Nutrition for chronic nephritis

In chronic nephritis with preserved kidney function, characterized by a favorable course, it is allowed to preserve food that is as close as possible to the physiological. At this stage of the disease, there is no need to apply strict diets with protein, salt, and liquid restriction. It is necessary only to adhere to the principles that cause a sparing regimen of kidney function. The diet should be high in calories and well balanced. In addition, it is necessary that the diet includes proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the correct physiological ratio. The amount of liquids drunk per day should correspond to the amount of daily urination. It is necessary to moderate the intake of salt moderately. Especially important is the need to exclude all sharp and salty dishes, as well as marinades, various smoked foods, snacks and other similar foods. But in excess it is necessary to eat various vegetables and fruits.

The milk diet is not prescribed for chronic nephritis because the milk consists of 87.6% water and 2.8% protein. Because of this, there is no restriction in water and protein. Eating about 2 liters of milk injects into the body more than 1700 ml of water and about 55 g of protein.

Patients with renal insufficiency who develop hypertension should be included in the diet of unloading days. They can be apple, berry, compote and others.

With a pronounced renal failure, diet No. 7b should be adhered to with the addition of unloading days and exercise days by transferring to No. 7a, No. 7. If the patient has compensatory urination on the background of renal failure, it is necessary to increase the fluid intake somewhat. The fluid intake should be greater than the amount of urine released per 50-100 ml. It should be borne in mind that with increasing urine output in large quantities, mineral salts are lost, so it is advisable to slightly increase the intake of table salt.

It is necessary to prevent or delay the development of absolute renal failure, called uremia, in patients with the development of symptoms of renal insufficiency. In this case, it is a common practice to limit the intake of protein from food. It should be consumed only 18-22 grams per day. The main suppliers of essential amino acids are dairy products, potatoes and eggs. The potato contains 1.7 g of protein per 100 g of product, one egg contains 5-6 g of protein. The diet includes high-calorie foods to cover the energy costs of the body. These foods include butter and vegetable oil, sugar, honey, jam, vegetables, as well as fruits. People suffering from this disease are prohibited from eating food rich in protein. These products include bread, meat and fish. The amount of liquid consumed per day should correspond to the amount of urine. The use of table salt is allowed depending on the state of the cardiovascular system. The caloric content of this diet is 2200-2500 calories, which ensures the prevention of the breakdown of the body's own proteins. A low protein diet, which contains a sufficient number of high-grade proteins, gives good results in the treatment of chronic renal failure. With an improvement in the state of health of a patient suffering from this disease, it is possible to increase the protein in the diet.
