1. Sodium salt intake: when edema, low salt diet should be taken to avoid aggravating edema. Generally, the daily salt amount should not exceed 2G. Pickled food is forbidden. Monosodium glutamate and alkali are seldom used. When edema subsides and plasma protein is close to normal, normal diet can be restored. 2. Protein intake: in nephrotic syndrome, a large amount of plasma protein is excreted from the urine, and the body's protein is reduced, resulting in protein malnutrition. Hypoproteinemia causes the decrease of plasma colloidal osmotic pressure, resulting in stubborn edema, and the body's resistance is also reduced. Therefore, in the absence of renal failure, a high-quality protein diet (1 ~ 1.5g / kg * d) should be given in the early stage, Such as fish and meat. 3. Fat intake: Patients with nephrotic syndrome often have hyperlipidemia, which can cause arteriosclerosis and glomerular damage, sclerosis, etc. Therefore, we should limit the intake of animal viscera, fat meat, some seafood and other foods rich in cholesterol and fat. 4. Taboos: spicy, fried, aquatic products such as sea fish, sea crab, chili, garlic, green onion, vegetables, dog meat. 5. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
