a) Limitation on excessive protein intake. Less high-protein food can improve azotemia, relieve the renal damage caused by proteinuria and be helpful to reduce the phosphate in blood and relieve acidosis, for the protein intake is often accompanied by phosphorus and inorganic acid ionic intake. Generally speaking, the 0.6g/kg protein intake can satisfy the physiological requirements of human organism. So the daily protein intake for chronic kidney disease patients should be no more than 30-36g. The proper food with protein for chronic kidney disease patients are mainly fish, mean meat, chicken and milk. What’s more, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients should eat less food with vegetable protein, such as soybean and other food made from soybean.Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) Stage 3
b) More high-heat food. Sufficient carbohydrate can supply enough heat to human body，and reduce the degradation of protein for supplying energy (catabolism). Sufficient carbohydrate supply can also alleviate azotemia and make the best use of amino acid from high-protein food. 6J/kg heat quantity is needed each day, mainly from the food rich in carbohydrate such as rice, wheat and corn. Besides, foods like sweet potato, taro, potato, apple and lotus root etc. are also rich in carbohydrate, which can be eaten between meals when patients are hungry.Diet to Improve Kidney Function A Daily Diet for Kidney Disease Patients
More vitamin intake. Due to limitations on diet and the metabolic abnormality caused by disease, patients with Chronic Kidney Disease often suffer from vitamin insufficiency. So, patients should take more food rich in vitamin, and especially vitamin B, vitamin C and folic acid. And these vitamins mainly exit in fruits and vegetables like tomato, rape, chives, citrus, and hawthorn and so on. All in all, patients with chronic kidney disease should take more fresh fruit and vegetables.
