Let’s talk about the benefits of keto for the kidneys.

High insulin and high glucose create oxidative damage to four tissues:
1. The brain and nerves
2. The heart and vessels
3. The eyes
4. The kidneys

An interesting study done on mice over eight weeks showed a complete reversal of the albumin/creatine ratio using the ketogenic diet. Over eight weeks, there was also a partial recovery of kidney damage.

The ketone, beta-hydroxybutyrate, can provide an alternative fuel for the kidneys and has other interesting benefits for the kidneys, including reducing oxidative stress. Keto may be able to counter the damage and destruction of a high-carb diet and is very therapeutic for the kidneys.

If a person has stage five kidney disease or end-stage renal failure, the kidneys can no longer filter the blood. At this stage, you need to check with your doctor before taking potassium.

However, before this stage, you may be able to take potassium to help protect the kidneys against damage. The body needs 4700 mg of potassium every day.

Taking certain oral amino acids may be beneficial to help slow down the progression of kidney problems. A nutrient-dense low-carb diet is also essential. Talk to your doctor about any new supplements or diet changes.
