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, so as to quickly cure the disease.
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 evident, it should be limited to less than 1 gram per day, and even require a salt free diet in severe cases. 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 diets with renal insufficiency, strict attention should be paid to salt intake, and the diet should be light.
2. How to Eat Vegetables and Fruits in Patients with Nephropathy
Patients with kidney disease should eat more vegetables and fruits to provide adequate vitamins if they generally have normal urine output, lack of urination, and renal failure. If the patient's urine volume decreases, especially if it is less than 500 milliliters per day, vegetables and fruits should be selectively consumed. "Because vegetables and fruits are generally rich in potassium, patients with nephrotic oliguria have elevated serum potassium levels.". High blood potassium can lead to sudden cardiac arrest and endanger life.
3. For diets with renal insufficiency, it is important to pay attention to the rationality of eating 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.
