Master, Doctor Le Thi Ngoc Van, Head of Nutrition Department of People's Hospital 115 said that patients with renal impairment need to take a reduced protein diet. The normal protein requirement is about 1g per kilogram per day. For people with renal impairment, this need is about 0.5-0.8g per kg per day, depending on the degree of kidney failure.

When the kidneys fail, urea is produced during the metabolism of protein that builds up and is toxic to the body. Therefore, just half the normal amount of protein is enough. After severe kidney failure, patients often have anorexia, poor appetite and nausea, especially when eating fish meat. So you need to drink another 1-2 cups of milk a day to ensure protein needs.

For people weighing 50-55kg, need to provide protein about 50g of meat, fish every day, 1-2 cups of nutritious milk and a cup of rice back each meal.

Here are the notes for patients with renal impairment:

Do not use salty sauces.

Limit potassium

Potassium is a mineral salt found in many foods, especially in leafy vegetables and dried fruits. When potassium is elevated or lowered, it is dangerous, can cause arrhythmia, cardiac arrest. Therefore, when kidney failure, especially edema and urination are low, it is necessary to limit the intake of foods high in potassium.

The need for potassium 2-4g per day depends on the degree of kidney failure.

Water demand

If kidney failure is mild, the amount of urine is normal, no edema is needed. If there are edema, urinate less then the need for water + urine + 500 ml. Example of urine = 500 ml a day. Total water demand = 500 ml + 500 ml = 1,000 ml (including broth, soup, milk, filtered water), 1 cup of soup, soup equivalent to 150 ml, 1 cup of milk equivalent to 150 ml.
