Patient's question:
How should one pay attention to diet when suffering from nephrotic syndrome?Doctor's answer:
For patients with nephrotic syndrome, it is important to control water intake. The amount of fluid intake should be based on the previous day's urine output. Generally, the total fluid intake should be equivalent to the total urine output of the previous day plus 500 milliliters. At the same time, it is necessary to limit salt intake, keeping it below 3 grams. Additionally, protein intake should be restricted, and high-quality protein sources such as eggs and dairy products should be chosen. Appropriate calcium and calcitriol supplementation can help prevent osteoporosis and mitigate the side effects of hormones. For high blood lipid levels, phosphorus intake should be appropriately restricted.
