Restrict intake of water: when oliguria, to strictly limit the variety of water intake to prevent fluid overload caused by acute pulmonary edema or hyponatremia dilution.
The moisture content of food is calculated, for example, 1 gram of raw protein 0.43 ml, 1 g of raw fat 1.07 ml, 1 g of raw carbon hydrates 0.55ml. To record the water intake and urine production, according to the excretion of bodily fluids to determine the daily intake, under normal circumstances, to follow the doctor's orders water.

Polyuria should pay attention to add water and electrolytes, about 1000 ml of water daily, intravenous rehydration, plus urine calculations first day. Note that giving vitamin preparations.
When the recovery period, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen decreased, while dietary protein may be gradually increased amino acid injection can be given if necessary. Injection containing amino acids isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, valine, arginine, histidine, etc, it is worth noting that the BCAA should represent 40% to 50% essential amino acids Only in this way can help the synthesis muscle protein.
