Moreover, due to the long treatment time, patients will inevitably be thirsty, greedy or hungry. Many kidney friends want to know if they can eat during dialysis. What can I eat?
Can I eat during dialysis?
If hemodialysis patients have stable hemodynamics and no contraindications to eating, they should consider eating during treatment. Hemodialysis center should take diet and supplements as part of standard care for patients without contraindications.
In other words, as long as the dialysis effect is good, there is no discomfort during dialysis, and the patient's condition is stable, it is recommended to eat during dialysis, and each hemodialysis center should prepare some extra food for the patient.
Dialysis is good-encourage eating.
Kidney friends with good dialysis effect and no discomfort during dialysis should be encouraged to eat and improve their nutritional status.
You can have dinner, or you can prepare some foods that are easy to carry and eat, such as biscuits, bread, fruits, special nutritional supplements for dialysis, etc. However, we should pay attention to avoid some foods high in potassium, sodium and phosphorus, such as fast food and hamburgers.
Hypoglycemic kidney friend-must eat.
Hypoglycemia is a common acute complication in hemodialysis, especially in patients with diabetic nephropathy, which has a high risk and can be life-threatening in severe cases.
Regular diet can effectively prevent hypoglycemia. If you have hypoglycemia, you are encouraged to eat some high-carbon and high-moisture foods, such as steamed bread, steamed stuffed bun, candy and lotus root starch.
Low blood pressure kidney friends-avoid eating.
Hypotension is the most common and serious complication in hemodialysis, with an incidence of 20-30%. Eating will increase the risk of hypotension in patients.
Eating during dialysis will concentrate a lot of blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to low blood pressure. Patients with severe hypotension or repeated hypotension should avoid eating during dialysis to avoid inducing or aggravating hypotension.
Kidney friends with mild hypotension can try to eat a small amount of food 1 hour before dialysis and observe the changes of blood pressure. If you can bear it, it is also recommended to eat properly.
But be careful not to eat too much, too hot or eat a lot of simple carbohydrates, such as porridge, noodles and lotus root starch.
Nausea, vomiting, kidney friends-food should not be dry and hard.
It used to be thought that nausea and vomiting during dialysis were related to eating, but more and more studies proved that they were not related.
However, kidney friends who are prone to nausea and vomiting are still encouraged to give priority to frozen or sticky foods to prevent coughing or aspiration caused by dry and hard foods, such as lotus root starch, soft bread and yogurt.
When eating during dialysis, you should also pay attention to the following points:
1. Meal time is scheduled within 2 hours after boarding the plane;
2. Eat upright, that is, sit up and eat;
3. If you eat a lot of food, take phosphorus adhesive;
4. But it is not recommended to eat too much;
5. Don't choose foods with strong smell or cause thirst and cough;
6. Encourage the selection of foods with high protein content and low phosphorus content, such as egg white and nutritional preparations for dialysis.
Germany, Japan and many European and Asian countries believe that careful selection of diet under strict medical supervision may be a practical and patient-friendly strategy.
Scientific diet during dialysis can improve nutritional status, reduce inflammation, improve quality of life and overall survival rate.
Some snacks provided by cupid hemodialysis center for patients.
Aishen Chain Hemodialysis Center provides different foods for dialysis kidney friends, including low-phosphorus bread, egg white, soybean milk, dialysis special protein compound nutritional powder and so on. , and got a good evaluation.
Kidney friends who don't provide meals in dialysis center can also bring their own food!
