What to Eat for Lupus Nephritis

The diet of patients with lupus nephritis should be bland, high in vitamins, high in protein, low in salt, and easily digestible. Specific recommendations are as follows: 1. High-vitamin foods: Consume more corn, oats, buckwheat, cucumber, tomato, and winter melon. These foods are rich in vitamins and help protect the kidneys. 2. High-quality protein: Choose eggs, yogurt, milk, soybeans, shrimp, and beef to meet the body's protein needs while reducing the burden on the kidneys. 3. Calcium-rich foods: Such as milk and yogurt, to prevent calcium deficiency that may result from long-term medication. 4. Fresh vegetables and fruits: As alkaline foods, they are rich in vitamins, enhance immunity, and promote recovery of kidney function. 5. Low-salt diet: Limit salt intake, especially for patients with edema. Sodium intake should be less than 3g/day. 6. Avoid irritating foods: Such as spicy, greasy, and raw cold foods, as well as allergenic foods like coriander and celery.
