Can kidney patients eat spinach?
For patients with kidney disease, we should pay great attention to their diet. Some patients with vegetable nephropathy are not allowed to eat, such as tofu and spinach. The increase of creatinine is due to renal fibrosis, and the nephron with normal filtration function is replaced by fibrous tissue, losing its detoxification function. The key to treatment now is to stop the deterioration of the disease so as not to go to dialysis. So the diet of kidney disease is very important. Kidney disease beans: mainly refers to tofu, tofu skin, vegetarian chicken, dried tofu, gluten, baked bran and other foods processed from soybeans, soybeans, broad beans, red beans and mung beans. These foods are rich in nutrition, low in fat and free of cholesterol. Among them, protein is higher than mutton, and it is a vegetable protein, which is an ideal dish for the elderly, hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis. However, for patients with renal insufficiency, a large amount of protein diet will increase the excretion of urinary protein and aggravate renal function damage, so it is best not to eat it. Kidney patients with normal renal function can eat soy products in moderation, but not in excess. Bamboo shoots: Sexual shock, sweet taste, can clear away heat and benefit water. However, according to modern research, bamboo shoots contain more insoluble calcium oxalate, which is not good for people with chronic nephritis and renal insufficiency and should be avoided. Water bamboo: commonly known as water bamboo. According to modern analysis, Zizania latifolia contains more oxalic acid and insoluble calcium oxalate. Therefore, people with urinary calculi should eat more and often eat water bamboo. Ginger: It's warm and spicy. Gingerone in ginger can stimulate urinary tract mucosa such as bladder, which can aggravate the inflammatory reaction of urinary tract infection. Therefore, for patients with urinary tract infection, whether it is cystitis or urethritis, it is not appropriate to eat more ginger. Spinach: it is sweet and cool, and some areas think it is a hair growth food. Lin Yi Brick Kiln also thinks that eating too much will lead to sores. Wang Mengying, a food doctor in Qing Dynasty, once pointed out that patients should avoid eating it. According to the clinical observation of modern medicine, after some patients with nephrotic nephritis eat spinach, they can see the increase of urinary canal type or salt crystals, and the urine color becomes muddy. Therefore, patients with kidney disease should avoid eating spinach or eat it carefully. Pepper: an infectious disease of urinary system, which is considered by traditional Chinese medicine to be a hot shower caused by damp-heat pouring into bladder. Pepper is pungent and spicy, and it is very easy to help heat. In the Qing dynasty, it was also believed that eating hot and dry liquid would consume qi and hurt yin. Therefore, patients with urinary tract infection and bladder fever should not eat more peppers, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. The above introduces some recipes that are not suitable for patients with kidney disease. We found that spinach was among them. Therefore, patients with kidney disease had better not eat spinach, which is not good for the treatment of kidney disease.
