Can IgA Nephropathy Patients Eat Strawberries

Can IgA Nephropathy patients eat strawberries? Strawberries are packed with antioxidants and are known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties as well as for heart protection. So they are an acceptable choice for the renal diet.

Strawberries have some benefits for IgA Nephropathy patients:

1. Reduce kidney failure in diabetics

Scientists say in a new study that strawberries contain a compound called fisetin, which could reduce kidney problems that develop in many people who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

2. Lower cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease is one leading cause of death in kidney disease. Flavonoids in strawberries lowers the risk for heart disease and reduce the mortality rate.

3. Decrease high blood pressure

Vitamin C in strawberries can actually have the ability to decrease our blood pressure to a normal level, preventing the development of hypertension.

4. Alleviate constipation

Strawberries are high in fiber, which is important for moving food through your digestive system and helping bowel movements. This can help those with constipation or irregular stools in kidney disease.

Although IgA Nephropathy patients can eat strawberries, it is not enough to treat IgA Nephropathy. The treatment for IgA Nephropathy should be Immunotherapy. Immunotherapy treats IgA Nephropathy from adjusting abnormal immune system and removing immune complexes depositing in kidneys. In this therapy, western medicines and Chinese medicines are both used. Western medicines control symptoms like protein in urine, blood in urine, swelling and infection. After your condition gets stable, Chinese medicines like Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Mai Kang Mixture and Medicinal Soup are used to repair injured kidney tissues, discharge immune complexes from the body and improve kidney function effectively. Only when renal function is improved can you live a longer and high quality life. Immunotherapy and the above Chinese medicine treatments are only available in China. So if you want to get our treatments, you have to come to China for treatment.
