Hi I believe this is the same case as previously.. deduced from your age and proteinuria. Dear patient, there is no diet to cure your illness. You can drink 2L water if your edema has subsided Restrict salt intake in general 4-5g / day Protein 1g/kg body weight (avoid supplements) natural protein is fine.
