high protein Diets

The idea exists that the rich protein diets cause disease of the kidney. This rumor is false, the proteins are not detrimental to the kidneys of a normal animal.

When the organism of an animal digests and metaboliza the protein, nitrogen compounds are freed, the excess is excreted by the renal system. A rich protein diet simply produces more nitrogen deriving and the kidneys excrete the excess.
Whereas the increase of work of the kidneys could be evaluated that, it would take to a renal damage, this is not thus, the kidney it has a great filtrate capacity of substances, is so effective that many people and animals with a single kidney take an absolutely normal life.

The myth that the rich protein diets probably affected the kidneys began because, before the patients with renales problems, him adminmistraba a poor protein diet to be avoided a great concentration of nitrogen remainders. Now to those patients a diet is administered to him who have proteins of better quality and with less nitrogen metabolitos, because if the kidney does not excrete the nitrogen remainders, these can damage other trejidos and intoxicate (metabolic poisoning) the animal.

Unless the veterinarian does not determine that the animal has a problem of the severe kidney to modify the protein ingestion, it is possible to be fed with a rich protein diet without worrying ?to damage? or ?to prearrange? to an injury of the kidneys of the animal. Either, a ?good health? for the kidneys cannot be assured feeding with a diet of low proteins.
