What Kind of Fruits and Vegetables Are Good for Nephrotic Syndrome

Fruits and vegetables are often suggested to eat for Nephrotic Syndrome patients due to their rich nutritive values. But do you know what kind of fruits and vegetables are good for Nephrotic Syndrome? If you do not know, I can give you some general guideline in the following. For personalized diet plan or treatment plan, please contact online doctor.

As a matter of fact, Nephrotic Syndrome patients seldom have restrictions on fruits and vegetables. Because almost all the fruits and vegetables are high in vitamins, fiber, phytochemicals, antioxidants, etc. They are all good for health. Vitamins can help you boost immune system and protect you from cold, flu and infection so as to reduce the relapse of Nephrotic Syndrome. Vitamins can also help your body absorb iron and calcium, regulate blood pressure, etc. Fiber helps lower cholesterol level so as to reduce the risk of heart disease.

However, you pay attention to the acceptable daily intake (ADI). ADI is made according to your medical condition. Because some fruits and vegetables are rich in potassium, such as dark leafy greens, avocados, mushrooms, bananas etc. When your blood potassium level is high, you should limit the intake of such fruits and vegetables, because too much potassium can cause rapid heart beat, weak muscle and so on. Moreover, fruits and vegetables high in oxalic acid should be restricted, because your damaged kidneys can not remove these oxalic acid from the body. They may accumulate in the blood, forming kidney stone.

Besides fruits and vegetables, Nephrotic Syndrome patients should pay attention to other kinds of food, such as low protein diet, low salt diet, low fat diet, etc. Renal-friendly diet and aggressive treatment can help you slow down the progression to kidney failure and live a better life.

Hope the above information is helpful for you. If you have any other questions on kidney disease or want to get more personalized and professional treatment suggestions, please leave a message below.
