Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely weak. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Could you please tell me what dietary requirements there are for patients with kidney impairment?Doctor's answer:
Patients with kidney failure need to pay attention to their diet. They should not eat too much salt, drink too much water, or take medications randomly, as this may increase the burden on the kidneys. Additionally, their diet should be based on plant protein, and they can consume very small amounts of lean meat, fish, and beef or lamb. Fatty meat should be avoided, and they should not overeat. Beer should not be consumed, and staying up late should be avoided. It is important to maintain a calm mood, undergo regular renal function tests, and avoid catching colds.
