What should nephrotic syndrome diet pay attention to

summary

I have a friend suffering from a very serious nephrotic syndrome. At ordinary times, there is obvious edema in the whole body. The urine protein is too high and the serum protein is too low. He always gets up at night to go to the toilet. He urinates frequently and urgently, but the treatment is very difficult. Now let's talk about the diet of nephrotic syndrome.

What should nephrotic syndrome diet pay attention to

First: nephrotic syndrome diet should pay attention to protein intake: nephrotic syndrome patients often have negative nitrogen balance, such as high protein diet. It is possible to turn to a positive nitrogen balance. If there are enough calories and protein in the diet of nephrotic syndrome patients, the high protein intake of nephrotic syndrome patients will lead to the increase of proteinuria and aggravate the degree of glomerular damage. Therefore, the intake of protein should be based on the needs of maintaining the body, and should be mainly high-quality protein, such as fish, meat, milk, eggs and so on.

Second: the diet of nephrotic syndrome should be light: Patients with nephrotic syndrome may have edema during high-dose hormone treatment, they should be given low salt diet. Low salt diet requires daily sodium intake between 3-5g, patients can also eat low sodium. In the low salt diet period, do not eat salted duck eggs, salted eggs, pickles and so on. When patients have obvious edema, salt should be banned. Even foods containing sodium (such as soda steamed bread, salty pastry), baking soda, soy sauce, etc. are taboo.

Third: the diet of nephrotic syndrome should be taboo. Foods that stimulate the kidney should be limited, such as chili, mustard, etc. Should choose high calorie food rich in vitamin A, C (sugar free food). For patients with severe edema and oliguria nephrotic syndrome, water intake should be appropriately limited.

matters needing attention

Nephrotic syndrome will lead to a large increase in human urinary protein, so we must pay attention to reduce the protein intake in the diet, but also can not eat, at the same time, the diet must be light, do not eat stimulating food, pay attention to diet while taking medicine.
