What Are The Foods To Be Eaten By A Dialysis Person

Kidney dialysis patients should have a special diet that they should adhere to for many reasons. Diet is an important thing a dialysis patient must consider. Food gives you energy and helps your body repair itself. What are the foods to be eaten by a dialysis person?

Diet includes choosing foods that are low in sodium, potassium and protein. Since the kidneys cannot filter out these, the body begins to retain them. High sodium can cause high blood pressure and lead to edema. High protein levels can cause a build up of nitrogen in the body. And while potassium is a vital mineral for bodily functions, too much potassium can lead to death. High potassium food should be limited or avoided like tomatoes, spinach, bananas, fresh avocado, oranges and figs. Better choices include apples, apricots, berries, green beans, cabbage and eggplant. As for protein in dialysis diet, a low protein diet includes not only reducing the total amount of protein, but increasing the quality levels of the protein that is eaten. The body processes high quality protein that is eaten easier than lower quality protein. High quality protein food includes turkey, chicken, low-fat red meat cuts and fresh eggs. Besides, dialysis patients can choose a healthy snack in between meals and for movie watching including apples, plain almonds, plain peanuts, rice cakes and gelatin.

Although proper food is important for dialysis patients, it is impossible to treat kidney disease if you only take dietary therapy. Besides, many patients are unwilling to take dialysis any more. In this condition, patients should take treatment which can improve kidney function. If kidney function is improved, it is possible to reduce dialysis frequency or even avoid dialysis.

Aside from dialysis, Blood Purification Therapy is an advanced therapy and it includes hemoperfusion, hemofiltration, immune absorption and plasma exchange. By taking Blood Purification, all kinds of wastes can be eliminated out of the body. Patients will not undergo dialysis anymore when patients’ blood is cleared up.
