Presentation
In the present study, we investigated the impact of a low-protein diet on patients' nutritional status in a longitudinal cohort study in peritoneal dialysis patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Fatigue
Without enough of these amino acids, the body starts to experience the subtle signs of low oxygen, which typically manifests itself as low energy levels, fatigue and tiredness. [stack.com]
If the person has trouble excreting urine, like many patients with a compromised liver or kidneys, the waste from nitrogen builds up in the bloodstream causing nausea, headaches, fatigue, and further damage to the liver and kidneys. [arizonadigestivehealth.com]
Far from increasing energy, that eating style might leave you fatigued and nauseated. Constipation can also be a problem because animal-based protein sources provide little or no fiber. [consumerreports.org]
Weakness or Fatigue If you're generally getting enough sleep but still feel tired all the time or that you don't have enough energy to do the things you want to do, low protein intake could be a factor. [healthyeating.sfgate.com]
When the kidneys are not functioning properly, urea can build up in the system and cause fatigue and a loss of appetite. To help remedy this problem, you can eat specific foods to lower your protein levels. [livestrong.com]
- Noncompliance
RESULTS: Decline rate of GFR, elevation of Cr and BUN and reduction in 1/Cr were significantly lower in compliant patients than in noncompliant patients (p CONCLUSION: LPD therapy is effective in suppressing the progression of CRF when it is well-adhered [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Disability
Your requirements are higher if you have a stress such as trauma, surgery, hospitalization or a chronic disability. Growing children, pregnant women and older people have higher protein needs too. [blogs.davita.com]
Treatment
Dietary treatment improved 0.09 QALYs after 2 years, 0.16 after 3 years, 0.36 after 5 years, and up to 0.93 incremental QALYs after the first 10 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
[…] essential amino acids and keto-analogues allows a considerable reduction of the protein intake to be achieved which brings about reduction of glomerular hyperfiltration which actually retards the progression of renal failure and improves its short-term prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Conclusion and future research A diet intervention by LPD has modest but significant effects on the course of kidney prognosis in patients with diabetic nephropathy, especially when the intervention is sustainable regarding patients’ compliance. [bmjopen.bmj.com]

Prevention
BACKGROUND: While a low-protein diet may preserve residual renal function (RRF) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients before the start of dialysis, a high-protein intake is usually recommended in dialysis patients to prevent protein-energy wasting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

They also prevent fatty buildup and damage to the liver cells. In people with badly damaged livers, proteins are not properly processed. Waste products may build up and affect the brain. [medlineplus.gov]
