Fish are nutritious, but there are four types of people who should avoid eating them.

1. Patients with bleeding disorders should avoid eating too much fish

These patients already have a low platelet count and poor blood clotting function. Fish contains a protein called EPA, which inhibits platelet aggregation. Eating fish can worsen capillary bleeding.

2. Patients with cirrhosis should avoid certain fish

Fish fat contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is an unsaturated fatty acid. Its metabolites can lower blood lipids and blood viscosity, and inhibit platelet aggregation, which is beneficial for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. However, in cirrhosis, the body has difficulty producing clotting factors, and with a low platelet count, bleeding is easily induced. Eating fish rich in EPA, such as sardines, tuna, and mackerel, can easily worsen the condition.

3. Tuberculosis patients should be cautious about eating fish during anti-tuberculosis treatment

When tuberculosis patients take isoniazid, eating certain fish at the same time can easily cause allergic reactions.

4. Patients with gout should not eat fish

Because fish is rich in purine substances, and gout is caused by a disorder in the body's purine metabolism.
