For isolated high urinary protein, maintain a light diet and drink plenty of warm water, following a low-salt, low-fat regimen. If there is no significant kidney function impairment, it's appropriate to supplement with high-quality protein sources such as fish, eggs, and milk. However, if the patient's blood urea nitrogen level is significantly elevated, intake of high-quality protein should be moderately reduced to alleviate the metabolic burden on the kidneys. It's also important to develop good daily routines and avoid excessive熬夜 (staying up late). Appropriate exercise is recommended to help strengthen overall physical health.
