- Why might kidney or heart involvement require dietary changes?
When lupus affects the kidneys or heart, certain foods might need to be restricted to prevent further complications. For example, a low-sodium diet may be recommended for heart involvement to manage blood pressure and reduce fluid retention.
- What types of foods should be restricted if the kidneys are affected by lupus?
If lupus has impacted the kidneys, it may be necessary to limit foods high in potassium, phosphorus, and protein. This helps to manage the workload on the kidneys and prevent further damage.
- How can lupus patients determine the right diet for their condition?
Lupus patients must consult with their hematologist or a registered dietitian. They can provide personalized dietary advice based on the specific organ involvement and overall health status of the patient.
- Are there any general dietary recommendations for lupus patients?
Yes, a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is generally beneficial. Avoiding processed foods and those high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats can also help manage lupus symptoms.
