Is Chicken Meat Suitable For IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease)

Each of us love to eat chicken meat,of course, including IgA Nephropathy patients, and there are thousands of mouth-watering recipes for this meat that is high in protein content. But for people with IgA Nephropathy (Berger′s disease), they often wonder that whether chicken meat is good for them. Read on and try to find an answer to this doubt.
In the first place, we need to know the diet principles for IgA Nephropathy (Berger′s disease) so that we can make proper choice of foods. According to nephrologists, IgA Nephropathy patients should arrange a reasonable diet which is low-protein, low-salt (<2~3g/d or even less), low-potassium, low-phosphorus and high-vitamins, etc.
Actually, chicken meat is a good source of protein. White chicken parts such as the wings and breast, have the most protein. One 3 oz. serving of chicken contains 21g of protein. Then should they avoid chicken meat? The answer is ′NO′.
It is true that patients with IgA Nephropathy should limit the protein intake, but here protein refers to low-quality protein (such as soy bean and bean products). In their daily life, they also need to supplement high quality protein. The protein contained in chicken meat belongs to high-quality protein, so chicken is pretty good for patients with IgA kidney disease. Moreover, chicken can improve immunity, which is closely related to much taurine that it contains. Other nutrition facts of chicken meat are as follows.
Vitamins.Chicken meat contains B-complex vitamins: B-3, B-6 and B-12. These vitamins are all necessary for proper functioning of the human body.
Minerals.Chicken meat contains useful minerals for health and development, such as Zinc, Iron, etc. Zinc is a necessity for immune system functioning and wound healing. Iron is needed to help hemoglobin and myoglobin carry oxygen all over the body.
Fats. Chicken meat can be a healthy addition to your diet plan if you cook it without saturated or trans fats. Instead of adding breading and frying it, you can choose to grill, roast, sear or broil your chicken.
Even though chicken meat can be ate by IgA Nephropathy patients, not all recipes are suitable for you. With an improper cooking method, you disease may even get worse.
