Patient's question:
I have a child who loves sugar very much, but he is a polycystic kidney disease patient and is currently undergoing dialysis treatment. The family is also hesitant to give him too much sugar. I don't know if polycystic kidney disease patients can eat sweets? What should be paid attention to in daily diet? The whole family is very worried and looks forward to the doctor's reply.Doctor's answer:
Regarding the question of whether people with polycystic kidney disease can eat sweets, the answer is as follows: It is not advisable to consume beer, especially strong alcohol, as it should be avoided by patients with polycystic kidney disease. Do not eat fermented foods that have been cooked, such as fermented tofu or smelly eggs. Pay attention to a low-protein diet, which means you need to control your intake of meat and eggs. Animal organs, coffee, and chocolate should be avoided. Instead, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins. Foods rich in iron, such as red dates, leafy greens, peanuts, and black fungus, should be consumed more.
