Urine protein is a common manifestation of kidney disease. If you have massive proteinuria, it indicates that your kidneys are damaged. What can help you supplement the lost protein with CKD?

Why you have urine protein?

The most common urine protein is glomerular proteinuria. It results from the increased permeability of glomerular filtration membrane to plasma protein. Due to renal ischemia, poison and immune disorder, filtration membrane is damaged or the charge barrier becomes weakened, leading to the increase of permeability.

Simply speaking, the glomeruli are like sieves. In the beginning, they can only filter the little material. But with time going, the holes on the sieve will become bigger so that big materials spill out as well.

How to supplement the lost protein?

-Medication

First of all, you should repair kidney damage to control protein leakage. The key is to find out where the kidneys are damaged, how severely the kidneys are damaged and what causes kidney damage. In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, we use Chinese medicine to remove toxins in blood and improve renal ischemia and anoxia, and then repair kidney damage. In western medicine, there are steroids such as prednisone and immunosuppressants such as prograf to reduce protein leakage.

-Food

It is usually advisable to follow a low protein diet to prevent worsening proteinuria. And high quality protein is recommended. For example,

*Meat, including lean meat, poultry without skin, beef, etc. They can provide all the essential amino acids for your body.

*Egg white. It can be absorbed by our body completely.

*Fish. It is easy to be absorbed.

The daily protein consumption is about 1g/kg per day plus the lost protein.

In general, one egg contains 6g protein. About 200ml milk contains 6g protein. And 50g lean meat contains 8g protein. Chicken contains more protein than lean meat. You can choose them according to your condition.
