[...] votre médecin, aidé par la diététiste, pourrait vous proposer un régime pauvre en protéines. Les protéines sont contenues dans les viandes, la volaille, les poissons, les œufs, les produits laitiers, les noix et les graines. L’utilisation des protéines par l’organisme produit des «déchets» que les reins doivent éliminer. Limiter les protéines permet donc d’alléger le travail des reins endommagés. 3, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9gime%20pauvre%20en%20prot%C3%A9ines
