Chronic glomerulonephritis is a disease caused by damage to the glomeruli region, the disease progresses slowly and lasts for many years.
The main cause of the disease is acute glomerulonephritis, glomerulonephritis with nephrotic syndrome, possibly due to systemic disease or metabolic disease such as diabetes mellitus.

It should be noted to avoid doing heavy and overexerting work, along with adequate rest.
Enhancing disease prevention: To avoid cases of pharyngitis that develop into acute glomerulonephritis, it is necessary to take early preventive measures such as gargling or washing hands properly.

Besides treatment, the care of patients with chronic glomerulonephritis plays an extremely important role. In which, adjusting the diet for people with chronic glomerulonephritis is an important factor in patient care.
Limit the absorption of foods containing protein: People with mild chronic streptococcal disease need to limit protein and salt in each meal, the daily amount of protein provided is about 0.8g/kg body weight is reasonable. For moderate and severe patients, the first time must be strictly limited, the daily protein intake is 0.5g/kg body weight, equivalent to half the supply of the normal person.
Try to find ways to use foods that contain good protein, like eggs; Dairy cows; lean meat... When the disease improves, gradually increase the amount of protein, but the daily protein intake must not exceed 0.8g/kg of body weight. Limit the absorption of sodium salt: Regular table salt contains sodium chloride, too much sodium will increase edema as well as increase blood pressure, if the patient appears edema and hypertension, it should be limited. Or don't eat salt at every low-salt meal. The average daily salt intake should stop at 6g/day.

Limiting the absorption of potassium appropriately: Some salts are reduced with potassium salts, but when the patient appears to have little urine; urinary retention or high blood potassium, immediately stop taking potassium salts, as well as limit the use of vegetables and fruits high in potassium, such as bananas; potato; fruit juice; vegetable juice; meat juice.
Limiting water absorption: You should monitor the amount of urine daily, more or less, but control the amount of fluid input. The capture method is usually to subtract the amount of urine from the previous day, and then absorb another 0.5 - 1 liter. The patient's urine output is too little with edema, the daily amount of fluid absorbed should be less than 1 liter.
Total calories just right: patients in bed, providing calories should not be too much, carbohydrates and lipids are the main sources of calories, accounting for about 90% of the total amount, but the lipid content should not be too much, as well as Use oils containing a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, ie with vegetable oils as the main.
Provide vitamins: many vitamins should provide enough. Because vitamin C antagonizes allergic reactions, the more adequate supply should be, some people suggest a minimum of 300mg daily.
Eat and drink heat: less greasy, abstain from stimulant foods, such as: alcohol, coffee, chili...
