Adequate attention should be paid to renal insufficiency, and special attention should be paid to the diet of renal insufficiency. Patients with renal insufficiency must master what to eat and what aspects to pay attention to, in order to cure the disease faster.
1. How to limit salt intake in patients with kidney disease
Regardless of the type of kidney disease, as long as there is edema, it is necessary to limit salt intake. When edema is obvious, it should be limited to less than 1 gram per day, and in severe cases, it may even require a salt free diet. The purpose of low salt diet is to reduce the retention of water and sodium in the body, so that edema subsides and blood pressure drops. For a diet with renal insufficiency, strict attention should be paid to salt intake, and the diet should be mainly light.
2. How to Eat Vegetables and Fruits for Kidney Disease Patients
Kidney patients should eat more vegetables and fruits to provide sufficient vitamins if their urine output is generally normal, without oliguria or renal failure. If the patient's urine volume decreases, especially when it is less than 500 milliliters per day, it is necessary to selectively consume vegetables and fruits. Because vegetables and fruits are generally rich in potassium, while patients with kidney disease and oliguria have elevated serum potassium levels. Excessive blood potassium can lead to sudden cardiac arrest and endanger life.
3. Diet with renal insufficiency should pay attention to the rationality of having three meals a day.
(1) Main and non-staple food for breakfast: 100ml fresh milk and 50g white sugar can be used, or lotus root powder and white sugar can be mixed into a bowl of boiling water, and several wheat starch biscuits can be added, or a small amount of fried potatoes or an egg can be added.
(2) Lunch staple food: wheat starch Mantou, Youbing (Deep-fried round and flat dough-cake), dumplings, steamed buns, Wonton, etc.
(3) Dinner staple food: Choose the same staple food as lunch.
