How to treat high BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) level for kidney failure patients? This is a common question for kidney failure patients when they suffer from high BUN level. Similar with creatinine, the BUN level will not be changed when the kidneys can still work normal or the kidney function is more than 50%. However, when the kidney function is less than 50%, the BUN level will increase as well. So kidney failure patients need to pay attention to when their BUN level is higher than the normal range.

Urea nitrogen is the main terminal product of protein metabolism in body, and it is mainly excreted by kidneys. When the kidneys are damaged severely, the BUN level will be higher than the normal level 2.86-7.14 mmol/L. When kidney failure patients suffer from high BUN level, they may also suffer from some other severe symptoms such as high creatinine level, high blood pressure, poor appetite, electrolyte disturbance, metabolic acidosis and abnormal urinalysis. In this condition, kidney failure patients need to have effective treatment to lower their high BUN level and protect their residual kidney function.

Here are some suggestions for kidney failure patients to lower their BUN level and improve their kidney function.

- Limit the protein intake

In order to reduce the produce of protein metabolism, kidney failure patients need to limit their protein intake in their daily diet, which can also reduce the kidney burden and protect the residual kidney function. And patients need to take high quality protein, which produce less BUN in blood, and the suggested high quality protein include lean meat, fish and egg white. And the amount of protein intake should depending on their own illness condition.

- Take more calories

Kidney failure patients can take more calories, which can help reduce the consumption of protein in body and cause less BUN. The calories can be got from carbohydrate and fat, so kidney failure can take more carbohydrate and fat in their daily diet, and they also need to take more foods which are high in vitamin B and vitamin C.

- Treatment to improve kidney function

Since the high BUN level is mainly caused by low kidney function, so patients need to have effective treatment to improve their kidney function, which can help lower their BUN level fundamentally.

Here we recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which can help repair the damaged kidney tissues, improve the self-healing of renal inherent cells, and improve the kidney function. Once the kidney function is improved, the severe symptoms and complications can also be relieved as well.

When kidney failure patients suffer from high BUN level, they need to have prompt and effective treatment to lower their BUN level, which can help slow down the progression of kidney failure. If you want to get more information about lower high BUN level, you can leave a message below.
