The dietary program for dialysis patients is mainly based on high-quality, high protein, low-fat, low-sodium food, other attention should also be paid to low potassium and low phosphorus diet, and the intake of water should also be controlled. However, it is also necessary to ensure a balanced and comprehensive diet, so as not to cause a single nutrition, causing discomfort.
1. High quality and high protein: the protein intake of hemodialysis patients is recommended to reach 1.2g/kg/d, and the protein intake of peritoneal dialysis patients can be increased appropriately, and at least 50% of the protein intake should be high quality protein, such as eggs, fish, milk, etc. The proportion of various amino acids is more important than that of other amino acids. The proportion of various kinds of amino acids in high-quality protein is more reasonable, which can be better absorbed by the body.
2. Low fat: excessive fat intake will increase the digestive pressure of kidney and gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, for dialysis patients, reducing fat intake appropriately and choosing high-quality fat such as olive oil as the main source of intake can effectively reduce fat accumulation.
3. Low sodium: Dialysis process will cause certain damage to the liver and kidney function, thus affecting the water reabsorption and metabolic cycle. Therefore, dietary sodium intake should be controlled, with 6 grams per day as the upper limit, which can effectively reduce water retention.
It is recommended that dialysis patients consult regular hospitals and follow the doctor’s instructions to adjust their dietary structure and adopt a healthy lifestyle to slow down the progression of the disease.
