The diet of patients with right kidney hamartoma should pay attention to the following points:
1. Control alcohol consumption: Patients with right kidney hamartoma should best abstain from alcohol.
2. Weight management: Control body weight to avoid overweight or obesity, thus reducing the burden on the kidneys.
3. Light diet: Focus on light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, fried, and high-fat foods such as hamburgers and French fries.
4. Limit red meat: Reduce consumption of red meats such as pork, beef, and mutton to less than 90 grams per day. Fish and poultry can be used as alternatives.
5. Reduce sugar and salt intake: Avoid sugary beverages and high-sugar foods. Limit salt intake, especially for patients with renal insufficiency, to no more than 5 grams per day.
6. Eat more vegetables and fruits: Consume more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and fiber to improve constipation.
