A review of the treatment methods for chronic glomerulonephritis

Patients with chronic glomerulonephritis must pay attention to scientific treatment, and at the same time pay attention to a reasonable and healthy diet. They should pay attention to protein supplementation, but also pay attention to limiting salt intake. The diet should be light. Foods such as spinach, celery, and radish are more suitable for patients.

1. Ensure a reasonable, high-quality, low-protein diet

You need to eat a proper amount of high-quality protein foods such as lean meat, chicken, fish, eggs, milk, etc. The total amount should not be too much, but you must eat them, otherwise the body will lack protein. Patients with severe proteinuria should pay more attention. The specific amount you should eat every day is determined by your condition and your own nutritional status. You can ask your attending physician or nutritionist.

2. Salt intake should be limited

To control blood pressure, salt intake should be limited, and a low-salt or salt-free diet should be given depending on the condition. Even if blood pressure returns to normal, a light diet should be maintained.

3. Eat a moderate amount of hot or cold food

It is best to choose slightly warm or slightly cool foods and avoid alcoholic beverages and irritating foods. Animal fat is an unfavorable factor for patients with hypertension and anemia. Since fat can aggravate arteriosclerosis and inhibit hematopoietic function, patients with chronic nephritis should not consume too much animal fat. However, if there is no fat intake in chronic nephritis, the body will become weaker, so in daily life, vegetable oil can be used instead, about 6 grams per day.

4. Limit foods that stimulate kidney cells

In order to ensure adequate supply of calories, sugars and fats are generally not restricted. In order to reduce the burden on the kidneys, foods that stimulate kidney cells should be limited, such as spinach, celery, radishes, beans, soy products, sardines, chicken soup, fish soup, broth, etc. Because these foods are high in purine and nitrogen, their metabolites cannot be excreted in time when the kidney function is poor.
