Cooperation and nursing in nephrectomy

After getting cancer, we not only need surgery, but also chemotherapy to completely kill cancer cells. Many people think that this is enough, and thus ignore nursing work, which results in cancer coming back and invading our bodies again. For kidney cancer, nursing work is also very important.

1. Chemotherapy for kidney cancer patients can cause poor bone marrow regeneration, especially a decrease in white blood cells. To effectively prevent a decrease in blood count, high-protein foods should be supplemented during chemotherapy, such as milk, soybeans, lean meat, pig's trotters, sea cucumbers, fish, animal livers, red dates, peanuts, walnuts, black wood, carrots, red beans, etc.
2. Family members should pay special attention to observe the diet, psychology and life changes of kidney cancer patients. It is very important to give full play to the support and auxiliary role of the family and create a good atmosphere and environment for treatment and recuperation for patients. The body temperature, weight and clothing of kidney cancer patients should also be taken into consideration, and try to keep the patients in a good mood.
3. Family members and patients should know that patients may still undergo some treatment after surgery. Among them, chemotherapy drugs can cause liver damage and elevated transaminase. At this time, you should eat more bitter melon, tea, mushrooms, fungus, Hericium erinaceus and other fungal foods, and eat more fruits rich in vitamins, such as kiwi, peaches, apples, grapes, etc. At the same time, some chemotherapy drugs can cause kidney damage, such as cisplatin. When using such drugs clinically, you should drink more water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
4. Kidney cancer surgery lacks digestive and grinding functions, so the chewing function of teeth should play a more important role. For rough and difficult to digest food, you should chew it slowly. If you want to eat soup or drinks, you should pay attention to separate dry and liquid, and it is better to cook more soup and eat more fresh food.
5. Patients who fast within 48 hours after renal cancer surgery should maintain water and electrolyte balance with intravenous infusion. If gas is exhausted, they can take a proper amount of liquid food. Patients are encouraged to drink more water, with a daily intake of 3000ml. Follow the doctor's advice, pay attention to the control of salt in the diet when transitioning to a normal diet, drink water properly, and supplement with high-protein foods, such as milk, soy milk, mashed potatoes, green bean mash, spinach mash, fish soup, etc., and can also be eaten with wolfberry fried meat. But be careful not to eat too much food. Try to eat less carbohydrates, don't be partial to one thing, and don't eat the same food repeatedly for a long time. The nutritional combination of the diet should be comprehensive, and try to achieve color, fragrance, taste, and shape to improve the patient's appetite.
6. Renal cancer is not sensitive to radiotherapy, but it also has a certain effect. Whether radiotherapy is necessary is considered based on the patient's specific situation. Most patients receive interferon and interleukin treatment after renal cancer surgery. In addition, it can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
