Patients with nephritis can eat wolfberry, but it has no obvious effect on treating nephritis.

The occurrence of nephritis is mainly related to autoimmune dysfunction. Clinical manifestations are hematuria, proteinuria, edema, and hypertension. Some patients may experience decreased renal function. For the treatment of nephritis, the main thing is to control blood pressure and urinary protein. The preferred drugs are ACEI or ARB drugs, such as irbesartan and benazepril. When necessary, hormones and immunosuppressants are also needed. to control the condition.

Through drug treatment, controlling the patient's blood pressure within the normal range and controlling the 24hUP quantitatively within 0.5 grams is equivalent to controlling nephritis and preventing the progression and deterioration of the disease. You should also pay attention to regular follow-up visits to monitor changes in your condition.

But one thing we need to emphasize is that if a patient with nephritis has progressed to chronic renal failure and is accompanied by hyperkalemia, the consumption of wolfberry needs to be controlled. Because the potassium content in wolfberry is relatively high, if chronic renal failure has been complicated by hyperkalemia, eating wolfberry may cause blood potassium to further increase, posing a danger to the patient's life. Therefore, when patients with nephritis eat wolfberry, it is best to eat it under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, the patient's renal function and electrolyte changes should be regularly monitored.
