Dr. Zhao Xinju
Lupus nephritis patients can choose to eat lettuce, which helps promote metabolism of water in the body and reduce the burden on the kidneys. They may also consume Chinese cabbage, which contains carbohydrates, vitamins, and fiber that enhance intestinal motility and prevent constipation. Additionally, winter melon is recommended due to its low sodium content and its properties of clearing heat and promoting diuresis.
