Patients with membranous nephropathy can eat pumpkin, and membranous nephropathy is a common pathological type of nephrotic syndrome. Membranous nephropathy should be low salt, low fat and high quality low protein diet, low salt means avoiding pickled foods and salty tasting foods; low fat means avoiding cholesterol and fat rich foods; high quality protein means high bioeffective protein, mainly animal protein, such as fish and chicken protein, and avoiding vegetable protein rich food intake. Because the amount containing essential amino acids is low, the metabolic waste is high, increasing the burden on the kidneys. Pumpkin contains low protein and fat content, so patients with membranous nephropathy can eat pumpkin. However, if membrane nephropathy is combined with diabetes or membrane nephropathy in a large number of oral hormones, resulting in steroid diabetes, because of the high sugar content of pumpkin can increase blood sugar, it is not easy to eat pumpkin at this time. If membrane nephropathy combined with chronic renal failure, glomerular filtration rate <30mL/min, the kidney's ability to excrete potassium decreases, pumpkin is rich in potassium, eat more can lead to hyperkalemia, so patients with membrane nephropathy should not eat pumpkin at this time.
