Improper diet can workload your kidneys. If you do not limit your diet, your kidneys will fail completely. Here we tell you proper diet in IgA Nephropathy patients to reduce their kidney burden.
1. Low salt, low fat, high fiber, moderate fluid, moderate sugar and moderate protein
Proteinuria can make you lose some protein and calcium. You can increase your protein and calcium through eating eggs, drinking milk, eating lean meat and fish. Staple food should be rice and pasta.

This can also help remove toxins in kidney patients.
2. Remove potassium, phosphorus and purine
Vegetables, fruits and foods with high calcium are often associated with high potassium and high phosphorus. This can burden your kidneys. Before eating vegetables and fruits, you can boil them with water. As for phosphorus, it can be excreted out of your body through calcium combining phosphorus and also you need to avoid eating ribs and dried small shrimps as well as high phosphorus foods. Besides, the main source of high quality protein is lean meat which contains lots of purine. You can eat lean meat after it is boiled. Bean sprout, sefood and animal organs are all high purine foods. Patients with gout should limit high purine foods strictly.
