The diet of uremia patients should pay attention to the following aspects:
1, eat more animal protein such as milk, eggs, lean meat and fish, and eat less plant protein such as bean products, because low utilization rate of plant protein will aggravate uremia. Protein deficiency is more common in elderly patients. Muscle atrophy and weight loss require a relatively large amount of protein.
2. Sufficient heat can ensure the storage of protein. If the supplement is insufficient, it will lead to malnutrition; Excessive supplementation can cause hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. The calorie intake is mainly cereals, and sucrose and fruit foods are eaten less. Try to eat less, especially animals.
3. Dietary fiber can not only prevent constipation, but also help to lower serum cholesterol and triglycerides. The daily dietary fiber requirement of human body is about 20g. Foods rich in fiber include potatoes (potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. ), coarse grains (corn flour, sorghum flour, buckwheat flour, oat flour, etc. ), vegetables, fruits and hard fruit foods (peanuts, walnuts, etc. ). Hemodialysis patients can provide 20 grams of dietary fiber by eating 270 grams of vegetables every day.
4. Patients with less urine or less dialysis times and high blood potassium must strictly control foods with high potassium content, such as pears and bananas. If you have severe hypertension, edema or hypernatremia, you should control your sodium intake and eat 4- 5 grams or less of salt every day. Patients with oliguria, hypertension and edema should also strictly limit drinking water, and the amount of drinking water every day should not exceed the amount of urine discharged.
