Patient's question:
A friend is hospitalized with uremia. Tomorrow is the start of the school term, and I want to buy some fruits to visit him. What kind of fruits can uremic patients eat?Doctor's answer:
Patients with uremia primarily exhibit dysfunction in various organs of the body, which can lead to electrolyte imbalances, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, and edema. Patients with uremia need to visit the hospital regularly for dialysis treatment. During the treatment period, they should avoid oral medications and foods that are highly toxic to the kidneys. For example, low-sodium diets are recommended, and foods rich in potassium, such as bananas, should be consumed in moderation. It is better to eat more fruits like apples and cantaloupe.
