The Recommended Tea for Patients with CKD

Except the effective treatment, patients with CKD need to have a health life style.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among hemodialysis patients, and poorly controlled blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events. Also, high blood pressure remains one of the most common causes of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and contributes to development of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

A high blood pressure reading is one that exceeds 140/90 millimetres of mercury. The first figure, the systolic pressure, corresponds to the ‘surge’ that occurs with each heartbeat. You might have thought you were simply satisfying a thirst, but researchers say that drinking three cups of tea a day may also stabilize your blood pressure, reduce it, and minimize the variability of blood pressure readings taken at night.

Experts say the benefits of tea are largely due to flavonoid content, antioxidant ingredients, that counteract cardiovascular disease. It has long been known that high blood pressure can significantly increase the risk of heart disease. Now wide variations in blood pressure are also recognized as an important risk factor compared with blood pressure readings that show little difference over a 24-hour period.

There is already mounting evidence that tea is a contributor to a healthy heart, but this is an important discovery because it demonstrates a link between tea and a major risk factor for heart disease. This shows that the consumption of black tea lowers rates of blood pressure variation at night time. Research also suggests adding milk does not affect the benefits.

High blood pressure is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular and total mortality. Traditionally the level of blood pressure has been equated with risk but the variability of blood pressure is now thought to contribute to the risk. Black tea and its constituent flavonoids are increasingly associated with improvement in blood pressure and cardiovascular health. The regular consumption of black tea has been shown to lower blood pressure. Therefore, the renal experts from Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital recommend drinking three tea cups of black tea each day according to your fluid intake requirements.

Diet and Treatment of lowering High Creatinine Level for CKD patients

Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine, which is an important part of muscle. This article discusses the suitable diet and treatment of lowering high creatinine level for CKD patients .
Higher serum levels of creatinine indicate kidney damage or failure. For this, your doctor will prescribe a renal diet. As your kidneys' workload is lightened and the rate of damage slows, your creatinine levels will become lower. Renal diets focus on controlling protein, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and liquids.

CKD patients Diet


Protein -Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues and muscles and to fight off infection. When protein is broken down, like any other food, it produces certain waste products. One of these is urea, which damaged kidneys have trouble filtering out of the bloodstream. Most renal diets require you to monitor and limit your protein intake.
Potassium - When your kidneys aren't working well, your potassium levels can become too high. This can be serious and even cause sudden heart failure. Potassium is found in many foods, and you must carefully monitor your potassium intake on a renal diet. You may be asked to limit or eliminate leafy green vegetables, broccoli, bananas, potatoes, oranges and apricots, all of which are high in potassium, and encouraged to choose lower potassium foods including cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, apples, cranberries, grapes and rice.
Fluid-When your kidneys aren't working properly, they have problems removing excess fluid from your body. Your doctor may limit your fluid intake to prevent high blood pressure, swelling and shortness of breath. Remember to include soup, ice, ice cream, sherbet and gelatin in your fluid intake

CKD treatments
