Renal failure patients are very weak after surgery, and special attention should be paid to their diet. This is very important for the recovery of renal failure. So, what should be the diet for renal failure patients after surgery?
Nephrology experts point out that for patients with renal failure, certain dietary rules should be followed in their postoperative diet.
1. Heat
For patients, the first step is to ensure the necessary calories for their body, which is crucial for their physical recovery. However, in terms of diet, protein intake should be limited, with carbohydrates as the main source of calories to reduce tissue breakdown and correct negative nitrogen metabolism of proteins.
2. Protein
For patients, a low protein diet should be given, with a protein limit of less than 20g, and animal proteins with high biological value should be selected, such as milk, eggs, fish, or lean meat. Among them, carbohydrates are mainly used, and for patients receiving dialysis treatment, the intake of protein in their diet can be increased.
3. Sodium salt
For patients after surgery, the intake of sodium salt should be limited, and the decision to give a low salt or no salt diet should be based on whether the patient has edema, hypertension, heart failure, and whether they have received dialysis treatment.
4. Vitamins
Patients with renal failure should take in vitamins after surgery, and pay attention to giving foods rich in B vitamins and vitamin C to facilitate the repair of damaged tissues.
5. Moisture
For some renal failure patients who experience oliguria, it is important to control their water intake and maintain a balance of water in the body after surgery, which is very useful for the treatment of renal failure.
The above introduces the postoperative dietary principles for renal failure. For patients, it is important to have a reasonable diet for kidney disease and do a good job in kidney health care after surgery, which is crucial for the recovery of renal failure.
