Kidney is one of the most damaged organs by hypertension, hypertensive renal damage enerally refers to small renal arteries damage and renal parenchyma which caused by essential hypertension. In simple words, Hypertensive Nephropathy is a kind of serious kidney damage which caused by hypertension. In most common situation, this kind of kidney problem is also related with diabetes, because hypertension is one of the symptoms about it.
To guide the patients correctly, nephrologist in our Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, China provides the several home remedies in the following contents.
Hypertensive kidney disease patients should eat food which contain more calcium and potassium, such as lettuce, yoghurt, potatoes, eggplant, kelp and so on. Eating high potassium food is helpful for discharging sodium and softening blood vessels which are good for lowering high blood pressure.
Patients should avoid eating the meat soup, because meat soup contains nitrogen which can promote generation of uric acid, thus increasing burden of liver, heart and kidneys.
Patients are required to limit intake of sodium. Proper decreased sodium intake contributes to lower blood pressure and reduce the water retention in the body.
Patients should limit intake of fat. When they are cooking, they should choose the plant oil and they can eat more marine fish. Marine fish contains a large amount of unsaturated fattyacid which is good for kidney health. It also can prevent thrombus and stroke. It also contains linoleic acid which increase the flexibility of capillaries and prevent rupture of blood vessels.
Proper protein intake is recommended to hypetensive kidney disease patients. The recommended protein intake is 1g/day per kilogram of body weight. Eating fish protein twice a week can improve the permeability and flexibility of blood vessels and increase the excretion of sodium. However, if patients with insufficient renal function, patients should limit intake of protein.
