What are the precautions after nephrectomy

summary

My husband always says that he can't urinate, and his abdomen is always very painful. I didn't want to go to work these days because of the pain. So I accompanied him to the hospital for examination, and found that he had a renal tumor and needed nephrectomy for treatment. Today, let me talk to you about the precautions after nephrectomy.

What are the precautions after nephrectomy

First, if one side of the kidney is removed, then after recovery, the most important thing is to protect renal function. Any drug, behavior or disease that affects renal function should be avoided as far as possible, because if the other side of the kidney has problems, then there will be no other kidney metabolism.

Second: pay attention to urination. If the urine volume is less than 500ml within 24 hours, we should be alert to dehydration or renal failure. According to the clinical situation and laboratory examination results, we should prevent non protein nitrogen increase, acidosis, water and electrolyte disorder, and carry out anti infection treatment.

Third: the diet of patients after operation is very important, which requires semi liquid food as the main food, easy to swallow and digest. Food with less crude fiber can be selected, such as rotten noodles, porridge, vegetable puree, meat puree, steamed chicken cake, milk, etc. Avoid frying, vegetables with more crude fiber, or stimulating condiments, should pay attention to supplement a variety of vitamins and inorganic salts.

matters needing attention

After the nephrectomy, the renal function is still normal. During the operation, only the diseased part is removed, and the normal part can completely complete the function of the kidney. As long as after the nephrectomy, it is enough to pay attention to the local nursing.
