Can kidney transplant patients eat pepper

summary

Kidney transplantation is a procedure in which a healthy kidney is transplanted into another person, usually to restore its function quickly. The purpose is to compensate for the loss of function of the recipient's corresponding organ due to a fatal disease. Nowadays, kidney transplantation is very successful. Every year, more than 20000 people are saved or their quality of life is improved because of the successful operation. And those organ donors are doing a lot of good. Now I'm going to tell you the question about whether kidney transplant patients can eat pepper.

Can kidney transplant patients eat pepper

First: no pepper for kidney transplant patients. Fat: to limit the intake of cholesterol, should be controlled below 300 mg per day, reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids.

Second: inorganic salt: the intake of potassium should be strictly limited within 56 days after operation. Generally, 40 mmol (about 1.56 g / day) should be supplied daily. If the patient has polyuria, it is not necessary to limit potassium. However, when the daily dose of potassium is more than 60 mmol (2.34 g / day), the blood potassium should be monitored, and the amount of potassium supplement should be adjusted immediately according to the blood potassium level. In the early stage of renal transplantation, the intake of sodium should be completely limited due to the lack of urine; in the convalescent stage, if there is no hypertension, 80 mmol (3.12 g) sodium can be supplied daily. Renal transplant patients should be given 800 mg to 1200 mg of calcium per day.

Third: supplementary nutrition: oral and enteral nutrition is the main way for renal transplant patients. If the patient urinates the second day after the operation, the patient can be given oral nutrition. Full fluid should be used at first, 5-6 times a day, and it can be changed to semi fluid 3-5 days after operation. When the patient's anti rejection drugs are reduced to the maintenance dose, they can be transferred to the normal diet of 3 meals a day.

matters needing attention

Here I would like to give you a warm tip: because transplant recipients will use hormones in combination with immunosuppressants, and hormones will lead to increased appetite, if the diet is not properly matched at this time, it will often cause unhealthy obesity, commonly known as "full moon face" and "buffalo back". The most unfavorable point of weight gain to the health of the recipient is that it will increase the metabolic burden of the kidney, and the drug dosage has to be increased accordingly, thus forming a vicious circle.
