Is It Safe To Increase Protein Intake While Having Pancreas Deficiency And On Kidney Dialysis?
I have pancreas deficiency. I am on kidney dialysis & my dr wants me to increase my protein to 100 g a day. Is this safe? Since I started trying to do this I have been vomiting. So I know I am not getting the protein out of what I eat. Oh by the way I am on Creon to help with the digestion.
As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon,i understand your anxiety. In people on dialysis,protein intake is restricted to 40gm/day. If your body weight is more,depending on B.P.and electrolytes,it may go up. It's best decided,in consultation with your nephrologist. The vomitting may be, due to increase in creatinine,electrolyte imbalance or even insulin deficiency.The insulin dosage will need to be adjusted. Creon is pancreatic enzymes supplement,given with caution in renal failure. Your nephrologist may ask to stop it.You may send doubts to me directly. Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
