Patient's question:
These days, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Can children with kidney disease take calcium supplements?Doctor's answer:
To maintain growth and development and replenish lost protein, the protein intake for children with nephrotic syndrome should be 3-5 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. The ratio of plant protein to animal protein should be 1:1, and fats should be obtained from plant-based foods such as margarine and vegetable oil. Vegetables and fruits, which contain fiber and pectin, can help lower cholesterol when consumed long-term. The amount of salt required for children with nephrotic syndrome can be the same as that for patients with acute nephritis.Children with nephrotic syndrome need to receive symptomatic treatment based on their individual conditions to control the disease and have a chance of being cured.
