As a Uremia Patient, Are You Taking the Right Diet?

Firstly, we should understand what the Uremia is and how it is caused. The Uremia experts of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Specialized Hospital point out: the Uremia is not a simplex disease but one auto intoxication syndrome caused by the accumulation of metabolite and other toxic substances in the body and it is a serious performance of Renal Failure.

The demand for the diet of Uremia is quite strict. The main source of nutrition of human body is diet and the reasonable regulation of Uremia patient's diet can effectively lighten kidney burden and reduce the accumulation of toxic substances in the blood and tissues, maintain the need of body and supply the sugar, vitamin and inorganic salt. When patient's disease processes into the Uremia stage, except the cooperation with doctor's treatment, the diet in the daily life also should be noticed.

The points should be noticed for Uremia patients are as following:

(1)The sufficient supplement of heat

As a result of the limit of protein, the intake of rice is also restricted, therefore, it is easy to cause the inefficient heat. Under this condition, the original protein in body will be consumed, which will make the urea increase and immunity poor, so the Uremia patients should take food with high carbohydrate and low protein.

(2)Limit of protein

Besides the strict limit of the intake, uremic patients also should select the high-quality protein source, such as meat, egg, milk.

(3)How to limit the intake of water?

Because the amount of urine for the Uremic patients reduces, the liquid will be detained in body, which will give rise to the edema, hypertension, even the pulmonary edema. So the patients of Renal Failure must limit the intake of liquid. If patient perspires much, the amount of water can increase. For the patient who is taking dialysis, since the ability of discharging the wastes is stronger, there are not many dietary restrictions, but it is better for patients to consult the nutritionist to design a set of recipes suiting ourselves according to own height, weight, the dialysis condition, amount of urination and the possible activity level.

(4)Limit the intake of sodion.

The excessive sodion in body will lead to hypertension, edema, ascites, pleural effusion, even the Renal Failure. There is large quantity of sodion in salt, soy, monosodium glutamate, tomato catchup, so the patients of Uremia should limit the intake of salt. When we go out for dinner, we can dilute our food with plain boiled water firstly.
