1. Can pregnant women eat pork kidneys?

Pork kidneys are pig kidneys. When cleaning the pig's kidneys, you can see a light brown gland inside the white fibrous membrane, which is the adrenal gland. It is rich in corticosteroids and medullary hormones.

If a pregnant woman accidentally ingests adrenal glands, the corticosteroids in them can increase the blood sodium level and reduce water excretion, thereby inducing pregnancy edema. Medullary hormones can promote glycogenolysis, accelerate the heartbeat, and induce diseases such as gestational hypertension or hyperglycemia. At the same time, symptoms of poisoning such as nausea, vomiting, numbness of the hands and feet, and muscle weakness may occur.

Therefore, when eating kidney, be sure to remove the adrenal glands.
