Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. I'm wondering if people with impaired kidney function can consume royal jelly?Doctor's answer:
There are many diseases that can lead to kidney dysfunction. The key is to determine what factors have caused the kidney dysfunction. For example, if the kidney dysfunction is due to type 2 diabetes-related neuropathy, in this case, it is not advisable to consume royal jelly. Diabetes patients need to follow a diet that is low in sugar, low in fat, and low in cholesterol. Royal jelly has a high sugar content, and consuming it may worsen the condition of diabetes and put additional strain on the kidneys.
