Many kidney atrophy, patients are accompanied by poor dietary habits, so the most important cause of kidney atrophy disease is the patient’s improper diet, to prevent kidney atrophy occurs, we must pay attention to the science of diet in our daily life. 1. renal atrophy patients usually pay attention to the intake of low-salt and low-fat food. Kidney disease such as edema or hypertension, should limit the amount of salt, the general daily intake of salt to 2-4g is appropriate. Because low-salt diet helps to avoid water and sodium retention, prevent aggravation of edema and hypertension. Low fat: fat can cause arteriosclerosis, and nephropathy itself is a manifestation of renal arteriosclerosis, so we should use more vegetable fat and less animal fat. 2.
Kidney atrophy patients can usually take sufficient amount of high quality low protein, too much protein intake can increase the burden on the kidneys, so the total amount of protein intake should be controlled. But protein as an important nutrient, the human body can not be missing, especially essential amino acids are not synthesized by the body itself must be ingested from outside, so high quality protein containing more essential amino acids should be guaranteed. Insufficient calories will use the body’s own protein, which will increase creatinine and urea nitrogen and aggravate the disease, so it is extremely important to make up sufficient calories. In a low protein diet, the calorie supply must be sufficient to maintain normal physiological needs. 4. Low potassium diet, hyperkalemia is one of the most common complications of chronic renal failure. Severe hyperkalemia can induce cardiac arrest and other life-threatening conditions, so you should be very vigilant. To prevent hyperkalemia, daily potassium intake should be limited to less than 2g, and high potassium foods should be consumed with caution. The above is the introduction to the daily diet of patients with renal atrophy, diet is a very important part of our life, we must master the nutritional and scientific nature of the diet, once found their kidney discomfort performance, timely to the hospital to receive professional diagnosis and examination.
