Patient's question:
My sister suffers from uremia. Today, I cooked a ginseng soup. I'd like to ask, can people with uremia eat ginseng?Doctor's answer:
According to your question, uremic patients can consume American ginseng, but American ginseng has a certain effect on increasing blood pressure. Therefore, if uremic patients also have high blood pressure, it is not recommended to consume it, as this may cause blood pressure to drop, leading to secondary pulmonary artery hypertension and the recurrence of hypertensive heart disease, heart enlargement, and other adverse conditions. Uremic patients should take medication under the guidance of a local doctor to prevent adverse drug reactions or allergic reactions.
