How to Delay Your Kidney Damage

For people with kidney failure, will be get two difficult choices, hemodialysis (dialysis) and kidney transplantation. To prevent more kidney damages, kidney and maintain as long as possible, most patients chose hemodialysis. Because the transplantation other than expensive, also not easy to get a donors kidney.
The kidneys function to remove residual substances of protein metabolism, such as urea, uric acid, creatinine, and sulfate. In the kidney there are millions of nephrons (functioning as a filter), to filtering the blood, removing toxic substances, reabsorb useful substances for the body, regulating the amount of water and electrolytes the body, as well as the the creation of hormones.
When the kidney is compromised, poisons accumulate in the body resulting in poisoning itself (autointoxifikasi uremia / acid poisoning). There are many factors of kidney failure, including chronic inflammation of the kidneys, urinary tract infection, polycystic kidney (derivatives), and others. Hypertension itself can be a cause or a result of kidney impairment.
They who had kidney problems is recommended to restrict protein intake. The remaining the metabolism of protein will be aggravate the kidney, causing excessive filtering, so it can worsen kidney conditions. No matter how the body still needs protein for the the creation of of red blood cell antibodies and cells, repair damaged tissue. Patients with kidney impairment is recommended for low-protein diet with keto acids. This diet can reduce the workload of kidney, when membuangn toxic metabolites from protein. Ketoanalog of keto acids containing amino acids. Ketoanalog is a free amino acid nitrogen.
The amino acids protein is the raw material. Amino acids were burned in the body and produce nitrogen in the form of urea, which must be removed by the kidneys. It still will burden kidney. Keto acid formed can bind nitrogen from the breakdown of amino acids, resulting in the recycling process of nitrogen in the body. That means reducing the production of urea, so it can reduce kidney function.
The provision of keto acids can also satisfy nutritional needs required by the body. Keto acids can be given to patients with kidney failure who are not ready or not comfortable doing dialysis. In people who do not want to undergo dialysis, keto acids given as supplements, to avoid the addition of urea. Research shows a diet low in protein and keto acids, people with kidney failure can survive no dialysis for 353 days
