Renal failure is caused by chronic kidney disease, so it should not be rushed in treatment and daily health care. In terms of diet, patients with chronic kidney failure should focus on light foods, such as drinking milk, eating eggs, lean meat, fish, and soy products. However, it is advisable to eat fewer and more meals, with a smaller amount.
It is advisable to eat light, digestible, nutritious, and vitamin rich foods, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods such as seafood, tobacco, and alcohol.
Individuals with high urinary protein content and normal renal function can enter a normal or low protein diet.
Patients with edema and hypertension should reduce salt intake, while patients with edema should also reduce water intake.
For patients with renal failure, the total intake of protein should be limited, and the protein intake should mainly be high-quality animal protein essential to the human body (such as milk, eggs, fish, and lean meat). Plant protein should be reduced, while ensuring sufficient calories (such as eating more sweet potatoes, wheat starch diet, etc.).
Patients with renal failure should also eat less foods with high potassium content. For example: bananas, citrus, strawberries, watermelons, mushroom foods, potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, etc.
Pay attention to maintaining unobstructed bowel movements. If the stool is dry, moderate laxatives can be taken appropriately.
Individuals with high levels of blood uric acid should especially avoid eating animal offal, fish, shrimp, crab, clams, beer, mushrooms, beans, and nuts.
The treatment of chronic kidney failure is a lengthy and irreversible process, but it is definitely not an incurable disease without a cure. Medical treatment is developing, and through dialysis, kidney transplant surgery, etc., patients' condition can be controlled and even long-term survival can be achieved.
