Dietary modification is recommended in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Individuals with CKD often have multiple comorbidities, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, for which dietary modification is also recommended. As CKD progresses, nutrition plays an important role in mitigating risk for cardiovascular disease and decline in kidney function. The objectives of nutrition interventions in CKD include management of risk factors, ensuring optimal nutritional status throughout all stages of CKD, preventing buildup of toxic metabolic products, and avoiding complications of CKD. Recommended dietary changes should be feasible, sustainable, and suited for patients' food preferences and clinical needs.
Dena Rendall un'influencer scozzese di 20 anni che ha un certo seguito sui suoi canali social: le piattaforme che utilizza di pi, infatti, sono Instagram e Tiktok. Proprio attraverso queste ultime, ha raccontato la sua disavventura con le carote, un ortaggio che, fin da quando era bambina, le sempre piaicuto molto. Si sa, tuttavia, che il troppo storpia e, infatti, per questa sua passione per le dolci verdure, la pelle di Dena diventata arancione.
Dena Rendall una content creator che segue una dieta vegetariana e va pazza per le carote. Questa sua passione l'ha portata a consumare, negli ultimi anni, anche 10 verdure arancioni al giorno, con l'aggiunta di una patata dolce e di tre peperoni. Tutti ortaggi super pigmentati che hanno causato in Dena la carotenemia, una pigmentazione della pelle giallo-arancio causata da alti livelli di carotene nel sangue. Infatti, la pelle dell'influencer era diventata di un riflesso arancione e, come da lei dichiarato, le bastava davvero poco per abbronzarsi. Gli amici di Dena hanno notato un cambiamento nel colore del suo colorito e, inizialmente, lei ci rimasta male per alcuni commenti ma, poi, ha pensato che, almeno, non c'era nulla di artificiale o chimico nel suo corpo. Comunque sia, ora, la tiktoker ha ridotto il cosumo di carote: adesso ne mangia sei al giorno.
Recentemente, sui social, Dena ha detto: Avere la pelle di questo colore grazie alle carote, sicuramente pi salutare di farsi le lampade. Sono una ragazza bionda e pallida con la pelle molto chiara ma poich mangio cos tante carote posso abbronzarmi tutto l'anno. Sembravo un Umpa Lumpa, gli aiutanti di Willy Wonka. Ho smesso di ricevere cos tanti commenti da quando ho ridotto le carote perch la mia pelle sta tornando a un colorito normale.
Some of the principles I learned may apply to others, but the particulars relate only to me. I would no more recommend you follow my specific diet than I would urge you to take someone else's medication. If you want to change your eating habits, please do it under the guidance of a licensed nutritionist. That's what I did.
As it turned out, the nutritionist I worked with had a special interest in chronic disease, although she was unfamiliar with post-polio syndrome. Before going to her, I held what I considered was a traditional but "enlightened" view of nutrition. In other words, I was eating the kind of diet typically recommended in the medical literature and by the experts for a 61-year-old male with my medical history. What I quickly discovered is that "enlightened" is not always smart.
When I was in residency training many years ago, I attended a lecture by an eminent nutritionist who said males should restrict their intake of "visible" eggs to one or two a month; so I reduced mine to maybe half a dozen a year. A short time later, I heard another well-known nutritionist say he was starting his newborn son on 2% milk; I switched that night from whole milk (3%) to low fat (2%), and over the years limited my intake to what I used with cereal.
Then there was the issue of girth control. In the interest of watching my weight, I tried to avoid snacks and sweets, except on special occasions. Fortunately, I don't have a very sweet tooth, so this adjustment was not all that difficult.
And so it went. Over the years, I cut out greasy foods, then lightly fried foods, and finally even lean, red meat. By the time I saw the nutritionist for my first appointment in February 1996, my diet consisted, more or less, of the following:
Sounds pretty healthy, right? That's what I thought. too, especially when I considered that my cholesterol was normal, my weight was essentially the same as when I graduated from college, and people in the cafeteria line never tired of saying, "Wow, that's a healthy lunch!"
Well, my nutritionist did not agree. When I returned after the first week with a diary of everything I had eaten and the amounts, her comment was, "This is incredible," and she didn't mean it as a compliment.
As it turned out, she thought almost everything I was doing was wrong. The bananas and orange juice were 'empty' calories, the soft drinks were a sugar fix, and my lunch was skimpy at best. In short, I was on a starvation diet, in her opinion, which she calculated at 1300-1500 calories per day.
