Abstract
Without proteins, the body would fail to fight infections, heal injuries, or stop bleeding. Consumption of proteins is thus of great significance. However, knowing what to consume being affected with kidney diseases is very crucial given the kidney the task to filter wastes created as a result of the foods people consume in an attempt to ensure the right balance of minerals and nutrients is maintained not just in the body but in the blood as well. This work covers the concept of what amounts of protein an individual with chronic kidney disease (CDK) should consume without the risk of overworking the kidney. For CKD individuals without dialysis, protein-intake should be limited while for those with dialysis, higher intake of protein is allowed given its necessity in aiding the maintenance of the levels of blood protein just as much in improving health. This is because dialysis assists in protein waste removal from the blood, and therefore low amounts of proteins are unnecessary.
