After suffering from a disease, in addition to treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to cultivation, so as to recover faster. Currently, there are many people suffering from kidney disease in society, and we should pay attention to the existence of chronic nephritis. Patients need to pay attention to some matters and reasonable health care, which is helpful for the recovery of the disease. So, what is the maintenance method for patients with chronic nephritis?
1、 Avoid getting cold and wet
Cold can worsen or cause renal artery spasm, and may also worsen symptoms of renal ischemia, affecting the recovery of nephritis. Dampness can lead to the growth and even reproduction of streptococci, causing infection. So keep the patient warm as much as possible and keep the room sunny. Dress appropriately to prevent the patient from getting wet.
2、 Prevention and treatment of streptococcal infection
In order to prevent the recurrence of chronic nephritis, people with chronic nephritis should master some common knowledge about the maintenance of chronic nephritis, such as how to prevent upper respiratory tract infections, chronic pharyngitis, and so on. When the above diseases occur, patients should pay more attention to urine observation, observe whether there are symptoms of nephritis, strive for early detection, early treatment, and regular follow-up observation.
3、 Avoid using harmful drugs
Certain drugs can also cause this disease, so attention should be paid to avoiding taking drugs that damage the kidneys in daily life. No matter what kind of disease you are treating, you should tell your doctor that you have a history of kidney disease and ask them to use them with caution. Thoroughly treat chronic infectious lesions, especially chronic tonsillitis and dental caries, to prevent recurrence of nephritis.
Dietary health care for chronic nephritis
1. Chronic nephritis cannot or less eat high fat foods
Patients with chronic nephritis have symptoms of hypertension and anemia, and animal fat is a negative factor for hypertension and anemia. Because fat can aggravate arteriosclerosis and inhibit hematopoietic function, it is not recommended for patients with chronic nephritis to consume too much. However, if there is no fat intake in chronic nephritis, the body will become even weaker, so vegetable oil can be used instead in daily life, at about 60 grams per day.
2. Chronic nephritis cannot eat a high salt diet
The edema of chronic nephritis has a great relationship with blood volume and sodium salt. Each gram of salt can bring about 110 milliliters of water. If patients with nephritis consume excessive salt, and their urination function is impaired, they often exacerbate edema symptoms, increase blood volume, and cause heart failure. Therefore, it is necessary to limit salt and give a low-salt diet. The daily salt intake should be controlled below 2-4 grams to prevent swelling and increased blood volume from occurring accidents.
3. Limit foods with high levels of purine and nitrogen
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 purine and nitrogen, their metabolites cannot be excreted in a timely manner when renal function is poor, which has a negative impact on renal function.
