Patient's question:
How should children with kidney failure diet, which is the best hospital for kidney disease treatment in Beijing?Doctor's answer:
Diet for Pediatric Renal Failure When the glomerular filtration rate in children drops below 50% of normal, their growth rate decreases, primarily due to insufficient calorie intake. Although it is unclear how much calorie intake is appropriate during renal insufficiency, it is best to ensure that calorie intake is equal to or higher than that of the child's age group. Unrestricted carbohydrates such as sugar, jam, honey, and glucose polymers, as well as fats like medium-chain triglycerides, can be used to increase calorie intake in the diet, but the patient must be able to tolerate them. When blood urea nitrogen exceeds 30 mmol/L (80 mg/dL), patients may experience nausea, vomiting, and anorexia, which can be alleviated by restricting protein intake.
