慢性肾脏病人要如何吃得健康?

了解如何吃得好

当肾功能开始退化时,慢性肾脏病人可能需要调整饮食以防止多余的废物和水分在体内堆积,其目的是维持现有的肾功能并且延缓慢性肾脏病进展至第5阶段 – 肾衰竭(此阶段病人需要洗肾或接受肾脏移植)。病人的饮食需求也会随着肾脏病的进展而变化。

切记:
蛋白质
  • 末期肾脏病前期的病人蛋白质需求量比起洗肾病人来的少。
  • 虽然受损的肾脏在慢性肾脏病早期的阶段仍能运作, 但是它们还是无法很好地清除体内的代谢废物。
  • 摄取过多的蛋白质会增加肾脏的负担, 从而对肾脏造成更大的损害。
  • 摄取足够但不过量的蛋白质有助于保持肾功能和避免增加肾脏的负担。您的营养师或医生会告诉您一天需要摄取多少蛋白质。
  • 随着肾功能退化而无法有效地过滤代谢废物, 血液中的磷含量将会增加。
  • 血磷含量过高会导致皮肤瘙痒、关节疼痛、眼睛不适以及骨质疏松易碎。
  • 当肾小球滤过率降低及血液检测显示血磷过高时,慢性肾脏病病人可能需要限制饮食中磷的摄取。
  • 避免食用高磷的食物, 例如:
    • 沙丁鱼、江鱼仔和虾酱
    • 加工食品和罐头食品, 例如: 肉或鱼类的罐头食品、香肠、肉饼
    • 乳制品, 例如: 牛奶、芝士、酸奶
    • 豆制品, 例如: 各种坚果、种籽、绿/红豆汤
    • 麦芽饮料, 例如: 美禄 (Milo)、好立克 (Horlicks)、阿华田 (Ovaltine)
    • 巧克力和制成品
    • 动物内脏,例如: 肝、肠
    • 骨头熬炖的汤底, 例如:鸡爪、猪骨
    • 可乐
  • 钾是人体内重要的矿物质, 主要是帮助维持神经和肌肉的正常功能。
  • 血液中的钾含量过高可能会导致肌肉无力、心率异常, 在极端情况下, 还会导致心脏衰竭。
  • 病人的钾需求量随着肾脏病的不同阶段而改变。如果血液检测显示血清钾水平过高, 慢性肾脏病人可能需要限制钾的摄取。
  • 避免食用高钾的食物, 例如:
    • 高钾含量的水果和蔬菜
    • 全麦或未精制的谷粮、面包和饼干
    • 坚果、种籽和制成品,例如:巧克力、花生酱
    • 椰子和制成品, 例如: 椰浆、咖椰 (kaya)
    • 罐装/新鲜蔬果汁、传统草药、浓咖啡、浓茶、可可 / 麦芽饮料、牛奶、酒精饮品
    • 椰糖、糖蜜、枫糖、太妃糖、甘草
    • 高钾含量的代盐、瓶装酱、浓缩蔬菜汁/肉汁、鸡精、浓缩汤块

小贴士!您可以把切好的蔬菜浸泡在水中一到两小时, 然后把水分沥干烹煮, 以减少食物中的钾含量。

  • 钠天然存在于几乎所有食物里,多数加工和包装食品中都含有钠, 而盐则是膳食中钠的主要来源之一。
  • 摄取太多的钠会增加口渴的感觉, 导致病人喝过多的水分。这将使体重增加,因而导致血压升高,并加重心脏的负担。
  • 限制钠的摄取将帮助肾脏病人维持正常的体液平衡
  •  减少钠摄取的小贴士:
    • 限制烹调时加入的盐/酱料
    • 避免使用味精块和浓缩肉汁, 例如: 保卫尔牛肉汁 (Bovril)、妈蜜 (Marmite)
    • 避免食用瓶装浓缩鸡精
    • 阅读食品的营养标签, 选择每100克食品中钠含量低于120毫克的产品
    • 减少食用罐头和加工食品。如无法避免, 可在食用前把盐水沥干
    • 在烹煮时, 使用香料或天然调味料来取代盐/酱料
    • 使用新鲜酸柑、柠檬汁或醋来提升食物的味道

注意!肾脏病人应谨慎使用盐替代品, 因为它们的钾含量通常很高, 不应在未咨询医生或营养师的情况下使用。

水分
  • 除非得到肾脏内科医生的指示, 否则慢性肾脏病人在早期阶段一般不需限制水分的摄取。
