The Health Diet For patients with FSGS

Keeping a health diet is s very essential in dealing with FSGS. Maintaining a proper diet plan contributes to slow down the progression as well as control some symptoms.

FSGS is the Stage 3 of IgA Nephropathy. At the first two stages, high blood pressure rarely appears. With the disease developing, the morbidity of hypertension tends to become higher. When it progresses into FSGS, hypertension will become one common symptom of patients. At that time, patients might take some food which helps preventing the elevation of blood pressure. Such as, fresh green vegetables, sea-tangle, agaric, oat, black rice, black fungus, nori etc. Meantime, patients can drink green tea or yoghourt.

Control the intake of energy; patients are advocated to complex carbohydrates, such as amylum starch, corn etc, so as to avoid the increase of blood fat.
In edema, patients should take low-salt (3~6g/d) diet instead of salt-free diet. You can take less high saturated acid food (animal fat) and take more low saturated food (plant oil) or high soluble fiber (vegetables, oat and rice bran).
As FSGS patients usually take long time of hormone medicines, they also can supplement some calcium medicine, such as calcium tablet.
