Patients on dialysis can eat bird’s nest, but bird’s nest is not considered as high quality protein, it is recommended that patients try to eat high quality protein, such as meat, eggs and other foods.
As dialysis patients will purify their blood through dialysis, they can eat some proteins appropriately to ensure their immunity. Bird’s nest belongs to high-protein food and can be eaten in moderation.
Dialysis patients should avoid high salt, high fat, high purine, high phosphorus diet, and bird’s nest is not between the above requirements, so also need to eat in moderation.
However, bird’s nest itself does not cover all the essential amino acids and is not considered as a kind of high quality protein. Patients still need to try to eat high quality proteins, such as beans, milk, meat, eggs and other foods.
Meanwhile, bird’s nest belongs to processed products, in the process of processing may manually add a certain amount of phosphorus, and high-phosphorus food may cause post-dialysis hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients, so add phosphorus bird’s nests should be avoided as much as possible.
Secondly, bird’s nest is usually more expensive, and dialysis is a long-term treatment, chronic disease patients’ own spending is larger, so it is recommended to abstain from eating meat, eggs and milk and other high-quality protein to supplement protein, rather than using bird’s nest to supplement protein.
It is recommended that dialysis patients go to regular hospitals in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment and diet.
