Regarding nutrition, people with kidney failure should not eat too much foods rich in calcium and protein such as clams, oysters, shrimp, crabs ... In particular, eating salty will lead to the body holding water, increasing the burden. for kidney. Patients with kidney disease should only eat 2-4g salt / day and reduce protein consumption depending on the degree of kidney failure.

Besides, drinking lots of water is an effective solution to help the kidneys filter out toxins and debris out. The general rule is that water should be sufficient for the body (the average person needs 2.5 liters of water / day). If urine is small, drink plenty of water. In the stage of severe renal impairment, patients limit water intake to reduce pressure on the kidneys and do not use diuretic beverages like tea or coffee.

The treatment of renal failure is carried out in two directions: conservative treatment (proper diet combined with medication) and alternative treatment (extra-renal dialysis, kidney transplantation). Depending on the stage of renal failure (acute, or chronic, ..), the age of the patient that has appropriate nutrition. 

 

People with kidney failure should strictly follow the diet.

Ensure water and electrolyte balance: Eat a moderate amount of sodium below 2000mg / day. Dietary potassium restriction when blood potassium above 6 mmol / L (potassium amount is 2000-3000 mg / day). Limit or moderate use of potassium-rich foods. Limit foods rich in phosphate, phosphate less than 1200 mg / day.

Limit drinking and drinking water when directed by a doctor, but the amount of water provided for the body is calculated as follows:

Provide enough vitamins and minerals. Eat 4 meals / day.

Recommended foods: Starch (sweet potato, taro, vermicelli); sugar (sugar, sugar cane, honey, sweet fruits); fat (can eat about 30-40g / day, preferably vegetable fat); calcium supplements (milk); vitamin supplements (groups B, C, folic acid ...).

Liquid

The amount of water should be used daily = 300 to 500ml (depending on the season) + daily urine + the amount of fluid lost, limiting carbonated drinks, alcohol (beer, wine ...).
