किडनी पेशेंट के लिए चाय In this video, Dr. Puru Dhawan talks about tea which is beneficial in kidney failure patients.  

Tea is the most addictive drink in India and consuming it while kidney failure can affect a patient's health.  When the kidney of a patient gets damaged due to #high blood pressure, we advise avoiding tea. 

  We at Sai Sanjivani, advise limiting the amount of tea. The kidney failure patient must not exceed half a cup of tea in the morning and a half in the evening to the patients.

 It will be beneficial for patients to drink tulsi leaves with water as tulsi is alkaline in nature and neutralizes the acid in the body of the patient. Along with it, the patient can add green tea or normal tea to add flavor to it. 

But the patient must not exceed the amount and avoid adding milk. Apart from it, the patient can use a pinch of tea leaves in the tea.

In this video, Dr. Puru Dhawan shares the information of polycystic kidney patients regarding their diet in kidney failure.

Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder which causes cysts to grow inside the kidneys. Polycystic kidney disease leads to kidney failure. Kidney failure can be controlled by following a proper diet. Dr. Puru Dhawan gives a Diet chart for patients with Polycystic kidney disease as the loss of kidney function is one of the serious complications of polycystic kidney disease. Diet plays a very important role in making kidneys better in polycystic kidney disease patient and also helps them from getting worse. In polycystic kidney patients, Creatinine, urea and potassium levels can be managed by 2 ways : 1. Removal of the previous amount of creatinine and urea 2. Intake amount of protein and sodium should be less GFR and KFT reports are basically based on creatinine levels of the patient. Creatinine is a waste product produced by the muscles, which is usually excreted by the kidneys. High protein intake and vigorous exercises lead to an increase in creatinine levels. How to control creatinine levels : 1. Moderate protein intake (patient should not stop protein diet) The patient should take such protein which makes less waste material and gets absorbed in the body. Animal source proteins are to be avoided by polycystic kidney patients like milk, eggs, poultry, dairy and fish products. • The patient should take 1cup pf milk per day. • Egg whites can also be taken by patients. • Moong daal without the skin is recommended. Creatinine can be removed from the body only through urine. For which we provide KFRT (Kidney Function Restoration Treatment) treatment at Sai Sanjivani, Which helps in the functioning of the kidney and removes waste material through urine. Another is Potassium levels which need to control in a patient as high potassium levels can lead to a heart attack. Potassium is a mineral that helps the body to work properly and also helps nerves to function and muscle to contract. And high Potassium leads to Fatigue, Tiredness, weakness, and nausea. Potassium is present in every food item, either in higher amount or in lower. It is important for polycystic kidney patients to reduce potassium intake in the diet. High Potassium vegetables that are to be avoided by patients : Potato Arbi Beetroot Turnip Sweet potato Leafy vegetables like Cauliflower, spinach, cabbage, methi, and coriander are to be avoided. Exceptions are onion, radish, and carrot. Low potassium vegetables that are to be eaten by the patient are : Tomtato Karela Brinjal Okhra Bottle gourd Snake gourd Pumpkin Parwal Leaching of vegetables is important to lower its potassium level. Low hemoglobin levels are the most frequent complication of polycystic kidney disease. Some of the symptoms of low Hemoglobin are : Shortness of breath Tiredness Weakness dizziness

 Erythropoietin injections are given to patients with low hemoglobin but when the levels do not get increase even after that then the patient is recommended for a proper diet. Patients are recommended to eat only 1 cup of fruits, and patients with low hemoglobin are advised to drink the juice off each seed before spitting pomegranate seeds.

 Polycystic kidney patients also have the problem of uncontrolled blood pressure. Pomegranate helps to lower blood pressure but patients potassium level should be normal. Reducing salt intake lowers blood pressure in people with kidney failure. unless there is low blood pressure, a patient should avoid salt or salt intake should be less. A patient should drink water according to thirst rather than an elaborate schedule. How KFRT works : 1. Treats the causes of kidney failure (diabetes, high blood pressure, allopathy medicines) 2. Restores Kidney  functioning 3. Reduces the high levels of Creatinine, Urea, and potassium
