Low-protein diet for kidney disease

There is a large number of kidney diseases, and any therapeutic diet for kidney disease is very complicated. It is important to know exactly the type and stage of the disease in order to prescribe the diet that is necessary for this patient. Unfortunately, for patients with kidney disease there is no universal nutrition. It is necessary to follow all instructions of the doctor strictly.

Food is strictly unsalted!

With caution: the reception of sea fish, goose, duck meat, brains. If the swelling has disappeared and the patient feels a significant improvement in health, the food can be started to be salted.

Renal insufficiency. Kidneys are unable to maintain the balance of salts and water in the body, are not able to remove harmful nitrogen compounds. A similar condition in medicine is called "uremia". The patient is constantly under the supervision of a doctor. Diet for a kidney disease of this nature should consist of energy-rich foods, in which the content of carbohydrates and fats is the highest. Be sure to use vegetable and butter, sugar, honey. Protein food should be limited. It should be taken often, but little by little. Preferred: milk (100 g), eggs (not more than 1 piece per day), potatoes (250 grams).
