Diet of children with nephrotic syndrome

summary

Nephrotic syndrome is a common pediatric kidney disease. It is a clinical syndrome with increased glomerular basement membrane permeability and loss of a large amount of protein from urine due to a variety of causes. It is mainly characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, severe edema and hypercholesterolemia. According to its clinical manifestations, it can be divided into three types: simple nephropathy, nephritis nephropathy and congenital nephropathy. Let's take a look at the diet of children with nephrotic syndrome.

Diet of children with nephrotic syndrome

First, limit sodium and water. To eliminate edema, sodium and water should be limited. Should be given according to the condition of low salt, no salt or less sodium diet.

Second, a low protein diet. Reduce the burden on the kidney. Low protein diet should not be too long to prevent anemia. High quality protein, such as egg, milk, lean meat, fish, etc. can be selected appropriately; beans and their products should not be used.

Finally, choose alkaline food. When suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, urine is slightly acidic, and food acidity and alkalinity can regulate urine pH. The supply of alkaline food makes the urine nearly neutral, which is conducive to treatment.

matters needing attention

Control potassium intake. In case of oliguria or anuria, the potassium supply should be strictly controlled, and the water content should be limited below 500ml per day. Avoid eating mushrooms, mushrooms, red dates, shellfish, beans, vegetables and fruits and other foods high in potassium.
