Dialysis is a common choice for patients with chronic renal failure, but dialysis patients with chronic renal failure have to pay attention to some diets if they want to recover better, so there is also a saying that dialysis patients with chronic renal failure should pay attention to their diets. Then everyone should not have a good understanding of this knowledge, so the following therapists will explain in detail the dietary precautions of dialysis patients with chronic renal failure. Dietary considerations for dialysis patients with chronic renal failure. Limit the intake of protein. Patients with chronic renal failure should adopt a high-quality low-protein diet. The intake of protein should be limited to reduce the burden on the kidneys. But if you eat too little, it will consume the muscles and internal organs of your body and cause malnutrition. They should eat animal protein foods with high quality and physiological value, such as fresh milk, eggs and meat, but the quantity should be controlled. The utilization rate of plant protein in the body is low, and more nitrogen-containing waste is produced after metabolism, so it is not allowed to be eaten at will, such as beans (red beans, mung beans, edamame, broad beans, edamame and pea kernels), bean products (tofu, dried beans and soybean milk) and nuts (melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, cashews and millet). Dietary considerations for dialyzers with chronic renal failure II. Take in enough calories. When limiting protein's intake, in order to avoid insufficient calorie intake, we can eat more foods with high calorie and extremely low protein. Use vegetable oil (such as soybean and peanut oil), low-protein starch (such as wheat starch and lotus root starch) and sugar (such as rock sugar, honey, ginger sugar and fruit sugar) to make various delicious snacks to avoid excessive weight loss. Of course, patients with diabetic nephropathy should limit their sugar diet. Dietary precautions of dialyzer for chronic renal failure 3. Be careful with the water control. When patients with acute renal failure urinate less, water will accumulate in the body, and the load of cardiovascular system will increase, which will lead to inactivity, systemic edema, weight gain, cough, shortness of breath when lying down, decreased hematocrit, and complications such as hypertension, heart failure and pericarditis. Dietary considerations for dialysis patients with chronic renal failure 4. Pay attention to salt control. When acute renal failure occurs, water and salt cannot be discharged, which may easily cause edema and aggravate hypertension. Patients should eat no more than 5 grams of salt every day. You can use sugar, onion, ginger and garlic to improve the taste. Foods high in sodium, such as processed canned food, pickled and smoked products, sauces, pickles, pickles and fast food, should be restricted. If you have a bad appetite, there is no need to limit salt. Take nutrition as the premise, and then limit salt until you have a good appetite and sufficient nutrition. Dietary considerations for dialyzers with chronic renal failure 5. Be careful of too much potassium ion in the blood. When suffering from acute renal failure, potassium ions can't be excreted by the kidneys, which can cause hyperkalemia. In severe cases, it can cause numbness of fingers, fatigue, weakness of limbs, chest tightness, stiff tongue, difficulty in speaking and loss of consciousness. In severe cases, it can cause sudden death due to arrhythmia or cardiac arrest. The above are the contents of dietary precautions for dialysis patients with renal failure.
