What should patients with IgA Nephropathy pay attention to about their diet? It is a question many patients care about. Now, Funeng Kidney Disease Hospital will introduce what patients should pay attention to about their diet.

IgA Nephropathy is a kind of glomerulus disease which is caused by various reasons but has the same immunopathology characteristics. 40%-45% of the patients in clinic have gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria; 35%-40% have microscopic hematuria and urine protein; the rest have nephrotic syndrome and Kidney Failure. Therefore, patients with IgA Nephropathy should pay attention to their diet. They should do this from these aspects:
For the diet of patients with IgA Nephropathy, doctors often mention the high protein diet in the lessons. Patients with IgA Nephropathy should eat light liquid or semifluid food with high heat and high protein.

The study and clinical research indicate that IgA Nephropathy has relation to eating milk, cheese and soy protein, especially broad bean. Fresh broad bean can cause allergy and hemolysis. Therefore, patients with IgA Nephropathy should be restricted to eat this kind of food. Eliminating the glutelin in the diet can reduce the deposition of mesangial IgA and lower down the level of IgA complex. However, this method is difficult to apply to clinic in a long time, for its long-term meaning is not clear. So patients should pay attention to all the factors that have effect on their disease.

Patients with IgA Nephropathy should drink more water or beverage. Water is the source of life. (if there is no special case, for example, the doctor allow not to drink much water ) Drinking more water is an important aspect in patients’ diet, and their relatives can urge them to drink water.

Patients with IgA Nephropathy should not drink liquor. Drinking too much liquor can aggravate Hematuresis of patients, for the liquor contains alcohol which can stimulate mucosa and blood vessel and make the urinary organ have more serious inflammation. Meanwhile, mucosa hyperemia makes the red blood cells easy to leak, which form hematuresis.

Patients with IgA Nephropathy should not eat hot food. Restrict the stimulation of hot food to patients. Hot food such as garlic and hot pepper can stimulate urinary mucosa and make it have hyperaemia and edema. Meanwhile, the red blood cells are easy to leak, which form hematuresis.

Through the above introduction of the diet of patients with IgA Nephropathy, it is good for the patients’ recovery. If you have more questions about IgA Nephropathy, you can go to normal hospital to consult. Also, you can ask the on line experts for help, they will explain for you in time.
