Diet for Children with Kidney Failure
Protein
Children who experience chronic renal failure should not consume too much protein because it will burden the kidney work is being tergangu function. Because the kidneys function to filter the protein in the urine. Here is the protein dose for a child with kidney failure:
0-6 months ie 2.5 to 3 grams / kg body weight per day
6-12 months ie 1.2 to 2.1 grams / kg body weight per day
1-2 years ie 1 to 1.8 grams / kg body weight per day
More than 2 years ie 1 to 1.5 grams / kg body weight per day
Meanwhile, if a child who has kidney failure and must do dialysis then the protein needs increased, because the protein will be more wasted through the urine. Then the need is as follows:
0-6 months ie 2.6 grams / kg body weight per day
6-12 months ie 2 grams / kg body weight per day
1-6 years is 1.6 grams / kg body weight per day
7-14 years ie 1.4 grams / kg body weight per dayCarbohydrates
Children who have kidney failure need 50-65 percent of their total caloric needs per day, Mom should avoid children consuming refined carbohydrate foods such as biscuits, bread and cake products, as these foods have high sodium.Fat
Fat requirement for children with kidney failure is about 30% of total calories, and preferably unsaturated fats. As for saturated fat is limited to 10% of total fat requirement.Sodium
Avoid foods that contain high sodium (salt), salted fish, salted eggs, and processed foods containing sodium.Liquid
Incoming fluids are adjusted with urine out, because if too much to drink, it will affect the performance of the kidneys.
