, MD
To the Editor: Pedrini and colleagues recently did a meta-analysis of the effect of dietary protein restriction on the progression of diabetic and nondiabetic renal disease. They concluded that "dietary protein restriction effectively slows the progression of both diabetic and nondiabetic renal diseases." The authors accepted different designs (randomized, controlled studies for nondiabetic renal disease and nonrandomized crossover studies for two of five analyses of diabetic renal disease) and trial end points (renal failure or death for nondiabetic renal disease, and urinary albumin level or a decline in glomerular filtration rate or creatinine clearance for diabetic renal disease).

Four to eight new cases of end-stage renal disease per one million children per year are diagnosed. Most of these children will require dialysis and eventually require a kidney transplant.[2] In children, the primary goal of treatment is to promote adequate growth and to slow progression of disease. A dietary pattern that is adequate in calories, moderate in protein [restricted to Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) levels] and slightly modified in vitamins and minerals (with supplementation only as indicated by biochemical aberrations) ensures optimal growth, development and quality of life while controlling the disease.

        End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
        What is renal failure?
        Renal failure refers to temporary or permanent damage to the kidneys that results in loss of normal kidney function. There are two different types of renal failure - acute and chronic. Acute renal failure has an abrupt onset and is potentially reversible. Chronic failure progresses slowly over at least three months and can lead to permanent renal failure. The causes, symptoms, treatments, and outcomes of acute and chronic are different. Conditions that may lead to acute or chronic renal failure may include, but are not limited to, the following:

End Stage Renal Disease
Your kidneys are crucial to your health. They filter out waste products from your blood, remove excess fluids and help balance certain chemicals in your body. (Read about " Kidney Disease ") When they are damaged by disease or injury, they lose the ability to do their job. Unfortunately kidneys can not heal themselves. Any damage is usually irreversible. We are lucky however, because we have more kidney power than we need. Most people are born with two kidneys, but can function easily with just one. However, if you lose 85 to 90 percent of your kidney function, you enter what is called end stage renal disease (ESRD). At that point you need help. There are only two choices according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), dialysis and transplantation. Causes of chronic kidney failure When the kidneys fail, it can be temporary (acute) or permanent (chronic). The number one cause of chronic kidney failure or end stage renal disease (ESRD), according to NIDDK, is diabetes. (Read about " Diabetes " "

Introduction In January of 1990, I had my twenty one month old Standard Poodle puppy euthanised. She was one of three puppies in a litter of eleven to die of Juvenile Renal Disease (JRD). All three of the puppies with the disease appeared healthy, and grew normally until clinical signs appeared at ten months in one, and twenty months in the other two. She died two weeks after being diagnosed. The disease is devastating. The prognosis is dismal. Nobody expects to lose a puppy of that age. Breeds Affected by Juvenile Renal Disease Symptoms Early symptoms of Juvenile Renal Disease include drinking copious amounts of water, something that might not be readily apparent in a house with more than one dog, frequent urination, and dilute urine which has little color or odor. Some affected puppies leak urine, many do not. Often a puppy owner's earliest complaint is about the difficulty of housebreaking a puppy later discovered to have JRD. The volume of water consumed, and, in some puppies,leakage of urine can make housebreaking a formidable task. As the disease progresses, vomiting, weight loss, anorexia, lethargy, and muscle weakness are seen. There is sometimes a chemical odor to the breath as a result of metabolic waste not being excreted by the kidneys. In breeds in which juvenile renal diseases are seen, symptoms may be noted as early as a few weeks after birth; and affected puppies are almost without exception symptomatic before two years of age. Some puppies fail to thrive: most grow normally until symptoms appear. Puppies with renal dysplasia may appear clinically normal for extended periods of time before developing signs of chronic renal failure. The rate at which renal dysplasia progresses to overt renal failure depends on the severity of the initial renal lesions. Dogs commonly do not exhibit clinical signs of renal failure until less than 25% of renal function remains. A dog with renal dysplasia affecting only one kidney may be symptom free, and the dog may live a normal lifetime.

Juvenile Renal Disease in Standard Poodles
I. Definition and Description In affected standard poodles, histological findings include "cystic glomerular atrophy and large numbers of immature ("fetal") glomeruli are observed, especially in dogs at 3 to 4 months of age. Secondary tubular changes consist of focal to diffuse tubular dilatation and atrophy as well as basement membrane mineralization. The cortical interstitium contains segmental areas of fibrosis, whereas more diffuse lesions occur in the medulla. Interstitial infiltrates of mononuclear cells are minimal in younger dogs and more severe in older dogs." (2) "Hypoplastic kidneys appear as miniature replicas of normal kidneys composed of reduced numbers of histologically normal nephrons". (1) There are a number of hereditary nephropathies that cause renal failure in young dogs. The genetic nature of these diseases makes accurate diagnosis imperative so that affected animals are not bred. Usually, in standard poodles the disease is discovered before breeding age, but diagnosing a puppy affected with JRD could prevent both the sire and dam from being bred again. In standard poodles with JRD, symptoms can be noted as early as a few weeks after birth; and affected puppies are almost without exception symptomatic before two years of age. Some puppies are seen because of a failure to thrive: most grow normally until symptoms appear. Puppies with renal dysplasia may appear clinically normal for extended periods of time before developing signs of chronic renal failure. The rate at which renal dysplasia progresses to overt renal failure depends on the severity of initial renal lesions and factors resulting in progressive loss of renal functional mass. (1) Larry Cowgill, DVM, (University of California, Davis), told me that many puppies born with renal dysplasia do better than dogs who acquire kidney disease later in life. He said that these puppies are able to plateau until a small insult occurs, and then they decompensate.

Protein restriction for diabetic renal disease (Cochrane Review)
Waugh NR, Robertson AM ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 26 August 1997. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Diabetic renal disease (nephropathy) is a leading cause of end-stage renal failure. Objectives: To determine whether protein restriction slows or prevents progression of diabetic nephropathy towards renal failure. Search strategy: Computerised databases Medline (1976-1996) and Embase (1974-1996) were searched using the search terms diabetes mellitus, diabetic nephropathy, dietary proteins, diet, protein restricted and uremia. Recent issues of selected journals (Diabetic Medicine, Diabetologia, Diabetes Care, Kidney International, Nephrology Dialysis and Transplantation) were handsearched for papers not yet in the computerised databases. Reference lists of papers were also checked. Selection criteria: This review was not limited to randomised controlled trials. All trials involving people with insulin-dependent diabetes following a lower protein diet for at least four months were considered since the straight line nature of progression as reflected by glomerular filtration rate means that patients can act as their own controls in a before and after comparison.
