Nephrotic syndrome is a serious kidney disease that can affect the patient's normal excretion, leading to an imbalance of the internal environment and causing serious harm to the patient. However, there are still significant deficiencies in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, so patients should pay attention to the health care of nephrotic syndrome in their daily lives. Below, we will introduce the dietary health care of nephrotic syndrome patients.
1. Fat intake
For patients with nephrotic syndrome, the majority of patients are accompanied by hyperlipidemia, which can cause arteriosclerosis, glomerular damage, sclerosis, etc., thereby limiting the patient's intake of cholesterol and fatty foods such as animal organs, fat, and certain seafood. So patients and friends should pay more attention when consuming fat
2. Sodium salt intake
The most common characteristic of patients with nephrotic syndrome is edema. When patients experience edema, they should enter a low salt diet to avoid worsening the edema. It is generally recommended to consume no more than 2g of salt per day, avoid pickled foods, and use less monosodium glutamate and alkaloids. When the swelling subsides and the blood plasma protein is close to normal, a normal diet can be restored.
3 Protein intake
Proteinuria is one of the common features of patients with nephrotic syndrome, and proteinuria is due to the abnormal kidney of patients who cannot filter the protein in the urine, resulting in a large amount of protein loss, resulting in malnutrition. Hypoalbuminemia causes the decrease of plasma colloid osmotic pressure, resulting in persistent edema, and the decline of body resistance.
4. Supplement of trace elements
Patients should pay attention to the supplementation of trace elements. Generally speaking, with the loss of proteinuria, a large amount of trace elements in the body will also be lost, and some trace elements and hormones that bind to protein will also be lost, resulting in a lack of calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and other elements in the human body. Therefore, appropriate supplementation should be given.
Patients with nephrotic syndrome should follow the above requirements in their diet, and pay more attention to fat input, sodium salt intake, protein intake, and trace element supplementation in their nephrotic diet, in order to strengthen the treatment of nephrotic syndrome.
