Dietary plan for chronic kidney disease patients with metabolic disorders of potassium and phosphorus

At present, many patients with chronic kidney disease may experience electrolyte metabolism disorders such as potassium and phosphorus due to the disease itself or dietary choices. Therefore, for patients with electrolyte disorders such as potassium and phosphorus, it is extremely important to choose a reasonable dietary plan. Today we will bring you three options for you to choose from.

Summary:

Option 1: Correct selection of food to improve cooking methods

Option 2: Choose foods for special medical purposes

Option 3: Choose low protein staple foods and seasonings

Option 1

Choose foods that are relatively low in phosphorus and potassium. It is best to ration them according to the recommendation of the dietitian or doctor, and use special cooking methods to remove part of potassium and phosphorus. The advantage of this plan is that it does not require special ingredients, but cooking is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it unsuitable for patients with existing malnutrition and poor eating habits.

Potassium in food is mostly concentrated in the husks, peels, and muscles, and is easily soluble in water. The potassium content in fine grains, peeled fruits, and fat meat is lower than that in coarse grains, peeled fruits, and lean meat. Strong vegetable soup, fruit juice, and broth also contain more potassium. Here are a few potassium rich foods:

Tips

Foods with low potassium content can also cause hyperkalemia if consumed excessively! It is better to mix food under the guidance of a dietitian to ensure adequate nutrition and avoid excessive intake of high potassium food.

Phosphorus rich foods include cereals, nuts, animal foods such as anchovy, sardine, Roast squab, sea crabs, hairtail, dried beans and their bean products such as Rolls of dried bean milk creams, black beans, tofu skin, soybeans, etc., and foods containing phosphorus additives such as various beverages and processed meat products. Fast food, fast food, cheese and other products.

Option 2

Choose foods for special medical purposes or choose high-quality proteins with low phosphorus and potassium. This scheme does not need special food materials, does not take time, and is convenient to use. It is suitable for patients with malnutrition and poor food intake. The effect of high energy, low protein, and low phosphorus can be achieved through the appropriate proportion of dietitian. However, the cost of industrialized special medical purpose foods has increased, increasing the economic burden on patients.

Option 3

The compliance of chronic kidney disease patients to change their eating habits and lifestyle is not high, even with the guidance of clinical dietitian, it is difficult to implement in real life. Therefore, low protein rice, low protein noodles, and low protein seasonings can be selected. As shown in the figure below, low protein rice contains 0mg of potassium and 19.7mg of phosphorus per 100g, which is much lower than ordinary rice (49mg of potassium and 106mg of phosphorus per 100g). The advantages are that it is close to daily dietary habits, has good compliance, is not time-consuming, and is convenient to use. It is suitable for patients without malnutrition and can eat well. However, this type of food ingredient that requires special industrial processing also increases its cost.
