Secondly, we should be clear about what we can eat and what we can't eat, which is related to the type and stage of kidney disease.
1. In the early stage of most chronic nephritis, when the renal function is normal and there is no large amount of proteinuria, you can eat various fruits. Fruit is rich in vitamins and minerals, which is beneficial to the health of patients with nephritis.
2. Nephrotic syndrome patients are characterized by massive proteinuria with edema. Because fruits are rich in water, especially watermelons, pears and oranges, the intake of these fruits should be controlled.
3. Chronic kidney disease develops into renal insufficiency, and hyperkalemia is prone to occur when creatinine rises. At this time, we should pay attention to avoid eating fruits rich in potassium, such as bananas, oranges, peaches, apricots, grapefruit, winter dates and a small amount of apples and pears. Hyperkalemia is very dangerous, which can lead to arrhythmia and cardiac arrest. Patients with renal insufficiency should pay special attention to fruit intake.
4. Patients with diabetic nephropathy will be intimidated by fruits because of diabetes. At this time, you should choose fruits with low sugar content and low sugar index, such as apples, plums and peaches, and you must avoid watermelons and grapes. The time of eating is also very important. Can be used in moderation between meals. Don't eat too much or eat immediately after meals.
5. For gouty nephropathy, we all know to drink more water, but we may not know that gouty nephropathy can't drink more water! The purine content of fruit is low. For patients with high uric acid, it is beneficial to eat more fresh fruits. But after juicing, vitamins and dietary fiber will be lost, and fructose in juice may increase uric acid. Mango is rich in fructose and should be controlled. It is reported that cherries are rich in vitamin C and anthocyanins, which is beneficial to patients with high uric acid.
