Chronic Kidney Disease Symptoms and Diet

Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic kidney failure, describes the gradual loss of kidney function. Your kidneys filter wastes and excess fluids from your blood, which are then excreted in your urine. When chronic kidney disease reaches an advanced stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes can build up in your body.
In the early stages of chronic kidney disease, you may have few signs or symptoms. Chronic kidney disease may not become apparent until your kidney function is significantly impaired.
Symptoms may start to become present in CKD:
Fatigue
Fluid retention, swelling (edema) of extremities and shortness of breath:
Urination changes (foamy; dark orange, brown, tea-colored or red if it contains blood; and urinating more or less than normal)
Kidney pain felt in their back
Sleep problemsdue to muscle cramps or restless legs
Diet and CKD
For CKD patient, a healthy diet is likely to consist of:
Eating high-quality protein and potassium (if blood levels are above normal)
Consuming a some grains, fruits and vegetables (potassium and phosphorus are at normal levels)
Limiting phosphorus to help PTH levels remain normal, prevent bone disease and even preserve existing kidney function
Lowering calcium consumption
Cutting back carbohydrates for those with diabetes
Decreasing saturated fats to help lower cholesterol
Lowering sodium for people with high blood pressure or fluid retention by cutting out processed and pre-packaged foods
Limiting calcium if blood levels are too high
Taking water soluble vitamins such as C (100 mg per day) and B complex, or completely avoiding over-the-counter dietary supplements (unless approved by the nephrologist)

It’s helpful to work with a registered renal dietitian because as the stages of CKD change, so will the diet.

Diabetes and kidney disease stage 5

Diabetes happens when your body does not make enough insulin or cannot use insulin properly. Insulin is a hormone. It controls how much sugar is in your blood. A high level of sugar in your blood can cause damage to the very small blood vessels in your kidneys. Over time, this can lead to kidney disease and kidney failure.

Healthy kidneys do many important jobs. They filter your blood, keep fluids in balance, and make hormones that help your body control blood pressure, have healthy bones, and make red blood cells. If you have kidney failure, it means your kidneys have stopped working well enough to do these important jobs and keep you alive. As a result:

Harmful wastes build up in your body

Your blood pressure may rise

Your body may hold too much fluid

Your body cannot make enough red blood cells

When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys. There is no cure for kidney failure. A person with kidney failure needs treatment to live.

Can a person with diabetes have a kidney transplant?

Yes. If you get a new kidney, you may need a higher dose of insulin or hypoglycemic pills (to lower blood sugar level). This is because:

You will be eating more

Your new kidney will break down insulin better than your injured one

You will be using medicines to keep your body from rejecting your new kidney and these may react less well to the insulin.

If your transplanted kidney loses function, dialysis treatment can be started and you can wait for a new kidney.
