Precautions for IgA nephropathy

First: IgA nephropathy in the daily diet need to attach great importance to hyperlipidemia, medical research shows that high-fat diet can cause harm to cardiovascular. Similarly, hyperlipidemia can cause obvious damage to the glomerular capillaries of the kidney. Therefore, patients with this disease must avoid eating meat.

Second: Patients with IgA nephropathy need to control their protein intake, and they should eat low protein food (20-30g per day), because protein metabolites in the body, such as creatinine and uric acid, are excreted through the kidney, which directly increases the burden on the kidney and is not good for the kidney. After the improvement of renal function, the protein intake can be gradually increased.

Thirdly, if IgA nephropathy develops into renal insufficiency and uremia, the intake of water and protein should be strictly limited. Dry and thirsty, when you want to drink water, you can drink a small amount of water boiled by corn whisker, watermelon skin and wax gourd seed to reduce swelling.
