Suggest Diet Plans To Lower Urea Level

Hi doctor, my father is 77 years old. All the while, he has high blood pressure and under medication. Recently he has diagnosed of prostate cancer (3rd stage) and there was two stones in his right kidney. This has caused his kidney swollen. The blood test result showed that his urea was 284. After operation, one of the stones was removed and the urea has dropped to 234. May i know what foods can he take to reduce his urea and what type of foods he should not consume. What kind of diet he should take in order to control his prostate cancer?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

To control urea, reduce the intake of purine rich food. Meals with liver, sweet breads, kidney, red meat should be avoided for they have high purines level which result in high blood levels of uric acid. Water intake should be increased. Fresh fruits & vegetables along with butter milk is recommended. Eggs are low in purine but if blood pressure is high should not be give on daily basis. Consult a dietitian for appropriate protein intake. You can add cornflakes, porridge in the diet along with pears/plums. However, dietary advice are always given on factors dependent on the type of treatment the patient in on, blood reports, body weight along with consideration of other medical conditions. It is good to consult a dietitian & get the food charting done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
