Kidney cyst is a common kidney disease, which affects people’ physical and psychological health. Patients not only need to take treatment actively, but also need to pay close attention to their diet. Well, what is a scientific diet for kidney cyst patients?

Experts of Shi Jiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital recommend a scientific diet as follows:

1. Enough calorie intake

Calorie intake affect the muscle protein synthesis directly. Therefore, patients need to intake sufficient calorie per day.

2. Salt intake

Salt intake should be on the basis of patients’ condition, degree of renal function. Besides, all chronic renal dysfunction patients need to limit salt intake strictly.

3. Water or fluid

In simple kidney cyst, since kidney concentration function declines, the metabolic products in body need more water and then can be removed from kidneys. Therefore, if kidney cysts patients have no obvious edema, coronary heart failure and high blood pressure, they should not limit water intake blindly.

4. Protein limitation

Modern medicine thinks that more or less protein intake are both bad for kidneys. In particular, if protein is consumed too much, it will produce more metabolic products. Urea, creatinine, guanidine, polyamine and certain molecules are all metabolism of nitrogen. Control protein will lighten kidney burden, reduce toxins in the body and relieve your medical condition.

Diet is helpful for kidney cyst patients, but it is not enough to remove cysts. If cyst is less than 3cm, no medical treatment is required and diet can be helpful. However, if cyst is larger than 3cm, only diet management is not enough. Diet should combine a medical treatment to inhibit cyst grow. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is such a therapy that can shrink kidney cyst and improve renal function. As long as cyst is shrunk, the relative symptoms will be alleviated effectively. And patients can live a relatively normal life.
