What are the dietary tamboos of patients with IgA kidney disease?
I believe this is the question that patients and their parients care about.
Notice the intake of protein: when Acute Glomerular Nephritis manifest for three to six days, the filtration rate of glomerular will decrease and then a transient azotemia will occur, therefore, we should pay attention to the diet of protein. In the allowed are, we should try to choose the foods containing high quality protein such as milk, egg, meat and fish.
Diet with low-salt and low-sodium: patients with swelling and high blood pressure should eat foods with low-salt, low-sodium or even without salt. Low-salt diet means for ordinary people, we should take salt everyday less than three grams or soy ten milliliter to fifteen milliliter. Foods which are rich in salt such as pickles, pickled vegetables, salted eggs, preserved eggs, bacon, seafood, fine dried noodles all should avoid being eaten. Salt-free diet means cooking without salt and soy. As for low-sodium diet, when people cooking, apart from adding any salt and soy, foods with abundant sodium such as steamed bread, bread, cakes, biscuits, fine dried noodles which made by using baking powder or soda and vegetables containing one hundred milligram per one hundred gram all should be used carefully. It is the best to take no more than five hundred milligram sodium a day.
Avoid eating foods with amounts of potassium: when oliguria, anuria or serum potassium decrease appear, vegetables and fruits contain abundant potassium, such as bean sprouts, chives, garlic, celery, cauliflower, cedar, spinach, bamboo shoots, lily, dried dates, fresh mushrooms, nori, mustard, Sichuan preserved vegetables, fried bamboo shoot slices, winter mushrooms, apricots, lotus root, sorghum, corn, lentils, tomato, loofah, bitter gourd should not be eaten.
Pay attention to the intake of water: The intake of water should depend on the urine volume. The common supplement is that apart from supplementing the excreted urine volume before the day, five hundred to one thousand milliliter water should be taken. Patients who have a little urine and swelling symptoms should take water no more than one thousand milliliter everyday.
Avoid supplying excessive heat and fat: The food provided should not contain too much heat and fat. For adults, they should take heat everyday for one hundred and five to one hundred and twenty six kilojoule (twenty five- thirty kilocalorie)/kilogram.
