Q.Assertion (A) : Protein intake is restricted in the management of patients with mild and moderate renal insufficiency. Reason (R) : To allow for optimal protein use, 50% to 60% of proteins should be of high biologic value. Codes :
Correct answer: Both (A) and (R) are correct
Explanation
In patient with mild and moderate renal insufficiency protein intake is restricted because the patient is not able to excrete the nitrogen waste. 50% to 60% of high biological value of protein should be allowed because high biological protein is mostly absorbed and leave less residue and have less burden on kidney.
