The Truth About a Low Protein Diet: Are They Risky for Kidney Patients? | Ft. Dr. Rosansky

[@michaelofcvan6579]

James Fabin, I have been studying your's and Dr Rosansky's books and the Lee Hull book for forty eight days. I have lost more than ten pounds. My eGFR is rising. I have a renal dietitian and a supportive Nurse Practitioner. I am in the process of finding a new nephrologist. My old nephrologist wanted me on dyalisis at eGFR 15. I am feeling better gradually every day. I am 76 and I am looking forward to my eighties. I love the new food. God bless you and Dr Rosansky.

[@DADVICETV]

Keep up the great work! You are doing amazing!

[@louisedavidson848]

I'm about to lose my left kidney and bladder. Which do u think gave u the better info. I'm ur age and don't need to lose weight it is the information I need to make my one kidney left stronger. I'm at stage 4 now. Thx in advance.

[@susanpalmer8634]

Thank you both! Dr. Ro you give of your time for free to us! You are so appreciated 😊 love your book!! 😁

[@scottieshaver9702]

Hi Doctor and James...I have 3a CKD. Love to hear what you both have to say. Thank you both!

[@kropchik]

Dear James and Dr. Rosansky, you are very precious! So what does taking "a lot of protein" mean in case of sever muscle loss ( a part of weight workout)? Thanks!

[@barbroberts3153]

Dr. Rosandsky's book if great....especially for those new to a CKD diagnosis.

[@DADVICETV]

Agree 100%

[@vsandoval4900]

Protein in the urine, atherosclerosis.... my doctor is worried. My BUN/creatinine ratio is 15, creatinine by itself is 1.89...eGFR last test was 28, up after two full courses of antibiotic dropped it to 23. She wants a fistula if I hit 20... that was 2 months ago. I told her no, it's too soon. She asked me if I wanted to die!! 27:54 27:54 P.S. I'm 70...

[@shapsis]

Can you talk more about stage 4 and 5 please

[@hookntink51]

I'm 72, borderline diabetic, stage 3.5 kidney, keeping blood pressure in check. Struggling with what to eat.

Un caro abbraccio dall’Italia a James e a Dr. Rosa 🌹 ( in italiano significa rosa)

Thank you! I’m still working on my Italian. But I plan to be very fluent by the time I retire to Italy!

We are all waiting for you James…( please don’t forget Dr Ro👆)❤

[@claireluvstotravel4752]

Another great video ❤

[@jeannewbery]

I am 89 and stage three and have been stable for quite some time! However, my last labs concerned me as my eGFR was 40 and creatinine was1.5. And I only have one kidney due to having lost one to cancer in 1984. I only way 108 . I seem to have a high metabolism and need lots of food to keep me going! They just dropped my protein amount to 40 and than others enough to keep a flea going! I walk close to 7000 steps a day, do yoga and gigo g! Can I increase my protein?

[@IMChrysalis]

I really need to go eat right now, my blood sugar is starting to crash... 😢 hate to miss the rest of this! Ill have to catch the rest later... after tge comments etc...

[@cynthiawilliams5833]

What is considered low protein?

[@anitam.924]

I am doing my darndest to get my egfr back up by following the kidney diet as best as I can.

[@kayfreschly6272]

I assume plant based protein's best sources are beans matched with grains that complete the protein, but what concerns me about that is two fold. 1. Oxalate levels. My husband's type stone that started his kidney problems was calcium oxalate type. 2. Grains and beans raise blood sugar/insulin leading to diabetes which is also associated with kidney decline. So, I truly worry about a plant based diet for him. Am I in error about best plant based diet protein sources?

[@atice72]

Calcium citrate capsules can bind the oxcalates. You can open the capsules, and add a little bit into meals.thst have high oxcalates. May need a tiny bit of coconut oil 1/4 tsp to prevent constipation. Brown rice protien powder, hardly has any carbohydrates, just protien, can take the place of the need for so much legumes beans. Nutribiotic name brand.

[@belindadavid3241]

Don't know what to eat or follow anymore.

