Diet control plays an important role in the treatment of kidney disease. A reasonable diet combination can not only reduce renal metabolic pressure, but also guarantee the balance of nutrition for patients, which is more conducive to the stabilization of the disease.
A low amount of high quality protein can help patients reduce proteinuria and protect renal function.
Then what foods contain "good protein" and what foods contain "bad protein"? how to identify?
The amino acid pattern contained in the "good protein" is closer to human body, which is more conducive to absorption and maintenance of nutrition. It is mainly animal protein. Although the intake of "bad protein" will not damage the body, for patients with poor renal function, bad protein, namely plant-based protein is not conducive to digestion and absorption. Too much consumption can become wastes and accumulate in the body so as to aggravate the condition.
Doctors recommend these foods with good protein as the first choice to maintain a balance of nutrients and help stabilize the condition:
-Protein in eggs
Eggs are generally acknowledged to contain high quality protein. A boiled egg is about 40-50 grams, and it contains about 7 grams of protein. Kidney patients can eat one egg every day, which is very helpful to maintain nutrition. Of course, you can choose steamed eggs, scrambled eggs, etc. But be sure not to eat preserved eggs, such as salted duck eggs in case of eating too much salt.
Some patients worry that eating too much egg yolk is not good for blood lipids and blood pressure control. Every 100 grams of eggs contains about 11 grams of fat, and 510 milligrams of cholesterol. In fact, cholesterol and fat in the egg yolk does not have so much influence on blood lipids and blood pressure. If you need to control weight, you can eat one boiled egg every other day.
-Protein in meat
Meat is also one of the main food for protein intake. Most of the most commonly eaten meat includes pork, beef, lamb, chicken, duck and fish, etc. The difference in protein content per 100 grams of these kinds of meat is not big, which is between 16 grams and 25 grams, among which chicken contains 23.3 grams at most, and duck contains 16.5 grams at least.
In terms of protein, fat and cholesterol, fish is more suitable for people with kidney disease.
However, it should be noted that processed meat products such as ham, bacon and preserved meat, as well as animal offal such as pork liver, lung and kidney should be eaten sparingly or not, which are too high in salt and cholesterol.
-Protein in milk
The protein contained in milk and milk products is not only high quality, but also good to absorb as well as the main source of protein in ordinary diet. The best choice for patients is pure milk, pure yoghurt and skimmed milk or yogurt. The nutrients are raw milk, which is simple but nutritious. Relatively speaking, some other dairy products sold on the market, such as milk flavor drinks and various flavors of milk, taste good, but contain more additives, hence it is not recommended that kidney patients drink these dairy products in large quantities.
The intake of high quality protein can not only supplement nutrition and avoid the infection caused by malnutrition, but also help to stabilize proteinuria in kidney patients so as to achieve the purpose of protecting renal function. Therefore, kidney patients cannot ignore the diet management and underestimate the effect of diet on the disease.
