Why do I need dialysis? If your kidneys are not working properly – for example, because you have advanced chronic kidney disease (kidney failure) – the kidneys may not be able to clean the blood properly. Waste products and fluid can build up to dangerous levels in your body.
Here are 17 foods that you should likely avoid on a renal diet.
The researchers say their findings suggest that pomegranate juice taken in controlled amounts with monitoring of potassium content may help reduce complications in dialysis patients. Patients with chronic kidney disease often need to restrict the amount of potassium in their diet to prevent potassium overload.
Most people can drink 3–4 cups (710–950 ml) of tea daily without adverse effects, but some may experience side effects at lower doses. Most of the known side effects associated with drinking tea are related to its caffeine and tannin contents.
Green tea may also lower your risk of developing kidney stones.
Animals which received honey feeding had less kidney dysfunction. Improved kidney function was associated with better preservation of kidney morphology in honey treated group as compared to cisplatin treated group.
Bananas are not bad for the kidneys unless the kidneys are damaged. Damaged kidneys build up potassium in the blood, resulting in serious heart problems. Potassium is present in bananas, other fruits and vegetables (such as potatoes, avocados and melons).
