The kidneys of IgA Nephropathy Patients have been damaged in different
degrees. It is necessary to keep a proper diet which can relieve the burden of
kidney. However, how to keep a proper diet for IgA Nephropathy patients? How to
make a better protection with a proper diet?
IgA Nephropathy patients would better not eat the following food.
Pluck, millet, edible mushroom, dried purple seaweed, bean products, orange,
melon seeds, peanut and banana. It is strictly prohibited to use vegetable oil,
fishy and spicy food, such as seafood, beef, mutton, frying, crab, garlic, raw
onion, caraway, dog meat, wine, coffee, aniseed, and all stimulating food. The
above food will overburden the kidneys. Patients can eat more vegetables and
fruits.
Patients should keep some diet principles as follows.
1. Control the protein diet.
Diet control can alleviate the symptoms of IgA Nephropathy and delay the
damage of normal nephrons. At the same time, it is benefit to reduce the blood
phosphorus and relieve the acidosis. However, low-protein diet should be made
according to the personal condition. Also, patients should pay attention to the
nutrition index detection, such as the quantities of serum albumin and total
protein, thus to avoid malnutrition.
2. The intake of protein should be mainly with high quality protein of high
biological which contains basic amino-acid, like chicken, lean meat and milk.
These kinds of food should be more than 60% of the diet. Patients should eat
less food which rich in plant protein as far as possible. Patients who enter
Chronic Renal Failure stage should be controlled with the intake of bean
products.
3. In order to provide the reference for patients, the intake of high quality
protein should be calculated according to patients’ weight. High quality protein
content is made of one egg white which approximates 6g of protein, 50g lean meat
which approximates 10g of protein and 100g milk which approximates 3g of
protein.
4. On the premise of high quantity of heat, patients should be given 0.6g/kg
weight of protein which can meet patients body’s basic demand. In general, it is
believed that it is necessary to control protein when GFR drops in 50m/min.
To keep a proper diet can relieve the process of illness condition. Patients
can take Immunotherapy which will protect kidney intrinsic cells and repair the
damaged cells. Renal cells which are differentiated from Immunotherapy can
replace the necrosis of cells and then restore kidney function. IgA Nephropathy
can be treated when kidney function is restored to a certain degree.
