Nephrotic patients must be alert to malnutrition

Chronic kidney disease can be described as "silent killer". Kidney is in a state of disease, the ability of the kidneys to metabolize wastes greatly diminishes, protein catabolic wastes such as urea, creatinine, guanidine and so on will accumulate in the blood to become uremic toxins. Patients with advanced nephropathy, most of them have varying degrees of nutritional deficiencies.

In order to improve the quality of life of patients with chronic renal insufficiency, improve disease resistance, delay the progression of chronic kidney disease, kidney disease nutrition treatment is very important, for example, in chronic kidney disease, reduce food protein intake, that is, low protein diet , Can reduce the production and accumulation of protein catabolic substances, thereby reducing the damaged kidney of the working state of high load, delay the progress of renal insufficiency.

Low-protein diet therapy is an important means of non-dialysis treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the simple low-protein diet, may make the clinical symptoms of chronic kidney disease in the short term has improved, but very prone to malnutrition. This will be based on the specific circumstances of the patient, the development of different dietary prescription, to reduce azotemia, improve metabolic acidosis, add essential amino acids, improve protein metabolism, reduce insulin resistance, improve glucose metabolism, improve lipase activity, Lipid metabolism, reduce high blood phosphorus, improve hypocalcemia, thereby delaying the progress of chronic kidney disease.
