Nephrotic syndrome is a serious renal disease that can affect the normal excretion of patients, resulting in imbalance in the internal environment of patients, causing serious harm to patients. However, there are still significant shortcomings in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, so patients should pay attention to the health care of nephrotic syndrome in their daily life. Next, we will introduce the dietary health care of nephrotic syndrome patients.
1. Fat intake
For patients with nephrotic syndrome, most patients are accompanied by hyperlipidemia, which can cause arteriosclerosis, glomerular injury, and sclerosis in patients, thereby limiting their intake of cholesterol and fatty foods such as animal viscera, fat, and certain seafood. Therefore, patient friends should pay more attention when eating fat
2. Sodium salt intake
Among them, the most common characteristic of patients with nephrotic syndrome is edema. When patients experience edema, they should enter a low-salt diet to avoid worsening the edema. Generally, it is advisable to eat no more than 2 g of salt per day. Preserved foods are prohibited, and monosodium glutamate and sodium hydroxide are used sparingly. When edema subsides and plasma protein is close to normal, a normal diet can be restored.
3 Protein intake
Proteinuria is one of the common characteristics of patients with nephrotic syndrome, and proteinuria is due to the abnormal kidneys in patients who are unable to filter the protein in urine, resulting in a large amount of protein loss, leading to malnutrition in patients. Hypoalbuminemia causes a decrease in plasma colloid osmotic pressure, resulting in persistent edema and a decrease in body resistance.
4. Supplement of trace elements
Patients should pay attention to the supplementation of trace elements. Generally speaking, with the loss of proteinuria, a large number of trace elements in the body will also be lost, and some trace elements and hormones that bind to protein will also be lost, resulting in a lack of calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and other elements in the body. Appropriate supplementation should be given.
Patients with nephrotic syndrome should follow the above several requirements in their diet, and more attention should be paid to fat input, sodium salt intake, protein intake, and trace element supplementation in their diet to strengthen the treatment of nephrotic syndrome.
