How do kidney transplant patients “eat”?

  ”What do I eat every day?” –This question is not complicated for post-transplant patients, they don’t need to be “special”, they should eat the same as ordinary people. In short, “eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner”. But we should pay attention to weight control, especially dinner, because transplant patients take hormones every day, appetite will rise, if not controlled it is easy to obesity, high blood sugar, high blood fat, so starchy, high fat food should be eaten less; just after surgery patients, because of pre-operative uremia, will have a certain degree of anemia and malnutrition, vegetables and high protein food (lean meat, fish, eggs, milk, soy products) recommended Eat more to make up for the lost nutrition as soon as possible.  What not to eat” – Although there is little difference between “what to eat” and the general population, kidney transplant patients should choose “supplements” (e.g. ginseng, beechnuts, beechnuts). The best thing to do is not to take these “supplements” (such as ginseng, propolis and wolfberry). These “tonic” will stimulate the body’s immune system, for ordinary people can enhance resistance, strengthen the body; but for kidney transplant patients, the strengthening of the immune system will aggravate the rejection of the kidney, is precisely the most contraindicated. For example, other doctors’ scientific articles mentioned that you should not eat mushrooms and fungus, but my patients ate them without problems; among my patients, two of them had serious rejection reactions after eating propolis, so I would tell other patients not to eat propolis. So I think that if your supervising physician won’t let you eat anything, you just don’t eat it and don’t have to compare with what other doctors say and get too hung up on it.
