Beware meat lovers! Diets high in red meat may contribute to kidney disease, and if you already suffer from early stages of renal malfunction, eating red meat may aggressively worsen your condition. The human body is designed to consume animal protein at moderate levels, but daily consumption over time will harm your body’s ability to get rid of acids that are harmful to kidney function. According to Texas A&M University, approximately 26 million people have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and in 2013, over 47,000 individuals died from acute renal failure. If you have not been diagnosed but your regular diet consists of high levels of red meat, you might experience hypertension, fatigue, unintentional weight loss, or loss of appetite. If you or a loved one has been feeling extra tired lately, a little part-time help from A-1 Home Care goes a long way.
Home Help for Chronic Kidney Disease Care
No matter what stage of kidney disease you’re in, A-1 Home Care is there to help. From assistance with daily activities, such as meal preparation, cooking and cleaning to more complex kidney care, such as operating hemodialysis machinery at home, our seasoned and knowledgeable in-home caregivers will assist you round-the-clock, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Keen attention to the dietary needs of your elderly loved one is of utmost importance in preventing the progression of kidney disease. Your loved one may feel socially isolated from her friends because they don’t know how to show emotional support, or maybe your loved one is unable to visit her friends as often as she’d like due to chronic fatigue. You can count on one of our companion care aides to take you wherever you need to go – social visits, doctor’s appointments, or errands.
