  The prevalence of chronic kidney disease in China is as high as about 10%, chronic kidney disease stage 1-4 to conservative treatment, while stage 3-4 as dialysis and kidney transplantation before the gateway, take various measures to improve the effect of conservative treatment is particularly important. Experts pointed out that chronic kidney disease 3-4 stage over the winter, remember not to drink the old fire soup, but also eat less salty, to prevent edema.  More salt to kidney water Wanted edema easy to lead to blood pressure rise Chronic kidney disease patients must strictly control the intake of water. Suffering from chronic kidney disease, patients with hematuria, proteinuria, problems with kidney biopsy pathology, ultrasound examination showing changes in kidney morphology, or a decline in kidney function, are especially prone to edema.  In winter, even in general, sweating will be significantly reduced, and winter is the most difficult season for chronic kidney disease patients to control the water balance. According to Chinese medical theory, the kidney meridian is strong in winter, and the kidney is mainly salty, when salty eat more, it will kidney water more vigorous, more likely to cause edema, but also easy to cause blood pressure to rise. “Therefore patients with chronic kidney disease should pay particular attention to eat less salty.”  Reduce protein intake wheat starch instead of rice as a staple Chronic kidney disease stage 3-4 over the winter, the dietary principles should be high quality and low protein. Low protein means that the total protein intake is kept at 0.6g protein/kg/day, and the exact amount can be calculated with the help of physicians or dietitians. Generally speaking, the intake of lean meat, chicken, fish, eggs, milk and other high quality protein foods should preferably account for more than 60% of the total daily protein intake.  In addition, if patients with chronic kidney disease do not have combined diabetes, they should ensure an adequate supply of calories on the basis of protein control. “Wheat-starch foods representing rice can be used as a daily staple food as much as possible.” He explained that because wheat-starch foods contain much less protein than rice, they can ensure energy supply without increasing protein intake. Finished products in this food group include: horsetail cake, silver needle flour, vermicelli and lotus root flour, or purchase your own wheat starch to make noodles, dumplings and steamed buns. If you have diabetes, you should also limit your intake of sugar, honey, sugar water, sugary drinks, etc.  For the old favorite soup, Wu Yifan reminded, do not blindly tonic, chronic kidney disease patients should remember not to drink old soup, including meat juice, chicken soup, bone broth, fish soup, etc.. Also do not eat animal offal, seafood, beer and other high purine food, so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys.    The first day, go to bed early to maintain the body’s Yang energy; the next day, get up after the sun comes out to nourish the body’s Yin energy; extend the time of sleep and reduce various activities, which can play the effect of energy collection.  In terms of disease prevention, chronic kidney disease patients themselves are not very good at vascular function because of the effects of urotoxins and hypertension, so it is more important to pay attention to the cold to protect the blood vessels to prevent accidents. It is a must for kidney disease patients to add clothes to keep warm and prevent cold, and it is even more important to produce fluid and moisten dryness. You can eat more food such as silver fungus, tofu, lily, honey, japonica rice, green leafy vegetables, and fruits with nourishing effect of Yin such as pear, apple and grape.
