Normal diet can be resumed after early recovery of intestinal function after successful kidney transplantation, with easily digestible food, egg custard being the most appropriate. It is important to ensure adequate protein intake to promote wound healing and recovery of renal function.
After the recovery of renal function, if there is no obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease and other dietary restrictions, it is recommended that I. Dietary considerations.
a. Moderate amount, maintain ideal weight;
b. Balanced, no major supplements, especially avoid ginseng and other immune-enhancing supplements, and avoid excessive protein and fat intake;
c, do not be too salty, try to avoid the intake of soy products.
d, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and other vitamin-rich foods, not “grapefruit”, because grapefruit can affect the liver’s metabolism of cyclosporine and other immune transplant drugs. Avoid eating spoiled and expired food.
e. Eat less allergy-prone shrimp, crab and other shellfish, avoid alcohol, and avoid cooling and detoxifying foods that are toxic to the kidneys.
Dietary principles.
Diet should be low sugar, low fat, high vitamin and moderate amount of high quality protein (animal protein) as the principle.
1.Protein supply
Immunosuppressants can accelerate the decomposition of protein, inhibit synthesis, thus increasing protein consumption, it is appropriate to increase the supply of high-quality protein, high-quality protein is mainly animal protein, such as fish, poultry, eggs, lean meat and other animal foods; vegetable protein, such as soybeans, peanuts, metabolism will produce a large number of amines, increasing the burden on the kidneys, it is appropriate to eat less. In animal protein, it is best to fish, poultry, eggs, fish, poultry meat, also known as “white meat”, pig, beef, etc., also known as “red meat”, “red meat” than The “red meat” contains more cholesterol and fat than the “white meat”, so the “white meat” is better for health.
Chronic transplant renal impairment, daily protein intake has been controlled at 0.5-0.6 grams/kg, calculation: 300 ml of milk or 2 eggs or lean meat 50 grams can supply 9 grams of high quality protein.
2.Strictly control the intake of sugar
Eating more sugar can easily induce diabetes, and the immune transplantation drug itself may induce diabetes. Diabetes not only affects the cardiovascular system, but also affects the function of the transplanted kidney and increases the chance of rejection. Therefore, it should be taken seriously.
Fruit 150-300g/day, generally no more than 250g/day is appropriate.
3.Limit cholesterol
Immunosuppressant itself may cause hypermassemia and lead to atherosclerosis. Therefore, patients after transplantation should restrict the intake of cholesterol even more. It is advisable to have a light diet, prevent greasy, not to consume fried and deep-fried foods, reduce the consumption of animal offal, egg yolk, mollusk fish, squid fish, etc., and at the same time consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. It must be noted that less is not prohibited, lipids are still necessary for the human body, still have to eat, but to limit the amount, there is to be mainly vegetable oils, animal fats and oils as little as possible, egg yolk is appropriate not more than one per day.
4, avoid the use of food to enhance immune function
Such as white fungus, black fungus, shiitake mushroom, red dates, royal jelly and ginseng, etc., so as not to reduce the role of immune agents.
5.Pay attention to calcium supplementation
The decrease of kidney function itself will cause the decrease of calcium absorption, and the use of immunosuppressants will also inhibit calcium absorption and increase excretion, which will lead to osteoporosis over time, manifested as back pain, bone and joint pain, hand and foot twitching, etc. Therefore, attention should be paid to calcium supplementation, the food source of the best dairy products, not only high calcium content, absorption rate is also high. Not the same time also have to pay attention to supplement vitamin D, more outdoor activities, or take vitamin D, alfa osteoporosis, rogaine, etc..
