Question
What should one eat when kidney syndrome reappears with edema?
Answer
Renal edema is characterized by the initial accumulation of fluid in areas of the body with more relaxed tissue, such as the eyelids or face, and the ankles. In severe cases, edema can expand to the lower limbs and the entire body. For kidney edema, it is crucial to control the intake of water, sodium, and protein. Dietarily, one should consume high-quality protein and low-fat foods. Daily, you can drink a soup made of Du Zhong and goat kidney, which has the effect of warming and nourishing the liver and kidneys, solidifying essence and protein, and strengthening the tendons and bones. It is suitable for patients with kidney syndrome caused by liver and kidney deficiency coldness and low back pain.
