Chronic Renal Failure Patients Should Supplement Calcium Moderately

Chronic renal failure patients should supplement calcium moderately. Once you are diagnosed with kidney failure, you will suffer from many serious symptoms. Therefore, you should pay attention to you treatment and daily diet.

Why do kidney failure patients consume calcium?

Damaged kidneys will cause calcium leakage and loss. Since kidney function declines, phosphorus in urine will reduce while phosphorus in blood will increase. This will lead to low calcium in blood. Besides, in kidney failure, there is lack of active vitamin D, which affects the intestinal absorption. This can worsen hypocalcemia. Therefore, calcium supplement can not only prevent itchy skin, convulsion and impotence, but also prevent complications from low calcium in blood such as hyperthyroidism and chronic malnutrition.

How to supplement calcium?

Patients can take some medications to supplement calcium. Also they can supplement calcium through diet. Obviously, dairy foods like milk, cheese and yogurt are good sources of calcium but there are also some nondairy foods like almonds, dark green vegetables, tofu and canned salmon that contain this important nutrient.

Calcium-fortified foods including some breakfast cereals, orange juice and soy beverages are on additional option.

However, patients with acidosis should be careful when consuming calcium. Because it can cause acute attack and threaten your life when you take alkaline agent to correct acidosis.
