Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been a bit swollen all over. I feel weak all the time. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. I was wondering if people with kidney disease can eat carrots?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the description, if the patient's course of illness is prolonged, with a serum creatinine of 481, chronic kidney disease (CKD) should be considered for diagnosis, specifically in the stage of renal failure. The current main treatment plan for the patient is based on slowing the progression of renal function and treating complications of chronic kidney disease. The patient's diet should include a low-sodium, low-fat, high-quality, low-protein diet, while also consuming appropriate amounts of vegetables and fruits. Carrots are a nutritious vegetable, and the patient can eat them.
