“Dialysis patients are often afraid of malnutrition and don’t know how to eat due to the need to receive regular dialysis treatment! Then exactly how should dialysis patients actually eat? I hope that through the introduction of this issue, can provide dialysis patients with certain dietary reference.” 1, enough calories: calories in line with the body’s basic needs, 30 to 35 calories per kilogram of body weight per day, caloric intake is insufficient, will make the body protein decomposition, increase the amount of nitrogen-containing wastes, not only cause malnutrition in addition to increase the burden of dialysis kidney. If you can’t eat enough calories in three meals, you can supplement some nutritional products suitable for dialysis patients as snacks. 2. Choose high quality protein: It is very important to eat enough and good quality protein, which can be used to build repair tissues and increase resistance to avoid infection. Good sources of protein, such as: tofu, dried beans, fish, lean meat, etc., about three servings per day; in addition, please avoid gluten products, white rice should also have a limit on the number of servings, because its protein is not a source of high-quality protein. 3, control sodium ions: too much salt leads to increased blood pressure, increased thirst and edema. It is recommended to choose fresh food and reduce the use of seasonings, such as: salsa, curry, monosodium glutamate, vinegar, ketchup and so on. In addition, prohibit the use of low-sodium salt (because the ingredients are potassium instead of sodium), and reduce the use of cured, processed, and smoked meats. 4, control phosphorus ions: too much phosphorus leads to calcium loss in the blood, easy to cause bone disease, and there are itchy skin and stimulate parathyroid hyperfunction and other problems. Should avoid high-phosphorus foods, such as: dairy, egg yolks, offal, nuts, health sugar, yeast, yogurt, cheese and so on. In addition, red meat is also rich in phosphorus, it is recommended that the daily intake of red meat no more than 2 servings, if necessary, with phosphorus binding agent (calcium tablets). 5. Control potassium ions: High blood potassium can cause serious cardiac arrhythmia and lead to sudden death. Therefore, avoid high-potassium foods, such as chicken essence, chicken broth, thick meat broth, vegetable broth, coffee, tea, sports drinks, Chinese medicine soup and lettuce, etc. Do not mix rice with broth. Every day, you can choose 1 or 2 fist-sized portions of low-potassium fruits, such as pineapple, mango, apple and so on. 6, moderate water intake: too much water can also cause blood pressure to rise, and even cause heart enlargement or pulmonary edema, resulting in breathing difficulties. If the amount of urine is normal, there is no need to limit the amount of water, if the amount of urine decreases, then you need to limit the amount of water. The amount of water is based on the previous day’s urine volume plus 500-700 ml of water as the amount needed. Avoid excessive soups, drinks, and reduce the consumption of diluted rice. If you are very thirsty, you can make small ice cubes from the day’s water and hold them in your mouth when you are thirsty or drink water to rinse your mouth and quench your thirst with plums. Please make it a habit to measure your body weight every day, and the weight gain before each dialysis should not be more than 5% of your dry weight, i.e., the weight between two dialysis sessions should be controlled within 2kg, and should not be more than 3kg at the most. Avoiding high-fat food: The chance of dialysis patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases and dying is more than 50%, such as myocardial infarction and stroke, etc. Therefore, to prevent cardiovascular diseases, please avoid taking too much fat, especially reducing the intake of saturated and trans-fatty acids, and avoiding the consumption of saturated and trans-fatty acids. Therefore, to prevent cardiovascular diseases, please avoid excessive fat intake, especially reduce the intake of saturated and trans fatty acids, and avoid deep-fried and high-fat foods, such as: sausage, pig’s feet, fatty meat, pizza, lard, coffee milk balls and various fried snacks. These are the seven major dietary tips that dialysis patients need to pay attention to! In addition, it is very important to maintain a proper activity level and keep your mood happy! Please always remember that “living a rich life full of laughter” is always the best way to make your body repair faster and stronger!
