Diet treatment after renal transplantation

Background:Now renal transplantation is extensively used and recetpted in the clinic for treating chronic renal failure.Nutrition support and diet treatment are necessary for postoperative rehabilitation of patients underwent renal transplantation.Rigid nutrition treatment could prevent and treatment postoperative diabetes mellitus,hypertension and hyperlipemia.Diet control was also necessary for patients receiving immunodepressant.Standards and protocol for diet treatment are unavailable now.The incidence of acute rejection and allograft failure during the first year posttransplantation has been greatly reduced by advances in operative techniques, immunosuppressive agents and our understanding of their toxicities, donor selection and preservation, and donor and patient management. However, life-long immunosuppression is required to prevent the development of chronic rejection. Thus, either chronic rejection or the adverse side effects of chronic immunosuppression limit long-term survival. There is increasing incidence that posttransplant lipoprotein abnormalities may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality following renal transplantation. In addition, there is some indirect evidence that posttransplant lipoprotein abnormalities may influence the progression of chronic transplant nephropathy. While there are no intervention trials examining whether antilipemic therapy is beneficial in the prevention of CVD in renal transplant patients, it is reasonable to assume that the benefits of treating hyperlipidemia in renal transplant recipients may be comparable to those found in the general population. Objective:Protocol for diet treatment was determined for patients underwent renal transplantation to reduce renal load,promote recovery of renal function,and decreased the incidence of complications.
