IgA Nephropathy Should Avoid Alepidote

Alepidote lives in deep ocean such as conger eel and moray eel. If you suffer from IgA Nephropathy and other kinds of kidney disease, you are not suggested to eat alepidote. Why should IgA Nephropathy patients avoid alepidote?

1.High cholesterol level in alepidote

Alepidote contains high cholesterol level. Kidney patients with hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease should eat less alepidote. However, some alepidotes like herrings and salmon are beneficial for kidney patients with high cholesterol level because they are rich in unsaturated fatty acids.

2.Disorder of lipid metabolism

Kidney patients are easy to suffer from disorder of lipid metabolism including hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia and combined hyperlipidemia familial. Therefore, they need to limit the intake of fat and cholesterol especially for diabetic nephropathy patients, nephrotic syndrome patients and end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.

Alepidote in Chinese medicines

In Chinese medicine, alepidote is not only high cholesterol but also stimulating food so kidney patients should not eat it.

Stimulating foods are easy to induce some diseases. As for kidney patients, they are not suggested to take stimulate foods.

Apart from paying attention to diet, the key point for kidney patients is to take treatment to repair injured kidney tissues and improve renal function. Only in this way can they live a high quality life. To improve renal function, we recommend Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is an external application based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Chinese medicines are first micronized into powder and then packaged into two medicated bags. With the help of osmosis device, the active ingredients in Chinese medicines can arrive at kidney lesion directly. They have the functions of dilating blood vessels, improving blood circulation, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix and providing nutrients. This can stimulate the recovery of injured kidney tissues and improve renal function gradually. In this way, kidney patients can live a high quality life.

Alepidote should be avoided by IgA Nephropathy patients. Before consuming any food, you should ask your doctor or consult our online doctor directly.
