Food List for Stage 4 CKD Patients to Avoid Kidney Failure

What is the diet list for stage 4 CKD to avoid kidney failure? and this should be a common question to all the renal patients. In the following article, we will get further understanding of this problem.

Keep a well planed diet for stage 4 CKD patients can help reduce kidney burden and slow down its progression, which can help avoid dialysis. Here are the suggested foods to avoid for stage 4 CKD.

Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 4 have severely damaged kidneys. Therefore, excess blood wastes and fluid cannot be removed by kidneys. In that case, patients are suggested to avoid salty foods, foods high in protein but rich in high-quality protein or vegetable and fruits that contain much potassium and phosphorous. All these diet suggestions can be beneficial for CKD patients. However, since the specific illness condition is different from case to case, so CKD stage 4 patients need to make a good diet chart based on their own condition.

How to prevent Kidney Failure effectively?

Although diet can help slow down the progression of kidney failure, but it cant restore renal function. So patients need to take effective treatment to improve kidney function. No matter what is the direct cause of kidney disease, the root cause of kidney damage is ischemia and hypoxia. Due to this factor, kidney tissues start fibrosis, failing to filter blood wastes and maintain electrolyte and water balance. Therefore, to prevent Kidney Failure, medicines must be able to increase blood volume and oxygen supply for kidney tissues, as so to stop the progression of kidney fibrosis.

We achieve that goal by using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The ingredients of Chinese herbs we choose have the function of expanding blood vessels, anti-inflammations, anti-coagulation and degrading extracellular matrixes, thus increasing the whole blood circulation. Therefore, kidneys can get enough blood volume and oxygen to function well.
