For modern people, not just eat it solve the problem of food and clothing, but also to satisfy the human body needs a variety of nutritional intake and can be fully absorbed and used, this is more the case for kidney disease patients, but there many kidney failure patients on the diet is not strictly on a variety of complications worse.
Note kidney patients one: salt restriction, low salt low fat. Kidney disease, such as edema or hypertension occurs, you should limit the amount of salt, usually daily salt intake to 2-4g appropriate. Because low-salt diet helps to avoid sodium retention, edema and hypertension to prevent aggravating. Fat: fat can cause arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis and kidney disease itself is the performance of the kidneys, so we should use more vegetable fats, Eat less animal fat and vegetable oil daily intake control 60-70g less. Vegetable oils such as soybean oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, olive oil or the like instead of animal fat as a source of energy, small amounts of saturated fatty acids, and contain more unsaturated fatty acids, which not only does not cause arterial sclerosis, but also to lower cholesterol .
Note two kidney patients: high quality low protein. Excessive protein intake can increase the burden on the kidneys, so to control the total amount of protein intake. But proteins as important nutrients, the body can not do without, especially the essential amino acids that the body can not synthesize their own foreign intake must therefore contain more high-quality protein essential amino acids should be guaranteed. The specific implementation is a vegetable protein should be minimized because the plant protein contains a lot of purine bases, excessive intake will increase the burden on the kidneys, appropriate to add milk, eggs, fish, lean meat and other animal protein.
Note kidney patients III: Supplementary heat. Heat will spend less than the body's own proteins, so creatinine, blood urea nitrogen increased, worse, it is extremely important to make up calories. At low protein diet, heat supply must be sufficient to maintain normal physiological needs, intake of 30-35 kcal / kg body weight of the heat every day. "You can choose a number of high-calorie and low protein content of staple foods, such as potatoes, arrowroot flour, noodles, taro, sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkin, chestnut flour, water chestnut powder, so that the total dietary calories to achieve the standard range, to ensure the supply and demand balance.

Zhou Xin pointed out that "should be fasting animal organs such as the brain, liver, kidney, etc., do not eat goose, seafood, old fire soup, do not drink, eat pumpkin seeds and other dried fruit."
Precautions six kidney patients: low purine. Due to a large number of purine metabolism in the body will increase the burden on the kidneys, especially in patients with gout, high purine diet can induce gout, gout aggravated the condition. And celery, spinach, peanuts, chicken, all kinds of broth, ZhuTouRou, sardines and animal offal and so contains a lot of purine, it should be strictly limited to food. Lean meat also contains purines, in the consumption of meat can be first in the water to cook, abandoned soup consumption.
Note seven kidney patients: vitamin supplements and so on. Adequate intake of vitamins, trace elements. Vitamin B, vitamin C and zinc, calcium, iron, etc., may play a protective effect on the kidneys.
