Diet for children with renal failure

Nowadays, our quality of life is constantly improving, but it should be noted that the incidence of diseases has not decreased but has an upward trend, which requires our attention. The age of onset of renal failure has been decreasing in recent years, and many children are also facing the threat of renal failure. Children need active treatment after suffering from renal failure, and their diet also needs to be adjusted. So, what should children with renal failure pay attention to in their diet?

Many people always want to treat the disease through surgery or medication after they fall ill. In fact, we can also treat the disease through diet adjustment in our lives, formulate scientific diet plans, and better help children recover their health.

Diet for children with renal failure

1. Children with renal failure should have a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The gastrointestinal mucosa of patients with chronic renal failure, late-stage renal failure, and toxicity is often in a state of congestion and erosion. Eating irritating foods such as chili peppers and white wine will often aggravate the erosion of the gastrointestinal mucosa and cause bleeding in the gastric endothelial blood vessels.

2. Children with renal failure should be cautious when eating meat products such as dog, mutton, and beef. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dog meat, mutton, and beef are allergenic foods that can easily cause recurrence or aggravation of the disease. Clinically, patients with renal failure caused by systemic lupus erythematosus or nephritis have indeed seen their condition worsen or even die after eating beef or mutton. Whether this is a coincidence remains to be further observed, but patients with chronic renal failure are still advised not to eat such meat products.

3. Children with renal failure should eat soft food and avoid hard food and fried food. Chronic renal failure patients often have congestion and erosion of the gastrointestinal mucosa due to the retention of toxins in the body and blood microcirculation disorders. Eating hard food and fried food such as sesame cakes and candies, fried dough balls, etc. often causes food to cut blood vessels in the stomach and cause bleeding. Due to the coagulation disorders in patients with chronic renal failure, late-stage renal failure and poisoning, bleeding is difficult to stop, which can lead to death.

The above content is an introduction to the diet for children with renal failure. I hope it can be of some help to you. The causes of renal failure in children are very complicated, and children will experience severe edema after becoming ill. When a large amount of proteinuria occurs, we pay attention to supplementing the child with protein and vitamins during treatment to help the child enhance his or her body's resistance.
