Hypertensive nephropathy patients should follow a strict diet to slow down
the progression of disease. Here we introduce the basic rules about diets.
1. Moderate intake of protein.
Protein is the essential nutrient of our human body, but ifthe protein intake
is too high, it will increase the kidney burden and kidney damage; If intake of
shortage, it will affect the body′s nutrition supply. So the patient should be
based on renal function condition to decide the intake of protein: If patients
have no obvious renal impairment, protein intake should be controlled within 50g
or so every day; If showing some apparently unusual symptoms, such as the serum
creatinine and urea nitrogen, etc., protein intake should be reduced to 20-40g
in daily.
2. Control the calories.
Appropriate calories should be decided according to the condition of the
patients, which generally maintain ideal weight as the standard. Because the
patients often have lipid metabolism disorder, so reducing fat intake not only
helps to control the calories but also can improve the metabolic disorders.
3. Limit the intake of salt and high vitamin.
The patients with hypertensive nephropathy should control the intake of salt
and avoid the salty foods; Besides, the preservative foods also should be eaten
less. The enough intake of vitamin especially B vitamins is benefit to control
the body metabolism. And when necessary, the patients can take vitamin
supplements.
Following a healthy eating plan can help lower blood pressure. A health care
provider may recommend the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating
plan. DASH focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other foods that are
heart healthy and lower in sodium, which often comes from salt. The DASH eating
plan
is low in fat and cholesterol
features fat-free or low-fat milk and dairy products, fish, poultry, and
nuts
suggests less red meat, sweets, added sugars, and sugar-containing
beverages
is rich in nutrients, protein, and fiber
