In the process of treating chronic nephritis, how to do a good job in the diet of chronic nephritis? Reasonable diet can reduce the renal burden of chronic nephritis while ensuring patients' normal nutritional needs. For patients with chronic nephritis, a reasonable diet for chronic nephritis is very important.
How to do a good job in the diet of chronic nephritis? First of all, patients should avoid eating.
1、 Patients with nephritis should limit their consumption of protein
For patients with chronic nephritis, the intake of protein should be limited, as protein can form ammonia containing compounds in the body, and when excreted in the kidneys, it can increase the burden on the kidneys. For those with a long course of disease and moderate renal function damage, there is no need to strictly limit protein in food, but it should not exceed 1g per kg of body weight per day, with high-quality protein accounting for more than 50%. When there is azotemia, limit the protein according to the condition.
2、 Patients with nephritis should limit the use of foods containing sodium
Nephritis patients are prone to edema and hypertension. When the sodium content in the patient's body is high, it is easy to cause nephritis edema. Patients with nephritis should limit salt consumption to 2 to 3 grams per day. When edema is severe, it is even necessary to take a salt free diet, and regularly check the blood potassium and sodium levels to avoid causing insufficient or insufficient sodium content in the body during polyuria or after long-term sodium restriction.
3、 Patients with nephritis should ensure the supply of heat in the body
Chronic nephritis has a long course of disease, so the patient's internal heat supply must meet the needs of activities. Only when the amount of heat is sufficient, the body's immune capacity will be strengthened, and the rehabilitation of chronic nephritis can be accelerated. Sugar and fat are the main sources of heat energy. Adults require approximately 8368 to 10032 kilojoules (2000 to 2400 kilocalories) of thermal energy per day.
The above describes how patients with chronic nephritis should eat well. The diet of patients with nephritis should limit protein and sodium while maintaining body calories. In the treatment of chronic nephritis, as long as these points are achieved, the treatment of chronic nephritis can be accelerated.
