Can People With Kidney Disease Eat Bananas? Food And Drug Administration Answers! Early Chronic Kidney Disease "eat Like This" To Improve Hyperlipidemia

Banana is nutritious and easy to eat, but the potassium ion content is high. I heard that people with kidney disease can't eat bananas. Is it true? In this regard, the Food and Drug Administration pointed out that for patients with kidney disease who have not entered dialysis, the intake of potassium ions in the diet should be adjusted according to the ability of the individual to metabolize potassium ions, and there is no need to limit excessively; but when the patient's 1 day urine output is less than 1000ml Or when serum potassium levels begin to rise, potassium intake must be specifically restricted.

The Food and Drug Administration stated that because the kidneys cannot effectively excrete potassium from the body, patients with kidney disease may be prone to hyperkalemia. It is necessary to limit the intake of potassium in the diet to reduce the burden on the kidneys, and Avoid complications caused by hyperkalemia (5.5mmol/L, normal value is 3.5-5.5mmol/L).

The average potassium content of 100 grams of bananas is 368 mg. According to the guidelines of the "National Kidney Foundation": patients with stage 1 and 2 chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure should have a daily potassium intake of More than 4 grams; for patients with stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease and hypertension, in order to avoid hyperkalemia, it is recommended to maintain 2 to 4 grams of potassium ion intake per day; dialysis patients generally limit it to 2 to 3 grams per day.

In addition, for patients with chronic kidney disease who have not yet entered dialysis, the restriction of potassium ions should be adjusted according to the situation and should not be over-forced; those who use renin-angiotensin system drugs need to limit potassium ions, and patients who use diuretics often need to limit potassium ions. Supplement with potassium ions. The Food and Drug Administration reminds that it is still necessary to adjust whether to limit potassium ions according to individual circumstances. If kidney disease patients want to eat bananas, they must eat them according to the above guidelines., to avoid causing physical burden.

Wu Yueying, director of the Nutrition Department of Kaohsiung Municipal Datong Hospital, also advised the health education of Datong Community Health News, suggesting that people with early stage chronic kidney disease can improve hyperlipidemia through the following principles of a balanced and healthy diet:

*Reduce saturated fatty acid intake: Avoid lard, tallow, fatty meat, butter, creamer, palm oil, coconut oil products. *Reduce cholesterol intake: Eat less offal, crab roe, shrimp eggs, mullet roe, fish eggs, fish heads, dried small fish, and egg yolks. Use more soy foods, protein, skim milk, and replace meat. *Increase fiber: Choose more fiber-rich foods, such as unprocessed dried beans, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and oats. * Reduce the intake of sweets: Reduce sugar-sweetened beverages, Chinese and Western cakes, canned food and other sugar-sweetened products, because sugar can be converted into endogenous triglycerides in the liver, which increases the concentration of triglycerides in plasma. * Moderate drinking can reduce the concentration of triglycerides in plasma.
