What Foods Are Good for Kidney Disease?
Disease description:
It started a few days ago with lower back pain, weakness in all four limbs, frequent vomiting, reduced appetite, as well as frequent and urgent urination. I also noticed blood in my urine and swelling in my body. I have been diagnosed with chronic nephritis. So, doctor, what foods are good for kidney disease?
For patients with kidney disease, dietary adjustment is an important part of managing their condition. Below are some recommendations:
1. **Low-protein diet**: Depending on kidney function, it may be necessary to reduce protein intake to减轻减轻 the burden on the kidneys. Choose high-quality proteins such as fish, chicken, tofu, etc.
2. **Low-sodium diet**: Reducing salt intake helps control blood pressure and edema. Avoid salty foods, processed foods, and fast food.
3. **High-calcium, low-phosphorus diet**: Limit phosphorus intake and choose low-phosphorus foods such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. Increase intake of calcium-rich foods such as milk (depending on individual tolerance), yogurt, and dried small fish.
4. **Potassium control**: If blood potassium levels are high, limit high-potassium foods such as bananas, oranges, potatoes, and tomatoes. Choose low-potassium fruits such as apples and pears.
5. **Vitamin D supplementation**: Choose foods rich in vitamin D such as fatty fish and egg yolks, or take vitamin D supplements under a doctor's guidance.
6. **Adequate fluid intake**: Drink an appropriate amount of water based on kidney function and edema status to maintain proper fluid balance.
