Summer is coming. Patients with PKD should adopt reasonable diets during the
scorching summer to prevent from the aggravation of this disease. Kidney disease
experts advise the patients adopt low-salt food and food containing less
potassium, phosphorus, fat, and protein but rich in vegetable crude fibre in
order to keep the bowel open. So what are the diets taboos of PKD patients in
summer?
Taboo 1, the food containing high protein: no matter with which type of
kidney disease, the patients should adopt diets containing less protein to avoid
the combining of nitrogen class metabolites in human body and to reduce the
excretion of kidney. This kind of food includes soybean, bean curd and other
bean products.
Taboo 2, fermented food: the fermented food we said here mainly means the
bacterium class fermented food, including fermented bean curd, rotten eggs and
etc. This kind of food may accelerate the growth of cysts.
Taboo 3, liquor: liquor, especially the white spirit, is very dangerous for
PKD patients. Because liquor can stimulate the activity of cysts protein, which
will accelerate the growth of cysts.
Taboo 4, animals' viscus: even the cooked animal viscus are not suitable for
PKD patients, especially the animal livers. There is a saying in China: eat
animals' viscus and tonify our human viscus. Indeed, it is not true. The main
component in animals or poultry kidney is protein, so the nutritive value of
animal kidney is similar with that of the meat of other part. Besides, during
the animal slaughter process, a large amount toxin had been left in the animals'
livers and kidneys, especially the livers. If those animal viscus are taken in
by patients, they undoubtedly will increase the burden of kidney and aggravate
the patients' condition.
In addition, kidney disease experts remind the women patients with PKD that
chocolate should also be prohibited. If you have other questions about PKD,
