Patients with lupus nephritis can consume fish roe in moderation. Fish roe is rich in vitamin B, which helps supplement essential nutrients for the body. However, intake should be moderate and not excessive to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. Individuals with lupus nephritis should schedule regular follow-up visits at the hospital.
