Chronic glomerulonephritis is a chronic disease, and if it is to be completely cured immediately, it is almost impossible. For this reason, all rehabilitation work is very precious while treating. So what are the taboos of chronic nephritis diet? The following will tell you what foods chronic nephritis can not eat, hoping to help patients.

Dietary Taboos in Chronic Nephritis

I. Restriction of salt

Edema has a great relationship with blood volume and sodium salt. Every gram of salt can bring about 110 milliliters of water. If nephritis patients eat excessive salt and their urination function is damaged, they will often aggravate edema symptoms, increase blood volume and cause heart failure. Therefore, chronic glomerulonephritis must limit salt and give low-salt diet. Daily salt intake should be controlled below 2-4 grams to prevent water swelling and increase blood volume and cause accidents.

2. Restrict foods high in purine and nitrogen

To reduce the burden of kidneys, foods such as spinach, celery, radish, beans, soy products, sardines, chicken broth, fish soup, broth should be restricted. Because these foods contain high purine and nitrogen, their metabolites can not be discharged in time when renal function is poor, which has a negative impact on renal function.

3. Avoid strong condiments

Intense condiments such as pepper, mustard, gall bladder, chili pepper are harmful to kidney function and should be avoided. Since MSG is thirsty after eating more, it should be used less when restricting water consumption.

IV. Restriction of Plant Protein

Protein intake should depend on renal function. Controlling protein intake can also achieve the goal of low phosphorus. Usually 0.6 g/kg body weight per day, half of which are high-quality proteins (animal proteins rich in essential amino acids), such as eggs, lean meat, milk, etc.

V. Limitation of liquid volume

When patients with chronic glomerulonephritis have hypertension and edema, fluid intake should be limited. Daily intake should be limited to 1200-1500 ml, including 800 ml of water in beverages and dishes.

If the edema is serious, the inflow should be strictly controlled. In the case of urination, it can be relaxed appropriately. Sodium intake should be less than 3 g/day, and water intake should be less than 2 g/day for those with severe edema. Water intake can be calculated according to the total urine volume of the previous day + 500 ml.
