Yes, its true. Throughout medical history, Science has provided us with 3 treatment options
Dont worry, it will not take a rocket scientist to figure out which one is the best for you.
Anyways, here they are Try to figure out which of these best suites you
1.) Hemodialysis Before the mid 70s, having kidney failure meant death. Thats the sad fact that was eliminated with the advent of hemodialysis. But come to think of it, do you really want to be hooked to a dialysis machine every 2-3 days for the rest of your life?
2.) Kidney Transplantation If at all 100% successful, leads to lower mortality rate than hemodialysis. The problem lies in finding a donor and the waiting time. You might actually degenerate and lead to hemodialysis before a donor shows up. If your body does not reject it, you still have to take harmful and toxic drugs for life which carries with it its own danger.
3.) Low Protein Diet (Pre-Dialysis Diet) You may not have heard of this treatment yet, or maybe you vaguely came across this while researching. More often than I ever care to count, physicians fail to tell their clients that they are having signs of kidney failure. They would tend to wait until symptoms show and then prescribe medications and wait for their patient to get into dialysis stage.
Among the three, Im pretty sure you will pick the last one. Right? Its the safest, cheapest, and it gives out the best outcome among the three.
Alright, let me break it down to explain how a pre-dialysis treatment using low protein diet can change your life starting today
What You Didnt Know
The earliest attempt of this diet is back in 1960s when Giordano and Giovanetti limited the protein intake of patients with impending renal failure. Though they have seen dramatic kidney function improvements, it was far from perfect.
Since then, nephrologists who saw the need for pre-dialysis treatment of kidney disease patients applied this approach to their patients. And I have to tell you, there were very few of them.
A team of nephrologists from a well-renowned hospital in United States used this method back in 1999. On that hospital alone, they were able to improve the kidney function of all 176 patients that year.
A similar study was conducted in France by nephrologist/researcher Michel Aparicio and his colleagues. To everyones amazement, the same results occurred better kidney functioning as evidenced by blood creatinine levels.
Why You May Never Have Known This Proven Effective Method
Sad fact be bluntly told, physicians tend to prefer giving medications than giving specific dietary treatments.
Until such time that kidney diseases have progressed enough to need dialysis, most physicians do not regularly check urine samples to verify kidney degradation.
In support of this, Consumer Reports featured an article entitled Taking Charge of Diabetes: Self-Care Is Crucial and Widely Neglected. Yet the article makes no mention of testing for urine protein and instead is devoted entirely to testing blood sugar.
This goes to show that the proper funding authorities have not yet given much emphasis on dietary treatments.
