Red umbrella, white pole, creatinine increases several times after eating

Aunt Sun from Yunnan, 58 years old, was diagnosed with uremia last winter. After more than half a year of treatment, her creatinine remained at around 300 μmol/L. With the arrival of midsummer, it is the season when wild mushrooms grow well in the mountains. Aunt Sun picked some wild mushrooms in the mountains as in previous years, preparing to enjoy a feast and replenish her body. However, what she didn't expect was that on the night of the feast, she suddenly found that she had less urine and the color of her urine turned red. She also had symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. After rushing to the hospital for treatment, the examination found that her creatinine was as high as 1132 μmol/L.

Aunt Sun told the doctor that her family eats mushrooms every year at this time, but this has never happened before. Later, after detailed questioning by the doctor, it was learned that Aunt Sun had eaten the scutellaria baicalensis, and the case was solved. Aunt Sun's relapse this time was because the scutellaria baicalensis is slightly toxic. If it is cooked correctly, it may be fine for ordinary people to eat it. However, if a kidney disease patient eats it, it is easy to induce renal failure.

In addition to the green hand, there are many other wild mushrooms that can cause acute renal failure, and in severe cases, even death, such as Amanita erinaceus, Amanita rufous, Amanita pseudobrown, and Russula subsparsely folded. It can be seen that the toxins in wild mushrooms are very harmful to the kidneys, so patients with kidney disease should strictly refrain from eating toxic wild mushrooms.

If you accidentally eat poisonous wild mushrooms, how should you treat it?

Symptoms of wild mushroom poisoning often include nausea, vomiting or diarrhea within a few minutes to 3 days after eating. After the poisoning reaction occurs, you should call the emergency number as soon as possible and go to the hospital for treatment. If you don't have time to see a doctor, you should induce vomiting and gastric lavage or catharsis, such as drinking a lot of warm water or dilute salt water, and then stimulate the throat with a hard object to expel the unabsorbed toxic substances from the body as soon as possible to prevent the poisoning from worsening. For patients with a long period of poisoning, oral magnesium sulfate catharsis or warm soapy water enema drainage can be used to expel toxins. In addition, atropine, sulfhydryl detoxifiers, adrenocortical hormones, Ganoderma lucidum decoction and other drugs can also be used for treatment. Specific drugs should also be reasonably selected according to the condition. For those with severe poisoning, blood purification treatment should be performed, such as blood perfusion, blood filtration, plasma exchange, etc. These are all effective means of early treatment of toxic wild mushroom poisoning. Some patients will also have complications such as confusion, toxic hepatitis, and acute liver and kidney failure, and need intensive care treatment. In addition, you need to take photos of the mushrooms you eat and bring any remaining samples so that professionals can identify them, determine effective treatment measures, and judge the prognosis.

Having said so much, what fungi can kidney patients eat?

Fungi are rich in dietary fiber, B vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. So, facing the temptation of fungi on the table, are kidney patients really out of reach? The answer is no. Scientific research shows that the following fungi can be eaten in moderation by kidney patients.

Given the current medical technology conditions, there is no specific detoxification treatment for wild mushroom poisoning in normal people, and it is even more difficult for patients with kidney disease. The way to avoid wild mushroom poisoning is to not pick or eat them at will.
