Patient's question:
My husband has uremia, eating more fruits is good for health. I want to consult what fruits should uremic patients eat?Doctor's answer:
Uremia is prone to recurrent dehydration and hyponatremia, and supplementation should be administered promptly based on careful examinations. Supplementation should not be excessive. Potassium, calcium, and other nutrients should be supplemented.In patients with uremia, the use of diuretics can easily lead to hypokalemia. Fresh fruits rich in potassium should be consumed in greater amounts.
Blood calcium levels are often low in patients with uremia, so foods high in calcium should be eaten more frequently, such as fish, shrimp, bone broth, etc.
The dietary plan may include recipes like Dragon Liver Rice, Dried Tangerine Peel and Perilla Leaf Congee, Jujube and Lamb Bone Rice Congee, Watermelon Juice, and Ginger Drink, among others.
