We are sorry to hear about your new diagnosis. So glad our videos have been able to help you and we hope you find better care than you received in the hospital from a nephrologist and renal dietitian outside of the hospital!

Hi Doc and Michelle, Please dedicate a show talking about IgA Nephropathy and problems that follows. I have been diagnosed with that last February. Give it a thought about it. Thanks

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We just recorded an episode on IgA nephropathy that will be coming out soon!

[@AsapSingh]

@@PlantBasedKidneyHealth Thanks. Looking forward.

[@adriancretu2146]

@@PlantBasedKidneyHealthThank you as well and I also applaud your initiative for this amazing channel, the best resource out there for patients!

During cold and flu season are echinacea or oregano oil safe supplements?

[@VishalSingh-fs2kn]

Excellent very helpful information.Kindly some tips on Kidney Transplant Patient with often heart rhythm changes ?

[@CapricornSunSagRisingLibraMoon]

Thanks. Can you simplify the equation to figure out how many grams of protein for CKD.... Many people can't figure out how to convert kilograms into onces and/or grams based on their weight.

[@gunvormagarity-groves8005]

Could you please explain the issue with oxalates. Dare we still follow a plant based diet? Thank you for a great channel!

[@HikingUtah]

The issue is that the most common types of kidney stones are calcium oxalate stones. For people who suffer kidney stones, oxalates in the diet should be restricted. Unfortunately, meat doesn't have oxalates. Instead, all the health vegetables that we should be eating do.

[@gunvormagarity-groves8005]

Many of us are in deep trouble now! I have very high cholesterol and take statins. This is why I was on a plant-based diet. Now most plants are out, no idea how to feed myself any longer! 🧐

[@HikingUtah]

@@gunvormagarity-groves8005 It isn't clear what the issue is. Are you struggling with calcium oxalate kidney stones? I would say plant based is still a good plan for CKD. But if you have calcium oxalate kidney stones, you may need to research lower oxalate plant foods. I understand the sentiment though. Between controlling my weight, preventing my diabetes from returning, CKD, kidney stones (uric acid and calcium oxalate), and gout, it seems like there aren't many foods I can choose from!

[@AltheaWilliams-p9f]

Good evening. Is ginger good to drinking ?

[@florak1087]

You two are a great tag team! I had a kidney stone removed about 2 years ago and the stone was not calcium but uric acid. Does that tell me something about my diet? I now am having issues with primary hyperparathyroidism and just had my bone density done (though I can't understand the report and will see my naturopath next week) I am trying to fix the parathyroid issue naturally and will be doing a study with the naturopathic college I go to because I feel there is not much out there and not many people know why they have issues in their body that they can't explain. I don't want the bandaid effect of just removing the little benign blip that they found on the lower right side parathyroid nodule (whatever you call it). I am producing more calcium and my doctor put me on the NFH Osteo SAP calcium which will help remove the calcium from my body because there is the protein in it to help this function. Thanks for all you do. It is great getting other people's stories and trying to figure out this jigsaw puzzle of a body.😁

[@brooke1939]

How does one find a whole food plant based RD that takes my insurance

Can a CKd stage 4 That is mostly plant base have an ipoccasional meat ?

[@megaheat8838]

I am stage 4 CKD and will like to know is it safe to do detox?

[@TheMermaid63]

Thanks so much! You answered questions i had that i couldnt get yo rhe live show for. I get much more comprehensive info from this channel and Dadvice than I do from my nephrologist. Seriously! She needs to retire.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

So glad you are finding our channel helpful!!

[@jerrielusk291]

Do you have a website where you answer question or have info. Ver informative. Love this and has helped me a lot.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Hello! We both have our website links in the note section of all our videos! We do Q&A here on KZbin once/month (usually the third Tuesday of each month at 5 PM PST/8 PM EST).

Is it OK to take benfotiamine if you have kidney disease? I have been taking for diabetes & my blood tests show decline with kidñeys

[@Valsa2018]

Can’t take plant based proteins because of IBS. Please advise

[@isabel-tmob3465]

Thanks for all the information, would you consider talking about CQ10 ? ...thanks again...,,,🙏

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

So glad you're finding it helpful! We have an episode on CoQ10 you can check out on our channel. Under the Vitamin and Supplement Playlist.

