Q.Assertion (A) : In chronic Renal failure glomerular filtration rate falls to less than 15 ml/min. Reason (R) : The chronic renal failure patients are recommended diets high in protein and sodium. Code :
Correct answer: (A) is correct and (R) is incorrect
Explanation
In chronic renal failure glomerular filtration rate falls to less than 15 ml/min. Diet high in protein and sodium must be restricted. A low protein diet with high Biological value is given to rest kidney. In chronic renal failure sodium is restricted to 500-1000 mg/day. Diet high in sodium can cause water retention and hamper the filtration rate.
