Protein in Urine (Proteinuria) Causes, Symptoms, Tests & Treatments (by American Kidney Fund) When your kidneys are not working as well as they should, protein can leak through your kidney's filters and into your urine (i.e., your pee). Protein in your urine is called proteinuria or albuminuria. It is a sign that your kidneys are damaged.
Bicarbonate What is the acceptable level of Bicarbonate in the human blood? Extracted from “The Importance of Normal Bicarbonate Levels in Blood”: ‘Base Excess ’ or ‘ Base Deficit ’ can also be calculated from the difference between patient’s bicarbonate levels and the normal levels. Normal bicarbonate levels in blood: 23 – 30 mmol/L Bicarbonate levels less than 23 or more than 30 are considered to be abnormal. Metabolic Acidosis in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Clinical Update Sodium Bicarbonate: Special Precautions and Warnings (WebMD) Extracts: Sodium bicarbonate might increase blood pressure. People who already have high blood pressure should avoid sodium bicarbonate. Our input: A Patient has tried the following method but it did not yield positive results: A doctor from NUH advised a Kidney Patient that she may substitute with Magnesium Citrate if she is concerned of the elevation of Blood Pressure that happened to her after consuming Sodium bicarbonate. Please consult your Doctor should you decide to do a switch for your own safety as we are not Medical Professionals and we present this out of goodwill without liability. Magnesium Citrate (Wikipedia), CHEBI:131389 - magnesium citrate, Health Benefits of Magnesium Citrate. What to do next? As advised by a Doctor, take Sodium Bicarbonate (500mg) with Blood Pressure Medication such as Losartan. Please consult your Doctor for your health condition and specific advice. What foods should you avoid with acid reflux (heartburn)? Is alkaline water better for you than plain water? (Mayo Clinic) Extracts: Alkaline water has a higher pH level than that of plain tap water. So proponents say that it can neutralize acid in your bloodstream. Seven Reasons Why Alkaline Water Is Basically A Waste Of Money (Forbes) How to increase bicarbonate in your blood? Bicarbonate can balance out acid in your body. One way to increase bicarbonate levels is through alkali therapy, which could include taking sodium bicarbonate. Your doctor could also suggest taking another similar supplement, such as calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, or calcium acetate. What happens if bicarbonate is low? A low level of bicarbonate in your blood may cause a condition called metabolic acidosis, or too much acid in the body. A wide range of conditions, including diarrhoea, kidney disease, and liver failure, can cause metabolic acidosis. What causes low bicarbonate levels? Examples of conditions that can cause a low bicarbonate level include: Addison disease. Chronic diarrhoea. Diabetic ketoacidosis. How do you fix bicarbonate deficit? Reference: Bicarbonate deficit: The amount of bicarbonate req'd to correct a metabolic acidosis can be estimated from the following formula: Volume of distribution (Vd) = Total body weight (kg) x [0.4 + (2.4/[HCO3-]) (Deficit) mEq of NaHCO3 = Vd x target change in [HCO3-] Metabolic acidosis - symptoms, complications & treatment How do you replace bicarbonate? Since baking soda is an ingredient of baking powder, baking powder is technically the best substitute for baking soda. Gan — who noted that any substitutions may change the texture and flavor of the final dish — recommended using three times the amount of baking powder in lieu of baking soda. Will taking Baking soda increase blood sodium content? The only thing you need to be a little cautious of is taking too much sodium bicarbonate, which can increase your salt intake, which for some people can cause problems. Too much sodium bicarbonate will diminish potassium level. Baking soda is strong medicine https://www.thegardenisland.com/2019/08/07/lifestyles/baking-soda-is-strong-medicine/ Extracts: Carbon dioxide is also very important for the mitochondria. They produce carbon dioxide, thus good carbon dioxide levels are an indication of healthy mitochondria. So, when we take additional sodium bicarbonate, which then turns to carbon dioxide, we are increasing oxygen delivery almost instantly to the cells. This is a fundamental issue when dealing with any kind of disease. And sodium bicarbonate is a buffer in the blood to help control our pH levels, which is also crucial to our health. In emergency situations, doctors will even inject sodium bicarbonate intravenously as a life-saving treatment to balance pH levels, if the patient’s blood is becoming too acidic. Baking soda can help to heal the symptoms of acid reflux (GERD) almost instantly, by neutralizing the acid that is flowing upwards. When taking sodium bicarbonate it’s almost immediately noticeable that the pH of the urine changes, and becomes more alkaline. Baking soda can also help the detoxification process from chemical toxicity, heavy metals, and radiation. In cancer treatment, sodium bicarbonate is the perfect medicine, because it increases oxygen and increases carbon dioxide — and cancer cells do not like oxygen. Taking baking soda has also been shown to help decrease fatigue and increase performance. Some research has even found that a daily dose of baking soda may help reduce the destructive inflammation of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. The