[@Valsa2018]

I have IBS and can’t tolerate plant protein. Please advise

[@njayadev]

I have been diagnosed with adpkd stage 3b. I have been taking lisinopril (20 mg). Is it still a good medicine at this stage? I’ve read that it increases creat and decreases gfr which makes me nervous. Also wanted to say, this is a great resource and gives so much information and also hope. Thank you for your service.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We're so glad you are finding our channel a great resource! We actually have an episode on Lisinopril and kidney disease you can check out! Under our medication playlist.

[@nc2316]

Could you please provide a reliable list of the amount of protein in each vegetable, legumes, fruits . Looking on the internet it’s too confusing! I went to stage 3 a to 1 but my proteinuria is higher now so I am feeling lost with the vegan diet!

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Stay tuned. Michele is working on a very comprehensive E-Book/Guide with all of this info!

[@jcp9673]

Hello, my question for both of you is the following: What are the effects of ketoanalogues (KA) on chronic kidney disease (CKD)? Do they really help people with CKD? Thanks in advance! 🙏

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

In late stage CKD (4-5), ketoanalogues used in combination with a low or very low protein diet (under close supervision of renal dietitian and physician) and in metabolically stable patients, have been found to slow GFR decline, protect lean muscle mass, and delay initiation of dialysis.

[@roadhousepress]

What about allulose

[@roadhousepress]

This is supposed to help with weight loss and zero raise in blood glucose.

[@dominicmuia2960]

does prograf cause ILD after kidney transplant ? any other option for this medication?

[@Ed-qn7vx]

Please comment about the amount of oxalates in vegetables

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We have a whole episode on oxalates!

[@zacknovotny2217]

Hi! I have Multi Custic Dysplastic Kidney. About, 12 days ago I went pee late before bed and my urine was reddish brown. And I began to pee red and more noticeable bubbles for two days. Five days go by and urine was completely normal. Clearing straw colored no bubbles. 6 days ago again, peed blood for 2 days and had multiple bubbles. Had urine sample done at my urologist, they said nothing about the proteinuria. They just told me I had blood in my urine. I asked if I should go to ER they said no. I have no pain, had blood work done yesterday… cat scan with and without contrast tomorrow. See my UROLOGIST Friday. I’m 26, 6’0 185 great blood pressure and don’t have diabetes. Workout 5 days per week and eat decent. Btw, they did not say I had protienuria

[@zacknovotny2217]

I’m very scared…

[@zacknovotny2217]

My left kidney is cystic and my right is not.

[@davidcz381]

I'm getting that increasing protein is decreasing the function of the kidney? Is that fair to say?

[@normawalker6226]

What really are symptoms of damage kidney

[@Valsa2018]

So amino acid supplements cause scarring of kidneys in stage 3

[@Valsa2018]

I can’t have plant proteins because of IBS

[@Valsa2018]

My BP is 139/60. I feel dizzy

[@Over50andMe]

I set my alarm every 30 minutes to take at least a cup or slightly above half. I found this to keep me on track and less over flooding myself. Is this ok ?

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Setting alarm to remember to drink water consistently and spread out throughout the day is great.

[@meizhu1008]

Do i have kidney disease if my kidney function is normal but with invisible blood and high protein in urine ? I don’t have high blood pressure or diabetes

[@thomaspatterson518]

How does low dose aspirin effect your kidneys?

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We'll add that to our list of questions for the next Q&A or to make an episode on!

[@HikingUtah]

100% chocolate is very high in oxalates.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Check out our videos specifically on oxalates, we have a lot of info on here! Oxalates are often not a concern unless someone has high urine oxalate levels. Dark chocolate is higher in oxalates. But usually for the small portion that would be consumed it is not an extremely high oxalate amount. Everyone has different needs though and there are other options that are lower in oxalate of course!

[@normawalker6226]

What are the symptoms of kidney disease.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Unfortunately signs/symptoms of kidney disease usually don't manifest until late stages. But some common ones are swelling/edema, shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, lack of appetite, itchy skin. Getting blood and urine test is important for people at risk for CKD (Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Obesity, family history of CKD, over 65 years old) to catch CKD in earlier stages. We have an episode on this as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3yrhp2Gbb6Hack

[@naseermushtaq4968]

Plz tell me about borderline creatinine 1.2mdl age 25male Usg normal Urine exam normal Urinary protein normal

[@HikingUtah]

It's unusual to see this at 25. I wonder why this happened. My advice would be to plan to spend a lifetime eating healthier, avoiding red meat and moving close to a vegetarian diet in an effort to get your kidneys to last as long as possible.

[@normawalker6226]

If you have kidney disease what symptoms will be manifestd
