Dialysis removes waste and chemicals from the blood. For people with IgA Nephropathy on dialysis, they are suggested to adhere to a proper diet that not cause extra complications. Is it ok to have walnuts for those with IgA Nephropathy on dialysis?
Walnuts contain heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids which help prevent heart rhythms, make blood less likely to clot, and impact how much plaque accumulates in blood vessels. The essential amino acid helps blood vessels relax and remain smooth, improving the elasticity of the blood vessel. This means improved mental function and protection against heart disease and stroke.
In addition to heart healthy ingredients, walnuts also contain a wealth of other nutrients, including vitamin E, the B vitamins, fiber, and several minerals. So they are good to eat for IgA Nephropathy on dialysis patients.
You can consult our online doctor about more good foods for your specific disease condition. The following are some good foods to eat.
Vegetables and Fruits
Low potassium foods like lettuce, cucumber and eggplant. Do not add salt to the vegetables you prepare. Salty foods increase your thirst and you may reach your fluid restriction too soon. Grapes, applesauce and blueberries are low in potassium.
Beverages
Fluids are vey important on a dialysis diet. The restriction of water intake depends on the urinary output and weight before and after dialysis. Chose drinks that are tasty since the intake are limited. Have coffee with nondairy creamer or half-and-half. Drink most juices like low-potassium grape and cranberry juice. Limit the dairy intake to avoid an overload of phosphorus. One serving daily of milk is also suggested for IgA Nephropathy on dialysis patients.
