Astragalus treats proteinuria, a small folk remedy for treating a serious disease

If you have kidney disease, one of the most typical symptoms is proteinuria. However, the severity of the disease cannot be determined by the amount of proteinuria. You can choose some folk remedies to treat proteinuria. Astragalus is very effective in treating proteinuria. Patients with proteinuria should also pay attention to their diet and health care.

2. Diet and Health Care

Patients with nephritis have large amounts of protein in the urine, which can generally be supplemented through diet. The view that patients with nephritis cannot eat protein-containing foods is wrong and one-sided. Even for patients with chronic nephritis that has developed to the late stage - the uremia stage, it is recommended that they eat a high-quality, low-protein diet.

Daily protein intake should be controlled at 0.6~0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. For patients with uremia during dialysis treatment, especially peritoneal dialysis, the amount of protein consumed daily should be increased to about 1.2 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. Patients with nephrotic syndrome lose a large amount of protein in the urine. If their renal function is normal, it is recommended that they eat a high-protein diet to correct hypoproteinemia, reduce edema, and improve or enhance the body's resistance.

If a nephritis patient develops azotemia or early renal insufficiency, protein intake should be limited. Otherwise it will accelerate the deterioration of renal function. In short, different diet recipes should be adopted for different conditions.

When kidney disease patients have large amounts of proteinuria, there is no need to panic; when small amounts of proteinuria appear, the severity of the disease should not be ignored. It is best to diagnose the disease in time and develop an appropriate plan to treat proteinuria. Completely restore kidney function from the perspective of kidney pathological damage and eliminate proteinuria.
