Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Lonnie, Keeping the sodium down while on prednisone is probably a very good idea. My doctors haven't mentioned it to me, but I am having terrible problems with fluid retention. Thanks for the info. W [ ] Re: "red meat" *1,000 to 1,5000 milligrams of sodium>>:My doctor and nutritionist have told me that for those on prednisone, it's important to keep the sodium levels below 1,000 if possible. Prednisone (along with liver disease itself) can cause edema and excess sodium can make it worse.Lonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 FYI, Kidney Int Suppl. 2003 Feb;(83):S131-4. Nephrology in Latin America, with special emphasis on Brazil. Zatz R, Romao JE Jr, Noronha IL. Renal Division, Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sao o, Sao o, Brazil. Latin America constitutes a complex universe that shows extreme variation regarding socioeconomic and human development. Brazil is the largest and most populous Latin American country, and combines characteristics encountered in developed countries with problems typically associated with the poorest regions of the world. These disparities condition the profile of renal disease in Brazil, with glomerulonephritis still the leading cause of ESRD. Little is known about the epidemiology of renal disease in the Brazilian (or Latin American) native population, which is numerous in some Central and South American countries, but constitute a very small minority in Brazil. However, interesting information has been obtained from the Yanomamis, a tribe living in Northern Brazil and Southern Venezuela. Hypertension is virtually absent among these people, who ingest very little sodium, lending strong support to the concept that sodium retention, a "civilization" factor, plays a role in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension. Despite Brazil's striking socioeconomic disparities, access to RRT is in principle accessible to all those in need of it. The dialysis units have been modernized in recent years, whereas the Government covers most expenses related to RRT. However, the prevalence of RRT in Brazil is currently approximately 320 per million population, less than one third as high as in the US, suggesting that ESRD may be underdiagnosed in the country. Much effort is still needed to limit the prevalence of renal disease and to improve the quality and the reach of RRT in Brazil and in Latin America.
