Diet of Patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease(PKD) in Summer

In the late stage of Polycystic Kidney Disease, it is often complicated by high blood pressure. In hot summer, Hypertension patients with PKD often feel dizzy and have a headache. They feel pain in their heart. Some patients are easy to get cerebral thrombosis due to the hot weather. Hypertension patients with PKD should drink more water and eat less salt in summer, which is good for preventing Hypertension. Now we will talk about diet of Hypertension patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease in summer.

The relationship between Hypertension and thrombosis

Research has proven that there is often damage of different degrees on vascular endothelial Funeng therapy of Hypertension patients. In summer patients perspires much and hemoconcentration is easy to occur. When patients are sleeping, their blood stream is slow, which can lead to occurence of thrombus easily. So hypertension patient with PKD should pay attention to replenishment of enough water. Patients should pay attention to drinking water even if they do not feel thirsty very much. Water needs to be supplied in time when patients perspire too much. Especially green tea or cold water is better for patients. They can also eat some fruit containing much moisture. Research finds that the fact that stroke is easy to occur in the morning is related to hydropenia at night. So when patients wake up in the middle of the night, they should drink proper quantity of water, which can lower blood viscosity and is good for preventing thrombosis.

High salt and high fat are both the factors which cause a rise of blood pressure. Patients with hypertension should limit their intake of salt within 6 gram each day. At the same time, they should eat more food containing plenty of potassium. Specific measures are as follows:

1. Convert dietary salt including sodium in all food into salt. Patients should take 4-6 gram of salt each day.

2. Patients should eat more fresh vegetable, fruit, milk and soybean products.

3. Patients should eat less of fatty meat such as pork and they should eat more of fish and poultry food which contain plenty of protein and also contain less fat.

4. Patients should drink 250 gram of milk each day and should not eat more than 4 eggs each week.

5. Patients should limit alcohol consumption.

Besides,Hypertension patients with PKD should also avoid eating a lot of watermelon when they eat fruit. If patients eat a lot of watermelon in a short time, moisture within their body will increase, which exceeds human physiological capacity. But for the Renal Insufficiency patients, their kidneys′ ability of regulating water reduces greatly. Their kidneys can not regulate and excrete excessive moisture which enters into the body. So blood volume increases rapidly and patients are easy to die due to Acute Heart Failure.
