Principles attention of children with nephrotic syndrome diet

Almost all children with nephrotic syndrome, hyperlipidemia, children with nephrotic syndrome diet should limit the intake of animal fat, supplying children with nephrotic syndrome diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (such as fish oil) and vegetable oils (soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil). Edema height limit sodium intake, daily intake of less than 3 grams of salt, appropriate micronutrient supplementation. Following the principle of children with nephrotic syndrome diet Note:
(1) fat intake: patients often have hyperlipidemia, this can cause arteriosclerosis and glomerular injury, sclerosis, etc., so children with nephrotic syndrome diet should limit animal offal, fat, some seafood and other foods rich cholesterol and fatty food intake.
(2) protein intake: the incidence always, a large number of plasma proteins from the urine, human protein decrease in protein malnutrition, hypoproteinemia plasma colloid osmotic pressure decreased, resulting in edema Stubbornly difficult to eliminate, body resistance also will fall, so no renal failure, its early, most of the children with nephrotic syndrome diet should be given a higher quality protein diet (1 ~ 1.5g / kg * d), such as fish and meat. This helps to alleviate some of hypoalbuminemia and consequent complications. However, high-protein diet can renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate increased, the glomerular capillary at high pressure, while the intake of protein also increased urinary protein can accelerate glomerular sclerosis. Therefore, for chronic, non-polar phase of pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome, a relatively small amount of high-quality dietary intake of protein (0.7 ~ 1g / kg * d), as for chronic renal damage, it should be a low-protein diet (0.65 g / kg * d).
(3) sodium intake: edema in children with nephrotic syndrome when eating into the low-salt diet should avoid increased edema, generally no more than 2g of salt per day is appropriate, disable preserved foods, less MSG and food base, edema subsided, when close to normal plasma proteins, restore normal diet.
(4) micronutrient supplementation: As patients increased permeability of the glomerular basement membrane, in addition to the loss of large amounts of protein in the urine, but also at the same time lose some trace elements and hormones and protein binding, resulting in the body of calcium, magnesium, zinc , iron and other elements deficiency, children with nephrotic syndrome should be given appropriate diet supplement. Generally eating vitamin and trace element-rich vegetables, fruits, grains, seafood, etc. be added.
