High Quality Protein Diet for Chronic Kidney Failure

Diet plays an important role in the treatment of chronic renal failure. Therefore, chronic renal failure patients should pay much attention to their diet in daily life. Especially, the patients should pay attention to low protein diet.

The patients should injest high quality protein with high nutritional value; that is to say, the protein intake should be fewer and better. Controlling the protein intake can block or slow down the process of chronic renal failure. High quality protein contains a large amount of essential amino acids, which will produce less nitrogenous substances after decomposition in the body. These proteins are represented by animal protein, such as chicken, fish, milk, lean, etc. Vegetable protein generally contains more non-essential chloride acid, which has low biological titer and after eaten, it can produce more nitrogenous substances; therefore, the patients should limit its intake. Especially some stable foods with high vegetable protein, such as corn, wheat flour, and dry beans, soy products, nuts, etc. , the patients with worsening renal function should more strictly control intake.
