Nutrition after a kidney resection

Radical removal of the part of the kidney that is affected by the tumor within the boundaries of healthy tissues is a resection of the kidney. Food after removing part of the kidney should be correct.

The first days after surgery, the patient's body will be supported by droppers. In three days the patient will be able to begin to eat a little. Most importantly, after resection of the kidney, only freshly prepared and fresh foods should be eaten. It is also important to store the products correctly. For example, vegetable oil can not be stored in a metal container. Also, oil does not like light - store it better in a dark glass container.

The next rule is to adhere to the power mode. You can not eat "dry".Also, the products must be selected in such a way as to minimize the burden on the liver and kidneys. The food taken by the patient should be rich in vitamins and trace elements, easily digestible.

The food after the operation should be balanced. It is recommended to include honey, vegetables, cream, sour cream, eggs in the menu. Meat and fish should be consumed only in boiled form. It is also not recommended to change the usual diet after resection of the kidney. For example, the transition from protein nutrition to a vegetable-milk diet.

The maximum smooth recovery should be after a kidney resection. It is not recommended to eat salty, spicy, smoked food. Do not take food with preservatives. It is also not recommended to consume large amounts of mineral water, since they contain a fairly large amount of salts in their composition. You can not include fried food in the patient's diet. At first, after the resection of the kidney, the patient will have pain. Painkillers should not be used. To reduce pain, experts recommend drinking kidney tea, decoction of field horsetail, cranberry or cranberry mors. The spasm of smooth muscles will thus be reduced, in addition, a diuretic and antibacterial action will take place.

Which products are recommended to give preference after operation

The average daily human need for fats is 90 grams. To this number should be attributed 30 grams of fats of vegetable origin. It is not recommended to use these 30 grams for frying products( in the oil, thermal substances form toxic substances).The remaining 60 grams of fat falls on cottage cheese, sour cream, meat and creamy meat.

Sources of proteins, it is desirable to choose low-fat pork, beef, sea fish, cottage cheese and eggs, soy. It is impossible to abuse proteins, since they create additional load on the kidneys.

The patient needs food rich in carbohydrates. The human body requires about 350 grams of starch, pectins, and fiber per day. From cereals after resection of the kidney, preference should be given to oatmeal and buckwheat. From flour products - bread with bran( if contraindications are absent - gastritis with high acidity, peptic ulcer).

It is recommended that patients after the operation consume more fruits and vegetables - they perfectly help the body to recover, because they are rich in useful substances. They in their composition contain a lot of fiber, which stimulates the activity of the intestine and gallbladder. These products contain natural antioxidants - beta-carotene, vitamin C. In addition, yellow and red vegetables and fruits contain bioflavonoids - they help the liver cells recover.

Also, after resection of the kidney it is recommended to include in the patient's menu fatty fish varieties, fish oil, which contain useful substances for the recovery of the body. It is advisable to use raisins and dried apricots, sea kale. It is very important not to overeat after the operation, so that the burden on the kidneys is not too big.

Recommendations for the use of medicines should be given by the doctor, since for each patient they have an individual effect. It is recommended to systematically take a decoction of dandelion or bearberry.
