High-Vitamin Diet for Nephrotic Syndrome Patients

Nephrotic Syndrome Patients should pay attention to diet.

Vitamin plays a part in the energy metabolism of our human body, and the deficiency of it can

cause disorders of energy metabolism. Many blood coagulation factors and anticoagulation factors

are vitamin K-dependent. And the deficiency of the two factors will affect the hemostatic process

and the blood coagulation process. Vitamin D plays an important role in regulating calcium and

phosphorus metabolism. And folic acid and vitamin B6 also play a part in treating kidney disease.

In patients with Nephrotic Syndrome, no matter renal impairment or Renal Failure, all these

changes of the renal function will cause vitamin metabolism disorders, especially when

glucocorticoid is adopted in treating Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome.

When people develop Nephrotic Syndrome, the absorption and metabolism of vitamin will be affected

by the medicines the patients take, thus affecting the normal physiological activities of the

patients and further aggravating the patients' condition. In addition, vitamin can not be

synthesized in our human body, but is mainly supplemented by diets. Therefore, patients with

Nephrotic Syndrome should supplement enough vitamins by taking high-vitamin diet.

their daily diet. Generally, fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, such as pears,

apples, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

patients with Nephrotic Syndrome should especially pay attention to. Cod liver oil is the food

which contains vitamin D most.
