For polycystic kidney disease patients, certain foods should be avoided because they can worsen the symptoms or even stimulate the cysts to experience rapid growth. Salty and fatty foods PKD patients often have high blood pressure which will become worse and worse along with gradual loss of kidney functions. Therefore salt and fat intake should be limited to help control blood pressure and alleviate fluid and sodium retention in the body. Fast foods, restaurant foods and highly processed foods often contain a lot of salt and fats, therefore it is better that PKD patients should have healthy home-make diets and foods under the doctor and dietitian’s guidance.
Coffee, chocolate and caffeine-containing foods and drinks It is recommended that PKD patients should drink more water to help increase urine output and wash more wastes from the kidneys and the body. Caffeine on the other hand can easily cause dehydration and worsen high creatinine and high BUN. What is worse, caffeine can stimulate the proliferation of cyst cells and promote the secretion of cyst fluid so as to cause the cysts to grow more rapidly than the normal progression. Added sugars Foods that contain rich added sugars usually contain few nutritions. Eating too much added sugars can cause weight gain and increase blood pressure and blood triglycerides and increase the risk of heart problems. Therefor high-sugar foods such as candy, syrup, jelly, soft drinks should be avoided or limited. Besides, polluted foods, animal offals, sea foods, spicy and stimulating foods, alcohol and tobacco should all be avoided for PKD patients.
