Dietary therapy for uremic patients

1、 The combination of uremic diet and treatment has always been a problem that medical workers pay attention to. Although a lot of guidance has been given, many uremic patients are still blank on uremic diet, and often lead to poor treatment of uremic patients because of improper diet. Uremia, also known as chronic renal insufficiency, can be divided into three stages according to the degree of renal insufficiency: renal insufficiency compensatory stage, azotemia stage and uremia stage.   

2、 The earliest and most prominent manifestation of uremic diet is in the digestive tract, including anorexia, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, glossitis, stomatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc. Uremia itself is prone to abnormal diet, therefore, reasonable diet of uremia is very important. In the stage of azotemia and uremia, the patients should mainly take low protein diet, and the protein should be mainly animal protein containing essential amino acids, such as milk, eggs, fish, lean meat and so on. The daily protein intake is 20g. This not only ensures the supply of essential amino acids for the body, but also enables the body to synthesize non essential amino acids with non protein nitrogen under the condition of low protein supply, so as to reduce azotemia.   

3、 Food should be easy to digest and contain sufficient vitamins, especially vitamin B, C and D. To avoid the mechanical damage of coarse food to the digestive tract and lead to gastrointestinal bleeding. The patients with good appetite in the stage of azotemia should not have less than 35 calories per kilogram of body weight, but in the stage of uremia, it can only depend on the patient's appetite. If the patient has a lot of urine, edema is not obvious, generally do not limit the amount of drinking water.
