A must-read for kidney patients! Practical tips on choosing fruits!

Kidney diseases mainly include nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, renal failure and other diseases, which may also be accompanied by high blood sugar. Most of them need to limit the intake of water, salt, sugar, potassium and phosphorus. Therefore, patients can eat some fruits with less water content, lower salt content, lower sugar content, lower potassium content and lower phosphorus content.

1. Fruits with less water content: such as jackfruit, grapefruit, green dates, hawthorn, dried persimmon, etc., contain relatively less water. After eating moderate amounts, kidney patients will not cause significant changes in their condition, nor will they cause water and sodium retention to worsen;

2. Fruits with low salt content: such as pitaya, kiwi fruit, apple, etc., have low sodium content. Eating them in moderation will not cause excessive sodium intake and cause water and sodium retention;

3. Fruits with low sugar content: such as papaya, raspberry, avocado, etc., have relatively low sugar content. Patients with kidney disease and high blood sugar will not significantly increase their blood sugar after eating them in moderation, and they pose no obvious threat to the change of their condition.

4. Fruits with low potassium content: such as grapes, strawberries, pineapples, etc., have relatively low potassium content, and patients will not accumulate potassium after consuming an appropriate amount;

5. Fruits with low phosphorus content: such as black plum, papaya, and pear, have relatively low phosphorus content. The calcium-phosphorus product of the human body is a fixed value. Increased blood phosphorus can cause decreased blood calcium, which can easily cause osteoporosis. Therefore, patients with kidney disease can eat these fruits in moderation.

In addition to fruits, kidney disease patients can also eat a high-quality protein diet, limit protein intake according to the glomerular filtration rate, and focus on high biological value protein, especially milk and eggs.
