Chronic nephritis, also known as chronic glomerulonephritis, has different forms of onset and is difficult to treat, bringing great harm to patients. Therefore, in daily life, once suffering from chronic nephritis, it is necessary to treat it as soon as possible without delay. In addition, it is also important to pay attention to daily diet. A scientific and reasonable diet can help treat diseases, but dietary taboos should also be noted. So, what should chronic nephritis patients not eat in their diet?
1. The diet for chronic nephritis is mainly light, and strong seasonings such as pepper, mustard, curry, chili, etc. are not suitable for kidney function and should be avoided. Due to the thirst and desire to drink after consuming too much monosodium glutamate, it should also be used less when limiting the amount of water consumed.
2. Patients with chronic nephritis should limit their intake of plant protein, and the daily intake should depend on renal function. When patients experience oliguria, edema, hypertension, and nitrogen retention, the daily protein intake should be controlled at 20-40 grams to reduce the burden on the kidneys and avoid the accumulation of non protein nitrogen in the body. Especially plant proteins contain a large amount of alkaloids, which can aggravate the intermediate metabolism of the kidneys. Therefore, it is not advisable to use beans and soy products as nutritional supplements. Beans and bean products include soybeans, mung beans, broad beans, soybean milk, tofu, etc.
3. Be sure to stay away from high fat foods and try to restrain yourself. Due to the symptoms of hypertension and anemia in patients with chronic nephritis, animal fat is a disadvantageous factor for hypertension and anemia, as fat can exacerbate arteriosclerosis and inhibit hematopoietic function. Therefore, patients with chronic nephritis should not consume too much. But if there is no fat intake in chronic nephritis, the body will become even weaker. Therefore, vegetable oil can be used as a substitute in daily life, at around 60 grams per day.
4. The diet for chronic nephritis should be scientific and reasonable. In order to reduce the burden on the kidney, foods that stimulate kidney cells should be limited, such as spinach, celery, radish, beans, bean products, sardine and chicken soup, fish soup, broth, etc. Because these foods contain high levels of purines and nitrogen, their metabolites cannot be excreted in a timely manner when kidney function is poor, which has a negative impact on kidney function.
The above has detailed the dietary taboos for chronic nephritis, and I believe everyone has a better understanding. In the daily diet of kidney disease, patients with chronic nephritis must pay more attention, maintain good dietary habits, actively cooperate with doctors' treatment, and strive to recover their health as soon as possible.
