If you notice blood in your urine along with swelling in your face or legs and extreme fatigue, see a urologist or nephrologist immediately. A simple urine routine test can detect protein loss. Drinking enough water and controlling diabetes and blood pressure can help extend the life of your kidneys.
Excessive blood in your urine may be due to the weakening of the filters in your kidneys. Here are some dietary changes you should make to fix this condition and protect your kidneys:
1. Avoid these:
Excessive salt: The sodium in salt increases blood pressure and puts an extra burden on your kidneys. Avoid pickles, papadum, and dried fish.
Red Meat: The kidneys have to work harder to digest the high levels of protein in beef and mutton.
Processed foods: Preservatives in packaged chips, noodles, and canned foods are harmful to your kidneys.
