Dietary conditioning in patients with hypertension and kidney disease

Hypertension is a common disease. For patients with primary hypertension, severe complications can occur if the duration of the disease lasts more than five years. Under normal circumstances, patients with essential hypertension who have a long duration of disease will suffer damage to organs such as the liver, kidneys, and heart. The kidneys are the most vulnerable organs. When the kidneys of patients with essential hypertension are injured, it is called hypertensive nephropathy.
Hypertensive nephropathy is a difficult clinical disease. With the development of the patient's condition, it will cause more serious damage to the kidney, so we must pay great attention to the treatment of hypertensive nephropathy.
Especially in terms of diet, we need to strengthen control:
Limiting fat intake
Apply vegetable oils when cooking. Eat more fish, because the fish contains unsaturated fatty acids, which can make cholesterol oxidation, thereby reducing plasma cholesterol concentration, inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce thrombosis, prevent and treat stroke. In addition, marine fish also contains a lot of linoleic acid, can increase the elasticity of micro-vessels, prevent blood vessel rupture, thus preventing the occurrence of hypertension complications.
2. Limit salt intake
The salt intake includes the amount of salt used for cooking and the amount of sodium salt that is contained in other foods. Properly reducing sodium intake can help lower blood pressure and reduce sodium and sodium retention.
3. Appropriate intake of protein
The daily intake of protein in hypertensive patients is preferably 1 gram per kilogram. Eating fish protein 2-3 times a week can improve blood vessel elasticity and permeability, increase urinary sodium excretion, and lower blood pressure. If hypertension has renal insufficiency, protein intake should be limited.
In addition, eat more foods rich in potassium, calcium, and sodium.
Hypertension and nephropathy are mutually causative, and if they are not controlled, a vicious circle will result. Therefore, patients with hypertension and nephropathy must pay attention to blood pressure, and achieving blood pressure through diet is the safest and most reliable, and patients must persevere.
