Patients with Chronic Glomerulonephritis have low resistance and immunity,
and weak physique, especially for patients with Anemia, Hypoproteinemia, and
Renal Insufficiency. Physical activity is a very energetic form of exercise, and
tiredness is the main inducement for aggravating to Chronic Glomerulonephritis
and declining renal function.If you need personal specific diet for chronic glomerulonephritis, you are suggested to leave a message to kidneyask@hotmail.com or you can consult our free online service below the article.

There are many causes to lead to Chronic Glomerulonephritis recurrent
attacks. Firstly, pathologic types of nephritis. Some pathologic types are
irreversible, such as Focal Segmental Glomerulonephritis; secondly, unreasonable
drug use, especially reasonablely using hormone, cytotoxic drugs and hypotensive
drugs is important. Inpatients can usually do this well, and outpatients will
ignore it easily. For patients with dormant clinical symptoms usually don't
follow doctor's advice, increasing or decreasing dosage or stopping taking.
Thirdly, immunity. Patients with Chronic Nephritis have a low immunity,
especially patients with anomia and hypoproteinemia. Their physique and immunity
has been low, and they are easy to be tired and infected. Once they live and
work irregularly, the disease will aggravate by infection (especially upper
respiratory infection) and tiredness, and even demonstrates with acute outbreak
Chronic Nephritis or leads to deterioration of renal function. Fourthly, renal
toxicity drugs misuse. The common misusing drug is aminoglycosides antibiotics
such as gentamicin, which will lead to renal function deterioration and Urimia.
In addition, when the condition is not stable, pregnancy, long-distance tour and
sports activity are also factors of recurrent attacks or deterioration. Kidney
damage is deteriorated by improper diet.
To delay the development of CN and protect renal function, doctors and
patients must cooperate with each other. Patients should pay attention to kidney
state any time, and strictly follow professional doctor's guidance to choose and
take medicine, and don't try any medicine and believe folk prescription,
especially before not sure pathologic types. Patients should form a good living
habit, having a proper work and rest, not too tired, even the disease is stable.
Don't take a long-distance tour and obsess with work. Patients should take
suitable activity to enhance disease resistance. Patients with renal function
damage mustn't use renal toxicity drugs. For diet, patients should follow
doctor's advice to choose food, and don't take tonics freely.
Patients with CN should eat food with high quality low protein,low
phosphorous and high vitamin, and increase sugar intake to ensure enough heat
and reduce protein breakdown. If patients have edema and (or) high blood
pressure, they should be limited the intake of sodium salt. Patients should have
a scientific and proper diet.
Water,sodium intake: sodium intake should be less than 3 g/d; patients with
severe edema should be less than 2 g/d; the water intake can be more 500ml than
total volume of urine in previous day
Protein intake: controlling protein intake can also lower phosphorous intake.
Generally, the daily protein intake is 0.6g/ kg of body weight, half of them is
high quality protein (animal protein contains essential amino-acid), such as
eggs, lean, milk and so on.
Energy intake: daily energy intake is 30 ～ 35 kcal/kg
