Patient's question:
Doctor, one of my male friends is 48 years old this year. He has nephrotic syndrome, and he has been living at my house for some time. My breakfast has always been based on soy milk and bread. I would like to ask the doctor, can people with nephrotic syndrome drink soy milk?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, the patient is diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, and the patient may experience recurrent symptoms such as edema, large amounts of proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, and hyperlipidemia. The patient should pay attention to rest, prevent fatigue, prevent infection, and avoid the use of nephrotoxic drugs. Follow the doctor's advice to take oral medications on time. In terms of diet, it is important to maintain a long-term low-salt, low-fat, high-quality low-protein diet, with protein intake of about 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. It is best to base the diet on high-quality proteins such as egg protein, fish meat, lean meat, and soy protein. The patient can consume soy milk, but the intake should be controlled.
