INTRODUCTION

The renal diet is an effective way of addressing kidney or renal disease.  It is important to your kidney treatment process. Kidney disease occur when your kidneys are no longer working as they should. Renal diet places minimal demand on the kidney which can help to enhance its function.  Additionally, certain complications that come with kidney disease such as bone disease, high blood potassium, fluid overload and weight loss are considerably avoided, when on a renal diet. It also helps to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

It is a straightforward diet that is easy to understand, and easy to start. This is because renal diet is not about consuming specialty foods, but only about making reasonable adjustments to your daily meals that includes, fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains.Some of these changes includes; adding 1 vegetable to each meal, cutting meat consumption to 2 servings per day, substituting high-fat desserts with fresh fruits, having low fat milk instead of soda or sugary beverage and taking fat- free dressings and condiments with your vegetable meals.

The point is that eating correctly is essential for kidney health. People with kidney disease must monitor intakes of sodium, phosphorus and potassium especially, and this is encapsulated in the renal diet. Other dietary adjustments like limiting fluid intake and animal proteins may also be needed. To make this diet work for you, you’ll need to work closely with your renal dietician and try to live a healthy lifestyle as much as you can. You’ll be making changes to your diet, as well as exercising regularly, reducing alcohol intake, reducing stress and quitting smoking, where necessary. Do not worry, however, this cookbook contains plentiful information to guide you in your renal diet journey, as well as over a 100 delicious recipes that covers a rich and broad category. Follow me!

PART 1: KIDNEY AND KIDNEY DISEASES

The Kidney And Its Importance

Our kidneys are crucial to having to healthy body. We have 2 kidneys; each one is located on the left and right side of our spine, just below the rib cage. We cannot feel them by touch because they lie very deep within our abdomen. They are shaped like a bean and perform an important function of filtering unwanted waste and excess fluid from the blood through urination.

The kidneys also:

Help to maintain a balance of water, minerals and salts in the blood.

Produce hormones that affect blood and bones.

Help to regulate growth in children.

Help to regulate blood pressure.

Signals to  the body to produce red blood cells or control red blood cell production

Regulate electrolyte (salt) concentrations

Every day, we eat different kinds of food, and in different quantities. These food must be converted into energy. The process of continuously converting our food into energy often produces harmful waste materials. This process also causes a variation in the quantity of fluids, electrolytes and acids in our body. First, unwanted toxic by-products in the body must be flushed out, otherwise it could lead to death. Secondly, the levels of water, electrolyte and acids in the body must be regulated and rightly balanced for optimum health. The kidney performs these two key functions simultaneously.

A kidney is made up of millions of tiny units called nephrons. Nephrons consist of glomeruli and tubules.Glomeruli are clusters of small blood vessels that filter excess fluids and wastes, while tubules are minute tubes that collect the waste to form urine.Healthy kidneys filter about half a cup of blood every minute and about 200 quarts of blood every day to produce 1 -2 quarts of urine daily.  Urine is composed of waste and excess fluid.

Kidney disease occurs when the nephrons can no longer filter the blood because they are damaged. A failing kidney cannot also remove waste and toxins as it should. Therefore, if the kidneys are damaged, it means that toxins and waste will build up in the blood, which may result in puffy eyes, poor sleep, swollen ankles, and shortness of breath, among others. Kidney disease is a life threatening condition that must be attended to, once diagnosed.

Understanding Kidney Disease

It has been estimated that kidney disease affects 26 million adults in the United States alone.Globally, 1 in 10 people suffer from some form of kidney disease. Kidney disease also called renal disease, refers to damage on the kidneys that reduces its function. Kidney disease is silent. A large number of people who suffer from it do not know that they have it, until most of the kidney function is lost. The reason they remain largely unaware, is because the symptoms of the disease are not easily noticeable and it is only when about 70% of kidney function is lost that the symptoms become apparent. There are 2 main types of kidney disease; acute renal disease (ARF) and Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD). 

