Patient's question:
Problem Description: Doctor, hello: I would like to ask if patients with IGA nephropathy (with hematuria but no protein) can eat high-protein foods like sea cucumber? Now the doctor says I have internal heat and I am taking clearing heat and expelling dampness Chinese medicine, but I feel weak all over. Do I need to drink chicken soup or pigeon soup? Or are there any other dietary precautions I should take? Please guide me.Doctor's answer:
Actually, diet isn't very important. It's mainly about light eating, combined with a high-protein, low-fat diet. Pay attention to preventing fatigue, keeping warm, and avoiding colds. If you feel any discomfort, seek medical attention promptly and have regular follow-ups for your kidney function!
