Seven dietary advice for kidney disease patients

The human heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are very important organs, and a problem with any one of them will be a big disaster for human health. In patients with kidney failure, it is difficult for the toxins produced by the food in the body to be excreted normally and accumulate in the body, causing harm to the body. Therefore, patients with kidney failure should pay more attention to their daily diet to avoid improper nutritional intake and causing a burden to the body. People with kidney failure should pay attention to the following points in their daily diet.

1. Restricting protein: For patients without dialysis, the kidneys cannot excrete the waste produced by protein metabolism, which makes kidney failure more serious. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the protein intake; however, if dialysis is performed, It should be noted that during kidney dialysis, protein will be lost in the body, so it is necessary to follow the advice of a nutritionist to maintain the body's needs.


2. Limit the intake of sodium: Because salt contains high sodium content, if there is too much sodium in the body of patients with kidney failure, it will cause the retention of water in the body, thereby causing cardiopulmonary failure and aggravating kidney failure. But never use low-sodium salts, because low-sodium salts contain high amounts of potassium ions.


3. Limit the intake of potassium: The accumulation of potassium in the body will cause muscle weakness, and in severe cases, it will cause irregular heart rate and lead to heart failure.


4. limit the intake of phosphorus: because too high phosphorus in the body will cause the loss of calcium, doctors will use drugs to help control the phosphorus content in the blood and prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis.


5. Water intake: If you take in too much water and the kidneys cannot remove it, edema or heart and lung failure will occur. Therefore, kidney control of water is a very important issue. It is the amount of water removed during dialysis to determine the amount of water intake. Generally, 500-750c.c is added to the urine volume of the previous day.


6. Avoid foods with high purine content: Because of the high purine content in food, it will increase the burden on the kidneys during the metabolic process, such as pork head meat, sardines, etc.


7. Be cautious when the eating dog, sheep, beef, and other meat products: because traditional Chinese medicine believes that dog meat, mutton, beef, etc. are hair products, it is easy to cause disease recurrence or aggravation. It remains to be seen whether it is a coincidence that patients with chronic kidney failure worsen their condition or even die after eating beef and mutton, but patients with chronic kidney failure shouldn't eat such meat products.


The above seven points of the daily diet for kidney failure, patients and friends must pay more attention to, and those that should be avoided must avoid them, and not cause serious consequences for the desire to eat. I hereby wish you a speedy recovery.
