Diet for children with uremia

Uremia generally only occurs in the elderly, but sometimes children also suffer from this disease. Once a child suffers from uremia, it is important to pay attention. In addition to some treatments from doctors, daily diet is also a factor that affects the condition. Since children are more prone to dehydration, they must not stop drinking water and must always pay attention to replenishing water. Various trace elements are also essential.

The condition of children with uremia is relatively rare, and many parents are helpless about it. There is no other way except to seek help from a doctor. In fact, the condition can be improved through some diet. As long as the following precautions are taken, I believe the child will recover soon.

diet

1. Replenish water and salt in time. Children with this condition can easily become dehydrated, leading to dehydration and low sodium levels, especially if they have a long-term loss of appetite. So pay attention to replenishing water and salt. However, it should be noted that children with uremia have poor tolerance to water and sodium, so supplementation should not be excessive to avoid hypernatremia or water intoxication. At the same time, children should also pay attention to calcium and potassium supplementation.

2. The diet is rich in vitamins. Children should supplement more vitamins, especially vitamin B,

C, D. The calories should not be less than 35 calories per kilogram of body weight. If the child has a lot of urine and no obvious edema, there is generally no need to restrict his water intake.

3. Patients should mainly eat low-protein food, and the protein should be mainly animal protein containing essential amino acids for the human body, such as milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, etc. The daily protein intake for children is 20 grams. This not only ensures the supply of essential amino acids for the body, but also enables the body to use non-protein nitrogen to synthesize non-essential amino acids under low protein supply, thereby reducing azotemia.

Through the detailed introduction in this article, I believe you already know what to do to improve the child's condition, and these are the nutrients that the child lacks during the illness, so don't underestimate these eating habits. Many people ignore these details, so the child's condition recovers very slowly.
