Why Should Diabetic Nephropathy Patients Take High-quality Protein Diet?

Proper diet can help Diabetic Nephropathy patients to well control and delay the development of the disease and improve the effects of treatment. It is very important for them to take proper diet. Besides, they should also pay attention to the intake of protein, otherwise it can cause masses of nitrogen products'generation and retention. Consequently, it aggravates the burden to kidney. So patients are suggested to restrict the intake of protein. Then, why should Diabetic Nephropathy patients take high-quality protein diet?

Some Diabetic Nephropathy patients consider vegetarian diet is a better diet for them. Other patients think that so long as they do not eat meat, milchigs or eggs, it will be ok. However, they neglect that vegetarian diet also contains vegetable protein. If they take vegetarian diet for a long term, it will aggravate burden to kidney. Because vegetable protein contains much of unnecessary amino acid, it cann't meet the need of body and will be metabolized into masses of nitrogen products. Diabetic Nephropathy patients have a poor renal function and it can not well discharge excess water and waste products, so patients should take high-quality protein diet to meet the need of the body without producing masses of nitrogen products.

High-quality protein contains much of necessary amino acid. It can provide enough necessary amino acid for the body without being metabolized into masses of nitrogen products. Thus high-quality protein can help to relieve renal burden. High-quality protein is usually in animal protein such as meat, egg white, etc.


Besides, when it is the late stage of Diabetic Nephropathy, patients should strictly restrict the intake of protein. They can eat wheat starch as their main food instead of rice or flour, because wheat starch contains less vegetable protein than rice or flour. Then patients can take more high-quality protein to meet the need of the body to protect kidney from further damage caused by improperly taking in protein.
