How to Stop the Further Increase of BUN 29 with PKD

2014-09-03 08:16

Normal range of fasting BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) is 9-20 mg/dL or 3.2-7.1 mmol/L. Similar with creatinine, urea nitrogen can also pass through kidney freely, so BUN level is also used as an indicator for kidney function inmedicine. BUN 29 is higher than the normal range. Further increase of BUN level means deterioration of kidney condition, so stopping BUN from becoming higher and higher is very important. Well, for a PKD patient whose BUN level is 29, what can he do to stop the further increase of it?

Treatment to stop further kidney damages

Urea nitrogen is the end product of protein which is the basic of life. Urea nitrogen is removed out of the body with urine while passing through kidney with blood. Therefore, a healthy kidney is very important for normal BUN level. For PKD patients, large kidney cysts damage surrounding kidney tissues, leading to decline of kidney function. Therefore, shrinking kidney cysts is very important to stop the further increase of BUN level. For PKD patients with BUN 29, they can take Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to get their cysts in kidney shrunk.

Low-protein diet is also necessary for the tight control of BUN level

As we have mentioned above, urea nitrogen is the end product of protein, so when PKD patients consume too much protein, large amounts of urea nitrogen will be produced, which can lead to elevation of BUN directly. BUN 29 is already higher than the normal range, so try to reduce the formation of urea nitrogen is very important. For this reason, low-protein diet is needed by PKD patients. Besides, high quality protein can be fully used in our body, so having high quality protein also contributes to the tight control of BUN level. In daily diet, foods like egg white, fish, and lean meat are suggested for PKD patients who have high BUN level.

Lastly, BUN level becomes higher and higher because urea nitrogen in the blood can not be removed timely. Therefore, if PKD patients really want to lower their BUN 29 down to the normal range, strengthening kidney to improve kidney function plays a decisive role.
