Original Kidney Upline Doctor Group Kidney Upline
Many kidney friends have a habit of looking at the nutritional content on the package every time they buy packaged food to see sodium, protein, sugar and other information. This habit is very good, how much to eat in the heart of the number, the kidney line to give the partners a thumbs up!
A package of food
But there is a class of ingredients, the nutritional composition list of the bag, will not mark its content, but it is extremely important for kidney friends, that is:
phosphorus
Phosphorus is a necessary mineral for the body, but excessive intake will bring trouble to our kidney friends.
Many highly processed foods contain large amounts of inorganic phosphate, which can extend the shelf life of food. Not only is the content high, but also almost 100% absorbed by the human body, for patients with kidney disease, especially kidney friends with renal insufficiency and uremia, the kidney's ability to excrete phosphorus is not strong, especially be vigilant.
What are the dangers if I take too much?
Presumably, everyone has heard of renal bone disease (CKD-MBD, chronic kidney disease mineral and bone metabolism abnormalities), which is a more common health problem in patients with renal insufficiency and uremia, and phosphate retention is the initial predisposing factor for its pathological changes.
You can look at the intuitive performance of some patients after getting sick, such as shortened bones, shorter height, changed face, bone pain, etc.:
The kidneys can regulate the level of phosphorus, when the kidneys are seriously damaged, it is difficult to continue to maintain the balance of phosphorus, the blood will accumulate a lot of phosphorus, absorb calcium from the bones, weaken the bones. Calcium is not good enough to stay in the bones, running to other parts of the body, such as deposited in the lining of blood vessels, can lead to serious health problems. In addition to the bone abnormalities seen above, it can also cause cardiovascular diseases such as vascular calcification.
If we eat less deeply processed foods with high inorganic phosphorus content, it is equivalent to helping the kidneys reduce its phosphorus excretion task, which can prevent and improve renal bone disease.
See these words, we kidney friends should be careful!
Of course, here, we are not teaching everyone to eat all foods with high phosphorus content, the kidney line has just emphasized that the body itself needs to consume appropriate phosphorus to maintain health, the recommended amount is 800-1000mg per day, but from what food to consume phosphorus, the way is very important.
The high-protein foods we usually eat such as meat, egg yolks, dairy products, and beans also contain more phosphorus, but the phosphorus in these fresh foods is organophosphorus, and the absorption rate of the human body is far less than that of inorganic phosphorus in packaged foods. If you excessively avoid these healthy foods, resulting in malnutrition, the mortality rate of patients will be higher, so these high-protein and high-nutrient but high-phosphorus natural foods can be eaten in moderation, and everyone needs to treat them differently.
The kidney line calls on everyone to limit those deep-processed packaged foods that have low nutritional value and high inorganic phosphorus and are easily absorbed.
Take a few examples of packaged foods that people often eat:
There are disodium phosphate, trisodium phosphate, disodium tripolyphosphate, potassium tripolyphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, these words of packaged food, we less touch.
Welcome partners to forward, wake each other up, and show our determination to maintain kidney health!