only thing you need to be a little cautious of is taking too much sodium bicarbonate, which can increase your salt intake, which for some people can cause problems. Too much sodium bicarbonate will diminish potassium levels. The easiest way and most beneficial way to take sodium bicarbonate is by putting a teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water and adding a little freshly squeezed lemon juice. You just drink it, two or three times a day. 22 Benefits and Uses of Baking Soda https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/baking-soda-benefits-uses Sodium Bicarbonate: Overview, Uses, Side Effects... https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1470/sodium-bicarbonate Baking Soda and Electrolytes https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/baking-soda-electrolytes-12472.html Baking Soda Can Settle the Stomach but Upset the Heart: Case Files of the Medical Toxicology Fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3770998/ What are the dangers of drinking baking soda? https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/dangers-of-drinking-baking-soda The best baking soda substitutes, according to a food scientist https://www.today.com/food/best-baking-soda-substitutes-according-food-scientist-t173931 How can I increase my bicarbonate levels naturally? One way to increase bicarbonate levels is through alkali therapy, which could include taking sodium bicarbonate. Your doctor could also suggest taking another similar supplement, such as calcium citrate, calcium carbonate, or calcium acetate. Taking sodium bicarbonate introduces sodium (salt) into your body. How do you increase sodium bicarbonate? Research suggests that taking sodium bicarbonate by mouth 40-120 minutes before short-term, high-intensity exercise improves power during exercise in trained men. Other research shows that taking sodium bicarbonate by mouth up to 3 hours before short-term, high-intensity exercise improves performance. Sodium Bicarbonate https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1470/sodium-bicarbonate What foods are high in bicarbonate? Potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) is an alkaline mineral that's available in supplement form. Potassium is an important nutrient and electrolyte. It's found in many foods. Fruits and vegetables, such as avocados, bananas, potatoes, and spinach, are excellent sources. Can dehydration cause low bicarbonate levels? Bicarbonate levels can also be reduced because of loss of bicarbonate in diarrheal stools. Low bicarbonate levels have been correlated with increased severity of dehydration in some studies. Glucose may be dangerously low because of poor intake or low absorption, or extremely elevated in DKA. Dehydration Workup https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/906999-workup How do you drink bicarbonate of soda? Baking soda can help treat heartburn by neutralizing stomach acid. To try it, dissolve 1 teaspoon (5 grams) of baking soda in a glass of cold water and drink the mixture slowly.

Urea By eating large amounts of protein foods e.g. meat, fish, chicken, eggs, cheese, milk and yoghurt before commencing dialysis, you will affect the buildup of urea and creatinine in your blood. An appropriate daily intake of protein should be advised by your dietician. Dietary Advice For Kidney Patients http://www.beaumont.ie/kidneycentre-forpatients-aguidetokidneydisease-die Probiotics in the treatment of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review (NIH) Extracts: The duration of the included studies varied from four to 24 weeks. Most of the included articles reported positive effects in renal function and decreased levels of urea, blood urea nitrogen, ammonia, plasma p-cresol, p-cresyl sulfate, and indoxyl sulfate. Effects of probiotic supplements on the progression of chronic kidney disease: A meta-analysis (NIH) Extracts: Conclusion: Our results highlighted that probiotic supplements exerted a statistically significant effect on urea levels in non-dialysis CKD population, while no evidence suggested that probiotics possessed meaningful impacts on the reduction of uric acid, C-reactive protein, creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate preservation of CKD population. Extracts: Overall, the probiotic administration may have potential benefit in improving symptoms and quality of life, reducing inflammation, and delaying the progression of kidney failure. Further research studies using a larger sample size with longer follow-up durations and a greater focus on clinical outcomes—including survival—are warranted to elucidate the significant clinical impact of the use of probiotics in CKD patients.

Does Eating Grapes Raise Your Blood Glucose? Extracts: You can minimize the overall glycemic index of a meal by consuming foods containing carbohydrates, like grapes, along with those that are high in protein or that contain fat or fiber. Fiber, protein and fat all cause your body to take longer to digest your food and slow the release of sugars into the bloodstream. Grape juice boosts memory, lowers blood sugar Grape Juice: Are There Health Benefits? Extracts: If you have diabetes or need to watch your blood sugar for any reason, ask your doctor whether you need to avoid or reduce your typical serving of fruit juice. Whole grapes may be a better option, as they contain fiber and may not be as likely to cause a rise in blood sugar.
