Can children with nephrotic syndrome eat fried food?
Disease description:
Recently, I noticed a large amount of protein in my son's urine. After a hospital examination, the doctor diagnosed him with nephrotic syndrome. However, he particularly enjoys eating fried foods. May he still eat them?

Nephrotic syndrome generally refers to a condition in which patients are usually advised against consuming fried foods. Fried foods are greasy and high in purines, and eating them may increase the burden on the kidneys, making it harder to control the condition. Patients should consume more high-quality protein foods, such as fish, lean meat, and milk. They can also eat more vitamin-rich foods, such as oranges, apples, and kiwifruit.
