Many people know that star fruit can harm the kidneys, the reason is that star fruit contains neurotoxins. Even people with normal kidney function, if they are dehydrated or hungry, eating a lot of star fruit can cause the creatinine index in the blood to increase rapidly, leading to acute kidney failure in severe cases.
For people with kidney failure, eating star fruit is especially dangerous. They may experience symptoms such as confusion, muscle weakness, numbness in the limbs, and even coma. Eating just one star fruit can cause poisoning, making the condition worse, leading to urinary poisoning or death.
In addition to star fruit, some fruits such as melon, fig, apricot, pomegranate, apple, banana and orange are high in potassium. These are fruits that are good for people with high blood pressure, but people with kidney disease should limit them.
For people with acute renal inflammation, chronic renal inflammation or impaired kidney function, eating a lot of potassium-containing fruit can cause the kidneys to lose time to excrete, leading to increased potassium in the blood - a condition that can cause cardiac arrest if not treated promptly.
People with kidney failure also need to be careful with watermelon. Due to poor water regulation, their kidneys cannot excrete excess water, causing blood volume to increase rapidly and easily causing acute heart failure. Eating too much watermelon in a short time can cause water retention in the body exceeding the limit, which is dangerous for health.