Acute Kidney Disease

This describes thesudden deterioration of kidney function. It is also known as Acute Renal Failure (ARF) or Acute Renal Injury (ARI).  It usually occurs in a matter of hours or days, and mostly affects people who are already very sick in the hospital. It must be treated right away, otherwise it might progress to a life- threatening condition. Some of the time, however, acute kidney failure will get better, but may progress to CKD if the patient had suffer from kidney problems before. Generally, acute renal failure can occur as a result of:

Sudden reduction of blood circulation to the kidneys which could be caused by surgeries, X-ray dyes or accidents.

Direct injury to the kidneys.

Damage from certain drugs.

Enlarged prostrate that can obstructs urine flow.

Your body experiencing shockduring sepsis, an infection

Pregnancy complications, such pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.

Autoimmune diseases. An attack of the immune system can cause ARI.

––––––––

Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD)

This describes a slow and progressive deterioration of kidney function. It occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to clean toxins and waste product from the blood, and perform their functions to full capacity. Since CKD is progressive, an early detection can impede its progress and help your kidneys to perform better.  Medicines, diet and lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and losing weight, can help to make this possible.

Chronic Kidney Disease progresses through 5 stages. Stages 1 and 2 occur only in people with abnormal kidneys such as being born with just one kidney or having protein in their kidneys. Most people realize they have CKD at the last stages of 3, 4, or 5.

Most CKD are caused by high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. High blood pressure is a risk health factor for the kidneys because it can raise the pressure on the glomeruli. Eventually, the elevated pressure damages these tiny blood vessels (glomeruli) and kidney function begins to deteriorate. Diabetes is another major cause of chronic kidney disease. It causes high blood sugar which can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys after a period of time. When this happens, the kidneys will be unable to filter the blood properly and once your body is packed with toxins and waste, Kidney failure will occur. Kidney diseases also cause heart diseases and strokes. This is why it is imperative that you monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar to ensure optimal health.

Chronic kidney disease can also be genetic. You are more prone to having it, if it runs in your family. Generally, chronic kidney disease is more prevalent in certain groups, such as African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native Americans and Native Hawaiians.

Other health conditions that can cause chronic kidney disease includes:

Recurrent kidney infections.

Tumors or cancer in the kidneys.

Lupus – An immune system attack on the kidneys and brain.

Glomerulonephritis, inflammation within the kidneys.

Kidneys can deteriorate to a point where it can no longer carry out its function effectively. In this situation, the patient would have to undergo dialysis, an artificial kidney treatment. Dialysis flushes out extra waste and fluids from the blood and provide temporary reprieve. Nevertheless, it cannot cure renal failure. A kidney transplant, however can. But this depends on the circumstances surrounding the patient’s condition.

Symptoms& DiagnosisOf Kidney Disease

Many symptoms of kidney disease are not noticeable. Most people experience the many non- specific symptoms that come with kidney disease. These include fatigue, nausea, poor concentration, muscle cramps, insomnia and poor appetite. However, other kidney disease symptoms like swollen ankles, anemia, hyperkalemia (sudden increase in potassium levels) and puffiness around the eyes are strong indications that a kidney disease is progressing into kidney failure.

Chronic kidney disease generally worsens over time if the underlying medical condition is not identified and treated. It is not possible to restore a kidney to its full capacity once it has been damaged. When kidney diseases are identified at its early stages, it can be cured with treatments. A routinecheck of your blood and urine can be helpful in detecting kidney disease.  It is easier for your CKD to be treated once the cause is known. Your doctor can, in some cases, carry out some blood or imaging tests to determine the cause.  In other cases, your doctor will require a biopsy of a small tissue sample.

The best measure of kidney function is Glomerular filtration rate (GFR).  It is used to determinethe stage of kidney disease of an individual. Factors such as the person’s age, gender, race and serum creatinine (a waste product from muscle activity) are used to calculate the GFR. The blood test ordered by the doctor will ascertain the serum creatinine level. Normal healthy kidneys will remove creatinine from the blood but a failing kidney will not. Therefore, once the blood test shows a rise in the creatinine levels, it indicates a failing kidney.

Here are the5 stages of CKD (chronic kidney disease) and their GFR:

Stage 1 CKD–This is a normal or high and GFR is greater than 90 (GFR >90 mL/min)

Stage 5 CKD -This is End Stage and it’s (GFR lessthan (<) 15 mL/min)
