Low-salt diet is the basis of dietotherapy.
It can be said that low-salt diet is the basis of diet therapy for most patients with kidney disease. A low-salt diet is strictly a sodium-restricted diet. Therefore, all foods with high sodium content should be restricted. There are two main types of high-sodium foods: one is salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, sauce and other condiments; Second, all kinds of pickled foods, such as pickles, pickles, bacon, preserved fish, salted duck, sausage, sausage and so on. The daily salt content should be controlled at 2 ~ 3g (medium toothpaste cap 1g) or soy sauce 10 ~ 15ml. A low-salt diet prohibits the second kind of food. The sodium content of monosodium glutamate is half that of salt, so we should also pay attention to limited use. In addition, all kinds of pasta generally contain a certain amount of sodium (baking soda), so it should be eaten in limited quantities. Because the sodium content of all kinds of natural fresh foods is very low, it is not difficult to do so as long as we pay attention to limiting the use of condiments, that is, using less salt, monosodium glutamate and soy sauce, using more sugar and vinegar, and eating with low salt. In addition, Qiu Shi, a traditional Chinese medicine, and commercially available low-sodium salt can be used to increase the salty taste. But their main component is potassium chloride, so consult a doctor. Patients with oliguria or anuria and late renal failure should be careful or not to use this product to avoid hyperkalemia. Low-salt diet is mainly suitable for patients with nephrotic syndrome, hypertension and oliguria, and it is the most commonly used nephrotic diet in clinic. However, patients with kidney disease who mainly suffer from renal tubular damage generally cannot adopt a low-salt diet. Because these diseases may lead to excessive sodium loss in urine, resulting in hyponatremia and insufficient blood volume. Therefore, at this time, we should pay attention to sodium supplementation and eat high-sodium foods.
