When the disease develops, excessive loss of protein appears in patients’ urine. Swelling is also accompanied due to the massive proteinuria. Additionally, the condition also includes red blood cells present in urine, hyperlipidemia attacks too. A special FSGS diet helps eliminate those symptoms and stops its further progression.
Accurate lab tests should be done before the doctor estimate your specific condition. Due to massive protein leakage, a diet with protein is possibly recommended by your dietitian. A high-protein diet used to be recommended but now they prefer a high quality protein diet without too much protein consumption. 0.8g/kg daily becomes perfect daily intake. Lean meat, certain fish, eggs and sprouts are all good sources of protein.
A person with FSGS should pay good attention to consume salt in their daily lives. Plus, the elimination of sodium from diet helps reduce serious edema. Avoid foods that high in sodium or salt, they can be processed meat, sausage, canned soup and cheese, things of that sort. A low-sodium diet includes rice, fresh vegetables and fruit.
Patients with FSGS may suffer from high levels of cholesterol, so eating foods that could lower high cholesterol levels, such as soluble fiber, are recommended. Why? Soluble fiber contributes to reduce excess of cholesterol.
Small meals daily work much better than three traditional meals, since small meals would reduce heavy pressure on damaged kidneys as much as possible. Lifestyle modification is required so as to boost the best possible therapeutic effects, quitting smoking if you smoke, and stopping drinking alcohol if you drink too. Living a healthy lifestyle helps boost not only those with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, but many healthy people.
