肾脏移植病人要如何吃得健康?

均衡饮食至关重要

均衡的饮食对于维持身体和移植后的肾脏的健康起着非常重要的作用。病人在接受肾脏移植后的初期需要特别遵守一些饮食原则。

营养师会指导并帮助肾脏移植病人根据个人需求来计划饮食。

肾脏移植病人可能会觉得这饮食计划比起透析饮食更容易遵守,因为新的肾脏将能够更有效地维持体内钾和磷的平衡。

维持肾脏健康的小贴士:

1. 保持健康体重

  • 在肾脏移植后, 体重增加是很常见的。
  • 在肾脏移植后, 由于病人的整体身心健康的改善和类固醇药物的影响, 这将会增加病人的食欲。
  • 把体重保持在身体质量指数 (BMI) 的健康范围内 (18.5-22.9kg/m2) 可以帮助降低高血压、心脏疾病、糖尿病和中风的风险。
  • 您应定期测量体重, 并保持活跃!如果您需要改变你的饮食习惯, 请咨询您的营养师。

2. 维持血脂在正常水平

  • 在肾脏移植病人中, 血脂异常非常普遍。
  • 当总胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇和三酸甘油酯的指数过高时, 会增加患上心脏疾病的风险。
• 养成健康的饮食习惯 (如以下所示) 可以帮助控制血脂, 保持心脏健康:

3. 控制您的血压

  • 大多数肾脏移植病人仍然需要限制钠的摄入量。
  • 免疫抑制药物, 尤其是类固醇, 可能会导致水分滞留体内, 而摄取过多的钠会加剧这个情况。
  • 在肾脏移植前后, 控制血压是非常重要的。
  • 将每天的钠摄入量限制在2000毫克以下。

4. 维持健康的骨骼

  • 在肾脏移植手术后初期, 骨质密度会迅速下降。

  • 药物 (Prednisone) 、甲状旁腺功能亢进症和维生素D代谢异常将导致钙质吸收的减少, 使得骨骼变得更脆弱。

  • 女性, 尤其是更年期后女性, 有较高的骨质流失风险。

  •  医生将为肾脏移植受益者检查是否患有骨质疏松症, 并建议适合他们的保护骨骼健康的方法, 包括服用钙补充剂、在日常饮食中加入两份乳制品, 如低脂牛奶、芝士和酸奶。

注意!肾脏移植病人不应该自行服用任何保健品, 以免损害新的肾脏。

5. 预防贫血

  • 肾脏移植病人也可能会有贫血的问题。

  • 饮食中缺乏铁, 叶酸和/或维生素B12可能导致贫血。

  • 有效的预防和治疗贫血, 将有助于维持良好的身体状况和降低死亡风险。

6. 食品安全

  • 由于器官移植病人的免疫系统较弱,因此更易患上食源性疾病, 例如:李斯特菌症 (Listeriosis)。
  • 肾脏移植病人应遵循食品安全预防措施, 例如:尽量减少吃生的食物 (如沙拉、生鱼片等)。
  • 请咨询您的营养师以获取更多有关于食品安全的信息。

常见问题

肾脏移植病人在手术后需要遵守高蛋白质饮食, 以帮助组建被大剂量的类固醇分解的肌肉组织。

然而在接受移植的几个月后, 您的蛋白质需求与一般健康成人是一样的。您可咨询营养师关于您在修复期时所需的蛋白质摄入量。

只要健康的肾脏顺利移植,移植病人将不再需要限制钾的摄取。

然而,一些移植药物可能会提高或降低体内血钾水平。若您有服用这些药物,您可能需要根据您的血钾水平来调整饮食,所以定期检测是很重要的。

糖尿病患者需要遵守健康的饮食、糖尿病药物治疗(如有需要)和定期的运动。您可与您的医生和营养师一同讨论如何改善您的饮食习惯和控制血糖。

葡萄柚,由于含有呋喃香豆素 (Furanocoumarin), 它将影响肾脏移植病人的某些药物代谢,包括环孢素 (Cyclosporine) 、他克莫司 (Tacrolimus) 、钙通道阻滞剂 (Calcium Channel Blockers) 和他汀类 (Statins) 药物。因此,建议肾脏移植病人避免摄取任何形式的葡萄柚。
