What food is suitable for nephritis?

The problem of nephritis actually affects and troubles many patients, so for patients, it is necessary to attach importance to scientific treatment. In addition, they must also pay attention to some daily dietary taboos, try to eat more light foods, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and limit protein intake.

1. Eat more light and diuretic foods. Foods that have diuretic and swelling-reducing effects include carp, crucian carp, goat milk, watermelon, wax gourd, mung bean, red bean, etc. Boiling watermelon rind in water has a good diuretic effect.

2. Eat more foods rich in vitamins. Fresh vegetables and fruits are alkaline foods. They can not only provide a variety of vitamins but also promote the recovery of kidney function.

3. Do not eat a high-salt diet. The edema of chronic nephritis is closely related to blood volume and sodium salt, so the salt intake must be restricted and a low-salt diet should be given. Daily salt intake should be controlled below 2-4 grams to prevent worsening of edema and increase in blood volume, which may lead to accidents.

4. Do not eat or eat less high-fat food. Chronic nephritis patients have symptoms of hypertension and anemia. Animal fat is an unfavorable factor for hypertension and anemia because fat can aggravate arteriosclerosis and inhibit hematopoietic function. Therefore, chronic nephritis patients should not eat too much animal fat.

5. Avoid using strong condiments. Strong condiments are harmful to kidney function and should be avoided. Since MSG will make you thirsty after eating too much, you should also use less MSG when limiting your water intake.

6. Limit plant protein. Protein intake should depend on kidney function. When patients experience oliguria, edema, hypertension and nitrogen retention, it can reduce the burden on the kidneys and avoid the accumulation of non-protein nitrogen in the body. In particular, plant protein contains a large amount of leuprorelin, which can aggravate the kidney's intermediate metabolism. Therefore, it is not appropriate to use beans and bean products as nutritional supplements.
