Patient's question:
I have nephritis, but I recently ate seafood. So, can people with nephritis eat seafood?Doctor's answer:
Patients with nephritis can consume seafood in adequate amounts because seafood is rich in minerals and high-quality animal protein. It helps digest protein to prevent malnutrition. However, seafood also contains a high amount of sodium, and excessive consumption can lead to edema, elevated blood pressure, and difficulty in controlling blood pressure. Therefore, patients with nephritis should consume seafood in moderation. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you.
