Disclaimer..Hello friend, I'm Dr. Puneet Dhawan welcome to

Karma Ayurveda's special episode. Here, we make you aware of

the reason behind low hemoglobin in kidney patients. Yes,

we will tell you a Sutra that is WEDS

WEDS...W stands for why

the reason for anemia in kidney patients...E stands for Erythropoietin, yes, the injection

what it's the role? D stands for diet

Which diet is effective to increase hemoglobin in kidney patients? S stands for

symptoms of low hemoglobin in kidney patients

So, stay tuned with us and watched the video without skipping.

It is important for kidney patients. Let me tell you

the reason for low hemoglobin in kidney patients, they

need erythropoietin. Yes, erythropoietin increase hemoglobin

and it's produced by kidneys and their nephrons

Due to kidney malfunction, nephrons cannot produce erythropoietin

no issues, it is diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, a side effect of

pain killers, any addiction, or polycystic kidney disease.

Any kidney problem cause low hemoglobin level in kidney patients

It is because erythropoietin is produced by your kidneys

and it is vital for hemoglobin. That is why

kidney patient's hemoglobin decreases. Let's jump to the next topic

The role of erythropoietin...

Many kidney patients after taking 4000 to 10,000 units of erythropoietin injection do not satisfying

result. Why? It is because to increase your hemoglobin number

along with erythropoietin, you need some protein, folic acid, and vitamin B12.

If you consume all these things, you will win and increase your hemoglobin level

Unfortunately, when you take inorganic erythropoietin, it will not increase your hemoglobin level

but will cause more problems for you. It is essential for you

take a balanced diet that contains protein, and folic acid to organically create erythropoietin

and hemoglobin. So, you do not need to inject chemicals into your body for

hemoglobin. For the urgent need of erythropoietin

we will curate a diet plan for you and guide you on how much protein you can take

So, you will consume enough protein and folic acid to make erythropoietin

Let's talk about D that stands for diet, so kidney patients

can increase their hemoglobin only. But, here we pay attention to some things

like we follow a diet to increase hemoglobin

and keep our potassium under control. We have observed that in kidney patients potassium increases very high

Hemoglobin decreases and potassium increases to maintain this imbalance

is important. We have observed that

to increase hemoglobin people generally take pomegranate and beetroot

These two things are referred to as people with a low hemoglobin level

But, due to these two foods, you increase your hemoglobin and potassium. So,

what do we need to do? Can we

take beetroot to increase hemoglobin? Sorry, but beetroot is

not for kidney patients because it will increase hemoglobin and potassium

Elevated levels of potassium cause muscle fatigue

and they stop working properly. Along with that, your heart muscles also become feeble and

stop working. This problem host heart failure. So, potassium

rich foods are not for kidney patients such as beetroot and

vegetables that grow underground. Yes,

kidney patients should avoid foods that grow underground and that are

1. Potato 2. Beetroot 3.Sweet potato 4. Turnip 5.Taro

All these foods are high in potassium and detrimental to

kidney patients. But, we have told you two things to increase hemoglobin, beetroot, and pomegranate

Beetroot is not healthy for kidney patients. So, here is s

pomegranate. Can kidney patients eat pomegranate?

What do you think about pomegranate for kidney patients?

If your potassium level is below four and half

then kidney patients can eat pomegranate

By contrast, your potassium level is more than four and a half, then pomegranate is

not for kidney patients. I will tell you about pomegranate intake

So, to increase your hemoglobin level, you can drink pomegranate juice not its seeds

Keep the pomegranate seeds in your mouth as long as there is juice in it. Suck the juice

and spit out the pomegranate seeds. The juice is for hemoglobin and seeds are for potassium

Remember, pomegranate is only for those whose potassium level is below four and half

Seeds mean potassium and pomegranate juice means hemoglobin. So

by doing this, you will keep your potassium level under control and

increase hemoglobin. Now, let's talk about

the s in WEDS that means symptoms.

Kidney patients with low hemoglobin may observe signs such as

fatigue or tiredness that occurs due to iron deficiency

Along with that, fatigue, you will observe muscle cramps

swelling, pedal edema, facial edema,

periorbital edema that occurs due to

protein loss. Yes, protein is excreting with urine due to which

your cells starting releasing water

and accumulates in some part of your body. This condition occurs due to

low hemoglobin level in your body. Along with these signs, you will observe the loss of appetite.

All these are signs of low hemoglobin in kidney patients
