Chronic Glomerulonephritis

There are many types of common diseases. Colds and fevers are very common. However, the treatment methods for these diseases are relatively simple. There is no need to avoid too many foods when treating these diseases. The treatment time is not very long. However, for the treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis, not only long-term treatment is required, but also the correct treatment method must be chosen, otherwise it will not be conducive to the improvement of the disease.

Many people don't know much about this disease. This disease can cause serious damage to all aspects of the human body. Therefore, when treating this disease, patients must actively cooperate. There are some precautions when treating chronic glomerulonephritis.

Nephritis dietary taboos:

Limit salt intake

Edema is closely related to blood volume and sodium salt. Every gram of salt can bring in about 110 milliliters of water. If patients with nephritis consume too much salt and their urination function is impaired, the symptoms of edema will often be aggravated, blood volume will increase, and heart failure will occur. Therefore, patients with chronic glomerulonephritis must limit salt intake and be given a low-salt diet. Daily salt intake should be controlled below 2-4 grams to prevent worsening of edema and increase in blood volume, which may lead to accidents.

Limit foods high in purine and nitrogen

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, and broth. Because these foods are high in purine and nitrogen, their metabolites cannot be excreted in time when renal function is poor, which has a negative impact on renal function.

Avoid strong seasonings

Strong condiments such as pepper, mustard, coffee, chili, etc. are not good for kidney function and should be avoided. Since MSG will make you thirsty after eating too much, you should also use less MSG when limiting your water intake.

Limit plant protein

Protein intake should be determined according to renal function. Controlling protein intake can also achieve the goal of low phosphorus. Generally, it is 0.6 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, half of which is high-quality protein (animal protein rich in essential amino acids), such as eggs, lean meat, milk, etc.

Through the above introduction, we have some understanding of the dietary taboos of chronic glomerulonephritis. Therefore, when treating such diseases, we must pay attention to such issues. This will be of great help in the treatment of the disease. In addition, we must actively cooperate with the treatment of such diseases so that we can improve our own diseases.
