Dietary aspects of glomerulonephritis should pay attention to: high-quality and low-protein food, limiting high salt, high purine, high fat and high potassium food.
1. High-quality low-protein food: Since high-protein food will cause certain burden to the kidneys, for patients with renal insufficiency, they need to be given high-quality low-protein diet, such as lean pork, chicken, eggs, milk and so on, which can supplement the lack of protein in patients with glomerulonephritis, and help to alleviate the symptoms.
2. Limit high salt food: Due to the damage of kidney function, the glomerular filtration function of patients is reduced, if eating too much salt food, it can cause water retention in the body and aggravate the symptoms of edema, so salty things should be eaten sparingly, less salt, less salted fish, salted vegetables and so on.
3. Limit high purine food: high purine food is mainly metabolized in the kidneys, and patients with impaired renal function can lead to metabolites can not be discharged in a timely manner, which in turn increases the burden on the kidneys, so you need to eat less sardines, pork, and other high purine food.
4. Limit high-fat food: if you eat more high-fat food, such as fried chicken, etc., can make atherosclerosis aggravate, not conducive to the recovery of the disease. Moreover, patients’ digestive ability is poor, high-fat food can increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, so they should try to eat less fatty food.
5. Limit high potassium food: patients with glomerulonephritis will have abnormal renal function, which will lead to abnormal potassium excretion, and if they eat too much potassium, it is easy to have adverse effects on the heart, so they should try to eat less potassium-containing foods, such as portobello mushrooms and so on.
Patients with glomerulonephritis are advised to consult regular hospitals in time and standardize treatment under the guidance of physicians.
