The good habit of health preservation has actually damaged the kidneys! How can kidney disease patients avoid further kidney injury

Many kidney disease patients believe that if their kidneys are damaged, they need to be "replenished". This idea is not wrong, the correct way to nourish the kidneys is certainly feasible; However, there are many patients who have misconceptions that tonifying the kidney is too much, but it actually increases the burden on the kidneys.

Next, let's count in detail the "health preserving behaviors" that do not harm the kidneys but do not benefit the kidneys:

Additional protein supplementation

Some patients with protein leakage feel that if they lose too much protein, they need to make up for it, so they will also drink protein powder in addition to their daily diet. However, in reality, protein leakage indicates that kidney function has been damaged, and additional protein intake can increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys, harming them invisibly.

Eating meat multiple times

Kidney patients have many dietary taboos. But some patients, due to their lack of understanding of the situation, repeatedly consume traditional kidney tonifying meats such as lamb, kidney, and pig liver, ultimately leading to worsening of the condition.

In fact, lamb is hot, pig liver is high in cholesterol, and kidneys are rich in heavy metals and contain a lot of fat. Either type is not suitable for kidney disease patients to consume.

Waiting for the cold to heal itself

Cold is one of the most common factors that cause kidney disease recurrence. But many patients, after catching a cold, believe that waiting for it to heal itself can improve their body's disease resistance, so it is difficult to treat for a long time. This can easily exacerbate a cold and lead to a recurrence of kidney disease.

Eating a large amount of vegetables and fruits

Eating vegetables and fruits is a good way to supplement vitamins and fiber, but it's not necessarily better to eat more. Because the vast majority of beneficial vegetables and fruits are high in potassium, it is easy for patients with low kidney potassium excretion ability to exacerbate hyperkalemia and endanger cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

In addition, extensive exercise, consumption of leeks, drinking medicinal wine, and taking tonics are all behaviors that ordinary people use to strengthen their kidneys, while patients use them to harm their kidneys. So everyone must pay attention in daily life.

To avoid these kidney damaging behaviors, patients need to follow the principle of moderation, accumulate and master scientific health knowledge, not blindly follow others' kidney nourishing behaviors, follow the advice of doctors or experts, and cooperate with authoritative hospitals for treatment. Treating kidney disease is a matter of planning in the doctor, achieving success in oneself! So, everyone must strictly follow the doctor's advice and not "nourish the kidneys" without authorization
