Seven Fruits for People with Kidney Failure

Nowadays, there are more and more patients with kidney disease, and most of them are caused by unreasonable lifestyles and diets. Therefore, after being diagnosed, patients must pay attention to a reasonable diet, and this is especially true for patients with renal failure. The fruits consumed by patients with renal failure must also be chosen selectively, as improper fruit selection can also increase the burden on the kidneys. Let's see what fruits patients with renal failure can eat...

Persimmon

Persimmon is cold in nature and can easily lead to deficiency-cold syndromes. It is not suitable for people who are weak and frequently ill, or those with dry stools. The tannin substances in persimmons have a strong astringent effect, and excessive consumption can easily lead to a dry mouth, numb tongue, and constipation. Eating persimmons on an empty stomach can easily lead to stomach stones, causing abdominal pain and other issues.

Coconut

Patients with severe heart failure and edema must avoid fruits with high water content. Consuming large amounts of watermelon or drinking too much coconut milk can worsen heart failure and edema.

Banana

Banana is a cold-natured fruit. Excessive consumption can damage stomach function, especially for people who are unwell. Bananas are rich in potassium, and excessive consumption by patients with nephritis can worsen their condition.

Pear

Pears contain a high amount of pectin, which can promote food digestion and bowel movements. However, pears are cold in nature and can easily cause diarrhea. Children with kidney disease should eat them in moderation, especially those with loose stools.Pineapple contains proteases, and some people may experience allergies after eating it, with symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, flushed skin, and general itching. Therefore, before eating, pineapple should be sliced and soaked in salted water for about 20 minutes to break down these substances and reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. Additionally, patients with digestive tract ulcers or liver and kidney diseases should avoid it.

Pomegranate for Constipation

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, apples and pomegranates are considered astringent and can be used to treat diarrhea, so people with constipation should eat them in moderation. The tannic acid in apples combines with protein to form an astringent tannic acid protein, which slows down intestinal motility, thereby prolonging the retention time of feces in the intestines and easily leading to constipation.

Those who suffer from "heatiness" should eat oranges in moderation to prevent abdominal pain and diarrhea.
