Parents of the patients with Child Nephritis often ask ‘how to treat Child
Nephritis’. In order to improve the effect of the treatment, we can not only
depend on the treatment, proper nursing and care are also needed. What I want to
introduce to you today is the treatment and diet about Child Nephritis.
1. Chinese medicine cordyceps sinensis can effectively promote the growth of
the renal tubular epithelium and the recovery of the damaged cells, increase the
stableness of cell membrane, and strengthen the tolerance to oxygen privation of
the renal tubular epithelium, which has certain therapeutical effect on
Nephritis.
2. As a new generation of cellular immunosuppressive agent, Cyclosporin A is
a new kind of medicine to treat Nephritis, but it has noticeable side effects,
so it is unsuitable for the child.
3. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy created by Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease
Hospital has obvious curative effect in treating Child Nephritis and other
kidney diseases. It commences from the pathogenesis to block renal fibrosis,
repair damaged kidney inherent cells and protect the remaining inherent cells,
thus curing Child Nephritis fundamentally.
In daily life, the matters that need attentions are as follows:
1. The supply of protein. The protein intake depends on the extent of the
damage to the kidney. The protein in the food should not be strictly limited if
the disease course is long and the damage to the kidney is not serious, but
should not be over 1g every kilo of weight. High quality protein should be more
than 50%.
2. Because some patients limit protein intake, energy supply should mainly
come from carbohydrates and fat and meet the needs of activity of the
patients.
3. Control the intake of sodium salt. For patients with serious edema and
hypertension, salt intake should be limited to below 2g/d, and even no salt
diet. Generally speaking, low salt diet is more suitable.
Food selection for patients with Child Nephritis
1. Patients with poor appetite can supplement vitamin C preparations. At the
same time, food rich in vitamin B and folic acid should also be eaten more, such
as animal viscera, green vegetables etc, which is helpful to improve anemia.
Patients with hyperkalemia should avoid food rich in potassium, and caution in
selecting vegetables and fruits. Patients with Chronic Nephritis should avoid
carbonated beverage and stimulating food.
2. Because patients with long time Chronic Nephritis may have anemia,
supplementing vitamin C can increase the absorption of iron ions. So the
patients should eat tomatoes, green vegetables, fresh dates, water melon,
radish, cucumber, oranges, kiwi fruit and straight juice etc.
The above is the diet and treatment for Child Nephritis. Hope the parents of
the children patients can master and follow the advice closely. Following the
medical advice, proper and scientific nursing and correct and effective
treatment will sure make the children healthy soon.
