What to look for in a uremic patient’s diet

The diet of uremia patients should pay attention to controlling the intake of water and foods containing salt, potassium and phosphorus, and moderate consumption of foods containing high-quality protein. The kidneys of uremia patients have very poor or almost no function in draining and eliminating metabolic wastes from the body. The dietary attention of uremia patients is as follows: 1. Control the total amount of water to drink, including water-containing soups, porridges, various beverages, dairy products, which contain a lot of water. 2. Reduce salt intake, not only eat less salt, because the main component of salt is sodium chloride, so also eat less processed, pickled and other foods containing high sodium chloride. 3. Eat foods containing high quality protein such as egg white, lean meat and fish in moderation. 4. Eat less food high in potassium, such as bananas, oranges and other fruits. 5. Eat less food high in phosphorus, such as nuts and various processed foods. Uremia patients should standardize their treatment and diet under the guidance of a doctor, and please consult a doctor in time if you feel unwell.
