Best Protein For Kidney Disease? How Much Protein To Eat? Protein Powders? 

We had so many additional questions on protein and CKD that we added another episode.

I was diagnosed with 4th stage kidney failure...almost 9 years ago. Went vegan and my GFR came up to 36.Last year I went more whole foods and intermittent fasting. My GFR came up to 44!

I’m a huge fan of this channel. I appreciate the thought that it boils down to “progress over perfection.” I was enrolled in the CKDopps study and the plant-based, whole foods approach is keeping me going. I will watch this video again. Thank you!

So easy to follow and understand. Thank you both!

Thank you guys for all this wonderful information.

Thank God for people who care

Thank you as always! 🤗 explained so well!

Thank you for highlighting the impact of protein powder.

Thank you 💞 Dr. Very useful video 👍

Well explained and and credible.

I’m a naturally very slim person and have been the same weights +/- 5lbs all my adult life. I’m currently Stage 3B, generally in good health an not diabetic. Hypertension is managed at 125/70 and prescribed dapagliflozin for about six months - eGFR has shown a little improvement and stable. My diet is now predominantly vegetable based protein ( I call myself an ‘Involuntary Vegetarian’ 😅) but I have lost 10lbs in the last twelve months. I’m 70 years but feel as if I’m heading into early sarcopenia even though I eat lots of carbs as well as my vegetables. Any ideas Dr Hasmi?

Good info, thanks, appreciate it mucho!

What is the impact of strenuous working out on protein use and resultant creatinine please

You have helped me so much

Excellent! Thank you. 🎉

Renal RD here, can you provide links to the studies mentioned?

I was using vegan protein powder twice a day and believe I got kidney stones from it. Maybe to much oxalates. I have shunned it ever since and since gone whole food plant based. Does look like I need to watch my portion sizes on beans. I was using Montmorency Cherry Juice or dried cherries and it seemed to cause problems (uric acid?) with kidneys or gout like symtoms. Could be just drink/eating too much at a time. Plan on eating fresh or frozen and watch my portion sizes better.

I have protein in rfe urine. I just had a biopsy. I found out that the creatine is fine and there is no rejection. But there is no reason for the protein in the urine. I have eaten more animal protein. I want to know how I can get more information plant protein that doesn't have high in sodium. I am on prograf 1MG caps 3x2times a day and Cellcept 500MG tabs 1x2 times a day. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thank you

Hello i have some urgent question pea protein isolate does have any oxalates ??? and stevia how much does it have per gram? THanks

Hello Doctors, my GFR is 58 and I am doing weight training to build up muscle. Should I be worrying about limiting my protein intakes?

How about fish? Salmon, Haddock, Tuna, Mahi, Cod. Pescatarian and plant diets here. Thank you.

Thank you again

What about Seafood: shrimp, crabs, clamps, etc, can a person with CKD eat Seafoods? Why (not)?

I don’t currently have CKD but am a kidney donor and am curious to know if I should be limiting my protein intake (I’m trying to eat whole food plant based since the donation); my goal is to protect the one I have left. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks 🙏

Hello I have lupus nephritis & have protein in the urine, can this be caused by too much protein or inflammation? Because I feel I don’t eat a lot of protein.

This is very difficult for me. I am the care giver for my husband, he has stage 4 kidney disease, he has protein in the urine, high potassium is high, I do not know how exactly to feel him.

Where can I buy keto acids?

Great information here....quick question...If you are +3 protein in urine , shouldn't your blood protein level be low due to that ?

