Nephritic Syndrome diet

How could patients with nephritic syndrome make their meal plans? The most suitable food for them should be easy to digest, light and semi-fluid. On the basis of this, they should develop and keep a right life style.

Ingestion of high protein foods could increase the albumin which synthesized by their liver, meanwhile, the excretion of urine protein also will increase. High protein food doesn’t do any good for improving hypoproteinemia but makes the glomeruli high perfusion, high pressure and high filtration, which may accelerate the noninflammatory scelerosis of glomeruli. We can slow down chronic renal damage by limiting the ingestion of protein. So we suggest that patients should take high-quality protein diet, and the most suitable ingestion for them is 0.7-1.0 gram for one kilogram in a single day.

Gastric mucosa edema and ascites which are often accompany with nephritic syndrome can affect patients’ digest and absorption. So patients should take the food which are easy to digest, light and semi-fluid. Patients with nephritic syndrome will lose a lot of protein because of urine protein, which will lead to protein in a bad condition. High protein diet can improve hypoproteinemia and complications.

Most of patients suffer from hyperlipidaemia and they should limit the ingestion of animal fat and take abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid and vegetable oil. Severe edema should restrict sodium salt. The ingestion of salt should less than 3 gram in a single day, and supply trace elements appropriately.
