What are the diet recommendations for chronic nephritic patients? As we know, all the kidney disease patients need to pay attention to their daily diet, which can help reduce the kidney burden and protect the kidney function. So chronic nephritis patients also need to change their diet and keep a kidney-friendly diet.
Here are the diet recommendations for chronic nephritis patients.
(A) low-protein, low-phosphorus diet: protein intake problem almost all kidney patients have to face the problem of how to develop their intake of illness and rehabilitation would produce a more significant impact. Chronic nephritis patients, early or acute exacerbation onset, there is a certain degree of oliguria, edema symptoms or poor appetite and protein intake should be appropriate to control, but not overly restricted, especially in patients with decreased body weight, Doing so may affect the body's immune system is not conducive to the rehabilitation of the disease. Per kilogram of body weight per day are generally given one gram of protein is appropriate. When a large number of diuretic edema, the patient's symptoms improved, it is necessary and timely to increase protein intake to replenish lost when a large number of proteins diuretic, nephritis patients with chronic kidney disease even more so. If further development of chronic nephritis, leading to severe renal damage, when uremia, renal excretion of protein metabolites function decreased, so that the body to increase blood urea nitrogen, then we should strictly limit protein intake, only a very small amount of supply protein to maintain basic metabolic needs of the body.
(2) Adequate carbohydrate: protein due to limitations in patients with chronic nephritis intake, heat is mainly supplied by carbohydrates, so dietary carbohydrate should increase to meet the needs of the body's heat. In addition, adequate energy supply can reduce the consumption of protein, reduce the burden on the kidneys, and allows a small amount of protein intake completely for the repair and growth organization. Suitable for patients with chronic nephritis foods are vermicelli, noodles, potatoes, lotus root starch and so on.
(3) limit sodium: chronic nephritis patients in a stable phase, the edema and other symptoms of chronic nephritis is generally not obvious, do not restrict salt intake, as long as you can not eat salty foods. When patients with severe edema, heart failure or hypertensive encephalopathy, it is necessary strictly limit salt intake, not only can not intake of salt, sodium can not eat other foods, such as crackers, bread base surface, floss, etc. In order not to affect the patient because there was no appetite tasteless salt, no salt when cooking sauce can be used to replace salt. Be patient in remission, in order to gradually increase the salt intake after stabilizing.
(4) the appropriate amount of drinking water: water intake is generally no restrictions, but not too much, especially with marked edema and oliguria, be sure to pay attention to water intake.

(5) vitamins and iron: chronic nephritis patients may be due to longer duration, poor appetite, eating less affected by vitamin intake, therefore, chronic nephritis patients should pay attention to eating foods rich in vitamin A, B vitamins and vitamin C foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits, to prevent vitamin deficiency. Patients with chronic nephritis is often accompanied by symptoms of anemia, primarily caused by a lack of blood raw, so chronic nephritis patients should use some iron-rich foods such as liver, eggs, tomatoes, and green leafy vegetables such as dates, but also pay attention to folic acid and vitamin B12 supplement.
