How To Treat And Manage Renal Osteodystrophy

Limit Dark Sodas And Similar Drinks

Most doctors advise patients with renal osteodystrophy to limit dark sodas and similar drinks. This is the first step to manage your condition properly. Dark sodas contain very high levels of phosphorus, which is not healthy. When you have the disease, it means your kidneys are not functioning normally. Taking in dark sodas is likely to lead to high levels of phosphorus in the blood. The high concentration will lead to the overworking of the parathyroid glands in secreting its hormone to draw calcium from the bones. Continuous consumption of dark drinks weakens the bones in the long run. Other drinks to avoid include cocoa and beer. When it is mandatory to drink soda, drink clear ones rather than a dark one.
