Can Nephrotic Syndrome Patients Take BCAA Supplement While Exercising

Twenty percent of our human body is made up of protein. Protein plays a crucial role in almost all biological processes and amino acids are the building blocks of it. Amino acids have an influence on the function of organs, glands, tendons and arteries. Well then, is it good for Nephrotic Syndrome patients to take Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) supplement while exercising?

As mentioned above, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. When proteins are broken down or metabolized, our kidneys are responsible for excreting wastes of this metabolic process. The waste product is known as urea. Amino acid supplement is helpful for those with kidney problem not necessarily those with healthy kidneys. This is because in cases of kidney disease, the kidneys work hard to discharge waste product urea from protein metabolism. When nephrotic syndrome patients take amino acid supplements, they can obtain the non-essential amino acids without going through the metabolic process of breaking down proteins and thus excreting the waste product urea.

However, you should consult with a doctor before taking a potentially dangerous supplement. Because amino acids can cause some side effects including high blood pressure, rapid heart beat, fatigue and dizziness.

Aside from amino acids, the key treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome patients is a systematic Chinese medicine treatment in our hospital-Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, China.