Is bone both bad for kidney health if stage 3.? Does it contain purines? I use bone broth in my soups

Is using ketoanalogues amino acid really effective in lowering creatinine? I am taking two tablets 3x a day, but I don't see any improvements with my crea results. It's still high 700+

Protein is a complex matter. But generally speaking. We know that animal protein is not as healthy as plant protein. We also know that 7 out of 10 people who have or had cancer, their diet is the culprit. Furthermore, anything that comes from the cow contributes to incidence of cancer, that’s to include milk. Drive by a cow farm on a rainy day, and smell the stench and see how they live in their own excrement. It’s no wonder they have to inject them with antibiotics. We now have superbugs that are antibiotic resistant. The U.S. is approx. 4-5% of the world’s population, and yet we consume 70% of the world’s drugs! Big problem! They’re getting into our ground water and the molecules are so small, it is virtually impossible to filter them out. Long term use of any drug is not good. In many cases, they address one problem and create another, in turn we need more drugs to treat or just cover up the problems. It’s a vicious cycle. Are we the sickest country or what? Big pharma would like us to believe that, so they can sell us more drugs. Also, the food industry is directly responsible for this unhealthy mess we are in. So, if your not in good health, know and understand it’s not entirely your fault. Educate yourself then try and eat more RAW veggies and fruits. Because, anytime you cook food you change the molecules, in turn depleting nutrients. Look folks I’m a positive but pragmatic person. I see a bright future in healthcare, with the rapid advance of AI (artificial intelligence) which will transform our world (Socio-economic & political) beyond our imagination. Example: Deep Mind an AI company just revealed 200 million proteins! Huge bio-genetic breakthroughs are coming soon. Keep it simple folks, try and eat a bit less and focus on Raw veggies and fruits and take 3, 20-30 min walks a week. That’s it. And listen to Michele, she’s a smart lady.

What about taking collagen powder? Is it ok with ckd 3

What about plant based essential amino acids. Do they yeild same metabolic waste as foods. Let's say they're pre digested essential amino acids supplements?

2yrs ago i had surgery of ureter because of ureter blockage . my kidneys are totally safe . can i take whey protein? plz help❤

what about omega-3-oils, oily fish. plant protein does not have Vitamin 12.

What is your opinion about Nepro shake from Abbott

I think I eat too little because I have not been to th e bathroom in a week, I eat whole fruit and whole veggies but apparently not enough fiber. I am getting so discouraged

What do you think of Ezekiel 4:9 breads they claim to be the perfect protein and a miracle sprout?

What about eggs? How much of protein is in one egg?

How to figure out how much protein I need in a day.

What about eating salmon?

sir Dr 🙏😇 mam I always watch you and post the the so magnificent I always listen every word because it's true I'm from Philippines I'm Jasmin I'm a kidney deceased I heard the topic I search what food amino it's on beans and other plant the moringa is 15 amino acid in the body sir mam I search and thank you in the Philippines have moringga and beans I wish you had topic about mornings leaves or parts in morning

What do you do when you are on a low carb diet for diabetes and also have CKD? What can you eat?

Gods amongst man 🙏

I reversed my diabetes, lowered blood pressure, fixed my cholesterol, improved my HS symptoms, and improved my kidney function from stage 3 too stage 2 on a carnivore diet. plant based diet was slowly killing me.

For ckd patients which rice is better, brown rice or white rice

I like some of Doc's informative video, but this one not so relevant

No red meat under any circusmtance! Uric acid is one of the main culprits in CKD.

So, I hear all these substitutes of plant protein for animal protein that are loaded with potassium and/or phosphorus. Why are you ignoring this?

I switched from a whey protein powder to a planet based protein powder, and i feel the difference.

❤

Thanx u God 🙏🙌 Praise the Lord 🙏🙌 N Jesus name 🙏🙌 Amen 🙏🙌

Never mind. I got it

All you tubers dont talk abaut coffe...good it bad 4 kidneys?

Ok im confused...people say keto diet is excellent for bad kidney 👀

Your kind of handicapping yourself by already deciding a plant based diet is good for your kidneys, then trying to square-hole-round-peg the science to match that worldview. It's the sugar folks; I don't necessarily like it easier, but really isn't a debate, isn't an ideal, isn't dogma.

Oh Lord, I am so confused.

Hi, I am 81 years old, I need more protein than younger people
