DIET FOR PATIENT WITH
CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE (CKD)
Before fully entering into the diet, it is important to clarify some things that are essential in
The kidney is the blood filter par excellence, all of it passes through there. You only find out
about CKD when 75% of this organ is already failing. The functional unit is the nephron.
In these types of patients, nutrition is essential. You have always been told about giving diets low
in protein, but more important than that is its quality, to maintain the function and integrity of the
body's filter.
I will send you diets with quality protein so that you can use it regularly. I highly recommend that
you use specific foods as COMPLEMENTS and as “treats” the foods. ments allowed.
Its nutritional treatment is essential because kidney damage is irreversible and progressive,
therefore if adequate nutrition is not given, more nephrons will be lost every day until vol be

Proteins
As I told you, more than the quantity, the most important thing is the quality of the protein. The

biological value. That is, its ability to create tissues, such as muscle and organs. The egg is
considered the protein with the highest biological value, 100. Milk, 92; chicken and beef, 72; etc.
The kidney patient loses a lot of muscle mass, loses weight, therefore we must offer him this
type of protein, which does not cause much work for the kidney and is easily converted.
Proteins of animal origin are the best for patients with kidney failure, because they are easy to
Feeding low-quality protein requires more effort on the part of the kidney. See how quality is

CARBOHYDRATES (PASTA, CEREALS, GRASS...)
In CKD patients, it is important to cover their energy demand and it is best to avoid high-quality
proteins being used for this purpose, as they are already “very busy” trying to generate and
Therefore, the best way to help meet the energy requirements of the CKD patient is with
carbohydrates.
We will incorporate some carbohydrates into our diets through potatoes or rice.
FATS
Although dogs and cats, as good carnivores, have a great capacity for the synthesis of animal
fats, they must be avoided in excess due to oxidative processes. The best results two have been
seen from the combination of omega 3 fats and animal fat. Avoid vegetables in general.

HYPERTENSION
Hypertension is rare in dogs and cats, however CKD is the most common cause of elevated tion

some small leaks (due to the pressure exerted by the open tap), and if not over time, the pressure
will play its role. Well, something like this happens with blood pressure on the kidneys. It must be
reduced.
SALT
Carnivores do not need salt, their natural diet (prey) provides the sodium (salt) necessary to meet
their requirements. As we well know, salt increases tension, so if salt is released be used in

18 ORTHOMOLECULAR NUTRITION IN THE PATIENT WITH
CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE (CKD)
Before getting into the subject, let me briefly explain what orthomolecular nutrition is.

DOSE
Pay attention to this. I try to give you doses and not “pills.” What do I mean by this? Very rarely am
I going to tell you “Give it half a pill” except for international products that are easy to find in any
country. How am I going to tell you? For example, I will tell you “10 mg per kilo of weight.” Then
you do the conversion. Because? Because each laboratory varies its pre sensations, and while
some have a pill with 20 mg, the others have the same pill with 40 mg.
-------------------------------------------- dognutritionist.com----------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
Let me explain something very important to you. As it is very likely that you have had a dog fed based on
those dry, highly industrialized balls that do not spoil, that is, feed, kibble, concentrate... whatever you want
to call them, without a doubt your dog has a very weak intestine; It is important to strengthen or “arm” it so
that it absorbs nutrients as best as possible.
We are going to use the following nutrients that you can easily find in any grocery store. nutritional
supplements, herbalists, herbalists..., start as soon as possible, even before the diet. I highly recommend
that you give these nutrients at least five to seven days before starting the diet, which is why I already
explained the lines above.
Probiotics
Glutamine
Probiotics are very easy to get, really. If you can't get glutamine, which is also relatively easy to get, don't
worry, start with probiotics, it will be the best for your dog's intestine.
Probiotics . I want you to buy any that are rich in acidophilus , it may have other probiotics plus the
brand you buy (almost certainly), don't worry, they won't hurt you, on the contrary, but it is important that it
has acidophilus , because it is one of the main probiotics in the flora of dogs sa us. No matter the brand.

meal as possible. If you couldn't fast, it doesn't matter, what matters It is important that you consume them
for at least a month. I recommend repeating this treatment 3-4 times a year for 1-2 months and rest for the
same amount.
Glutamine. This is the key amino acid for the specific nutrition of intestinal cells. Admi nistra 500mg per
day, in the case of large dogs and 250mg for small and medium-sized dogs. With guidelines similar to
those of probiotics, you give 1-2 months and rest the same... and so on.
