My husband usually loves eating beef, but he was recently diagnosed with lupus nephritis. I'm wondering if people with this condition can still eat beef?

Patients with lupus nephritis can适量 consume beef. Beef contains abundant high-quality protein, amino acids, and other nutrients that help supplement nutrition, promote absorption by the body, and enhance immune function. However, excessive consumption at one time should be avoided, as beef also contains fat; eating too much may increase the body's burden and hinder disease recovery.
