There are many different types of nephritis, and a daily diet is generally recommended with low sodium, vitamin-rich foods such as rice, potatoes, bitter melon, strawberries and goat’s milk. Some patients may also need to choose foods that are low in phosphorus (e.g. winter melon), low in potassium (e.g. apple) and high in dietary fibre. It is important to note that the causes of nephritis are complex and in reality each patient’s condition varies, and dietary regimen is only one part of the disease treatment. Your doctor will be able to formulate an appropriate treatment plan and give you reasonable dietary advice according to your specific situation.
