title: [Cult of the body and the kidneys].
abstract: Fashion for a healthy lifestyle, muscular and athletic silhouette change our approach to diet. Sports sculpture highlighting the body forces the consumption of larger quantities of proteins than the commonly recommended optimum protein, which is 1 g/kg b.w./24 hours. Raises the question whether or not damages the kidneys? A protein-rich diet has the same haemodynamic effects on the kidneys as well as starvation. In diabetic nephropathy consumed a moderate reduction of protein slows the progression of renal failure, but such actions are not significant restrictions protein. It seems that the protein intake has adverse effects contained in them, salt (up to 3% by weight!). Persons undergoing dialysis should consume at least 1.5 g protein/kg b.w./24 hours. Even more is recommended for sport's people. Both resistance exercise and aerobic are necessary to maintain proper physical fitness and muscle mass, which provides better and longer survival. Everything is banned in competitive sports is recommended in dialysis: EPO, anabolic steroids, growth hormone.
