Patients with chronic nephritis can eat peanuts, but it is generally not recommended to eat too much. Chronic nephritis refers to primary chronic glomerulonephritis, and patients are required to eat a low-salt, low-fat, high-quality low-protein diet, and the daily protein intake should be controlled below 0.8g/kg body weight. High-quality protein refers to animal proteins such as chicken, duck, fish, eggs, milk, etc. The protein contained in peanuts is not high-quality protein, and peanuts contain some unsaturated fatty acids, which are good for softening blood vessels. On the whole, peanuts and other nuts can be eaten, in principle, it is recommended that patients consume no more than 100g of nuts per week, so patients with chronic nephritis can eat nuts, but not more.