But it wasn't the caloric intake that bothered her so much. My biggest sin was the small amount of protein I was eating (about 5-6 ounces per day). "No wonder you're tired and weak. Anybody would be on that diet," she said. I, of course, thought instantly to myself, "Is this the cause of post-polio syndrome? Are we all just eating the wrong diet?"
The main goals of my new nutritional plan were to increase the amount of protein, increase the number of calories, avoid the empty calories of orange juice and soft drinks, and finally, cut back on that nightcap.
While all of this was going on, I spent a fair amount of time at the library reviewing what's known about protein metabolism and what would be particularly relevant for polio survivors. Here's some of what I learned.
Second, proteins are made from amino acids, and new proteins are being made (synthesized) and broken down (degraded) each day. This protein turnover applies to muscle cells, as well, which are constantly synthesizing new protein every day. Some of this new protein comes from what we eat and some comes from "re-built" protein using amino acids already in the body.
It has been almost a full year since my dietary epiphany. I now eat lean meat regularly, along with nuts, fish, eggs, oatmeal and anything else with protein. I do not eat fruit for snacks as much, and most days, instead of a soft drink, I drink a home brew fortified with a protein supplement.
The results? My daily intake of protein has more than doubled to at least 12 ounces per day and my total calories are now somewhere between 1800-2000 per day. My weight is essentially unchanged. The best part is that my "good" arm, which used to be tired all the time, feels stronger, gets less fatigued at the end of the day, and seems to recover faster when it gets overworked.
Is this a "cure-all?" Absolutely not. I estimate my improvement in the 2-5% range, but it hasn't impacted all of my symptoms. I still get intense fatigue in the afternoon. My tank of gas is totally depleted by the end of the week. I'm still searching for new ways to pace myself to conserve what energy I have. Is my new diet healthier living through healthier eating? I believe so. Will it work for others? I don't know. What I have learned for sure, is that sensible eating under the guidance of an experienced nutritionist, is good advice for everyone.
2011 Update
I haven't seen a dietitian in years but have intentionally lost 12-15 pounds in the past six months because of a positive pre-diabetic blood test which scared me but is now back to normal.
Su cuidadora, Dena, decidi comenzar a darles una dieta 100% vegetal en enero de 2015, por dos razones principales: tica y salud. Principalmente comen pienso vegano aunque tambin de vez en cuando una latita de comida hmeda vegana. Dena prob varias marcas: Benevo, VeggieAnimals, Yarrah Vega sin trigo, y finalmente Natural Extra Vegetal. Benevo no le sentaba del todo bien a Best (un antiguo labrador de la familia, fallecido hace 6 aos) y a Tristan; VeggieAnimals tampoco sentaba bien a Louise, as que por eso Dena decidi cambiar a otras marcas. Adems, para suplementar, aade a la dieta aceite de camo y condroprotectores.
Los veterinarios fueron escpticos al principio, pero despus de ver a lo largo del tiempo que se encontraban mejor y las analticas estaban todas perfectas, recomendaron a Dena que siguiera as. Adems el dermatlogo que trataba a Louise le dijo que el pienso vegano iba bien para sus alergias. A veces Dena evita mencionar a sus veterinarios que da pienso vegano a sus perros hasta que ven las analticas, ya que muchos an estn desactualizados y piensan que perros y gatos necesitan carne para sobrevivir, algo que es totalmente falso.
Tenemos que decir que Louise, una labrador retriever que fue adoptada con casi 6 aos de edad, y que actualmente va a cumplir los 11, le fue diagnosticada una leishmaniosis adems de la alergia. Con una buena alimentacin, el tratamiento para la alergia y la leishmaniosis, Louise mantiene estable. Aqu vemos los resultados de sus ltimas analticas:
Tristan, un mestizo de Spitz alemn, desgraciadamente muri el 19 de febrero de este ao por un tumor cerebral. Pas 4 aos paraltico y sufra de incontinencia urinaria, secuelas que le quedaron despus de caerse por un puente. Hace unos 8 aos se le administr la vacuna de leishmania, y segn Dena esto le destroz los riones, provocndole una insuficiencia renal (en Veterinaria Natural Alma Vegana no recomendamos la vacuna de leishmania precisamente por la gravedad de algunos efectos secundarios). La insuficiencia renal no se pudo curar nunca, pero al menos con el pienso vegano se mantuvo estable durante mucho tiempo y una de sus ltimas analticas est prcticamente perfecta.
