Chronic glomerulonephritis has a long course of disease and its condition changes greatly, so patients with chronic glomerulonephritis should not only master some principles of acute nephritis, but also pay attention to adjusting diet according to the condition changes of chronic glomerulonephritis:
1. The intake of protein should be increased in the diet, and high-protein foods such as milk and soybean milk should be supplemented. But when chronic glomerulonephritis develops into uremia, a low-protein diet should be adopted, and the daily intake should be below 30 grams.
2. Light and digestible low-salt or salt-free foods should be supplied in the diet, especially when edema, oliguria, hypertension or heart failure occur in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis, and salt should be avoided.
3. Avoid irritating foods such as peppers, garlic, leeks, tobacco and alcohol, and vegetables with more oxalic acid, such as spinach.
4. Patients with chronic glomerulonephritis and hematuria should eat more foods that nourish yin and reduce fire, cool blood and stop bleeding. Such as black fungus, day lily, shepherd's purse, carp, turtle and so on.
