Patient's question:
My fourth aunt asked me to accompany her to the hospital yesterday, and after a thorough examination, it was found that she had diabetic nephropathy. She had diabetes before, but she never expected to also develop kidney disease now. Could you please tell me what dietary restrictions there are for diabetic nephropathy? I still hope she stays healthy.Doctor's answer:
Diabetic nephropathy, dietary precautions, mainly high-quality protein and very low protein diet. Excessive intake of plant protein, such as soy products or almonds, etc. Because plant protein has larger molecules than animal protein, it will increase the pressure on the patient's kidneys and enhance protein leakage. Secondly, it is important to keep blood sugar levels stable as much as possible, and appropriate oral medications can be taken to stabilize microcirculation.
