Reasonable diet can help reduce the retention of nitrogen, decrease protein decomposition in the body, correct the abnormal metabolism of amino acids, maintain the total balance of nitrogen, ensure the nutrition and enhance the resistance. Therefore, it is an essential part of rehabilitation. In this article, let’s have a look at diet for Nephrotic Syndrome.
-To lower protein intake
Protein restriction can help slow down kidney function impairment and reduce protein leakage. But it does not mean you must avoid protein intake. Moderate high quality protein intake is a necessity to maintain the normal function of body. Chicken, fish, milk, lean meat, egg white and so on are all this kind of protein.
-To reduce salt intake
If you have swelling and high blood pressure, salt intake should be limited to 2-3 g/d. In severe cases, salt should be limited to 1-2 g/d. But if you are taking diuretics, or with vomiting or diarrhea, you do not need to limit salt intake.
-To supplement vitamins
With protein leakage, some vitamins go out of body as well. And the diet restriction can make this condition worse. Vitamin deficiency can weaken your immunity, and then it is likely for you to suffer from infections. Frequent infections can cause relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome.
-To ensure enough calory intake
To reduce the over decomposition of protein in body so as to make your condition worse, you should ensure enough calory intake. For example, you can take potatoes, pumpkin, sweat potatoes and so on to supplement calory.