[@johnseeker9520]

Most of the "experts" don't really know either

[@johnseeker9520]

Just eat a balanced overall healthy diet and get your labs regularly done and as a bonus maybe speak to a dietitian that specializes in kidney disease if you have and you will be fine. Labs are very important and will dictate what's going on. Check vitamin D, renal labs, and albumin to creatinine ratio or aka ACR

[@belindadavid3241]

I just got my lab results. Everything was fine. 😆

[@kropchik]

No word about insulin resistance and general metabolic syndrome as a cause for kidneys health?

[@cynthiabragg2611]

Hello james and Dr Ross im doing well i missed your live , very good information im holding steady at 37 -38 no protein in urine,i no longer need to do my blood pressure rates daily just a couple times a week ❤

[@lindadurand247]

What about stage 4 ?

[@catirerubio]

So, what kind of protein? Meat is typically to be avoided, though it is a complete protein. Powdered protein products are full of additives, flavor enhancers, sodium and sugar? Egg whites have about 7 grams each, and not rich in amino acids. What to do?

[@kropchik]

Eat the entire egg

[@Patricia-hu8gi]

James you didn’t ask Dr Ro about his vacation, I think he said he was going to Europe

[@DADVICETV]

He had to cancel his trip, so him and his wife Alice spent time with family at home. Hopefully they will be able to reschedule it.

[@rabiaamjad786]

Well nowdays there are a bunch of new research and videos coming up abt keto and carnivore diets better for ckd and insisting on taking protein and it wont harm kidneys with patient examples making us confused who are following your plant based diet videos what do u have to say about that??

[@ChandlerWheeling]

I’ve seen that too. I know there hasn’t been much new research on CKD in years sadly

[@robertoenrique6573]

I'm from Philippines, stage 3b and I'm in chemotherapy cause of leukemia.can I cut my oral chemo doses?

[@pablodebella7695]

Im 40 years old in stage 4 with a eGFR of 20, me and my brother we both inherited it from my mother (he is 41 with a eGFR of 21), thing is we are not losing protein in the urine, luckily we got a good nefrologist who said that we dont need dialisis until we hit the 8-7% eGFR mark and he already discarded that is PKD. We started with a renal diet about a month ago, do we have any chance of stopping the progression? or since its genetic it becomes inevitable? we are still running studies and probably a biopsy is in the near future. Thanks for all the good information.

[@pafraj2063]

Eat plant based and exercise almost everyday. Take control and there is always a chance to delay as long as possible. I am 44m stage 4 ckd with lowest egfr at 23 at one point with diabetes and high blood pressure. I was able to get control of BP and significantly reduced many symptoms including nausea, headache, fatigue, etc. You can do it! Results will come as time passes. Eat .6 to .8g/kg weight of protein and stay away from red meat.

[@ChandlerWheeling]

Can you take SGLT 2s if you’re not a diabetic?

[@DADVICETV]

Yes, but your doctor needs to evaluate that you are a good fit (I am not for example) and they can be costly.

[@ChandlerWheeling]

My other problem is I’m already small and am losing more weight eating basically a Mediterranean diet. I’m not a big bean eater, I can eat black beans in a salad. I don’t like peanut butter, but I like nuts. I just need ideas to gain weight. I’m stage 3

My EGFR dropped to 16 and went up to 21 I still don't understand how it works

[@lisamanfredi4193]

To my understanding a good GFR is between 90 to 120. As long as it doesn’t go below 60

Yes your at stage 4. But diet and what you eat can make it fluctuate over time. Get on Reynadle it helped stabilize your egr

Yes, you need to eat protein at every meal

Also please speak with a nutritionist that specializes in kidney issues, don't believe you Tube videos

[@jlarson1040]

On average, overall loss of kidney function is 25% over 70 years of life just from consuming a diet high in animal protein. See Brenner, BM. "Dietary protein intake and the progressive nature of kidney disease" N Engl J Med. 1982 Sep 9; 307 (11): 652-59. Also, see Meyer, TW. Dietary protein intake and progressive glomerular sclerosis: the role of capillary hypertension and hyperferfusion in the progression of renal disease."
